This past weekend was a holiday week and I had an absolute blast. I was happy to spend some much needed time relaxing and catching up with friends. I was also thankful to spend time laughing and eating at my family’s holiday BBQ. Hanging out with my family is like having a big helping of “comfort” food. Honestly, in the past years for BBQ’s I’ve always picked up condiments or store bought items but this year I wanted to shake it up and surprise my family with something. These yummy Teriyaki Veggie Skewers were perfect fit. Plus I’m, adopting them year round as the perfect veggie side dish or appetizer. I hope you enjoy the recipe (and quick video tutorial) and can share them with your family as well.
