Grilled Veggie & Sausage Kebabs

When I was growing up, my mom did all the cooking.

That was a good thing.

I have very vivid memories of my Dad trying to make things when my mom was out, and let’s just say it wasn’t a good thing. (Sorry Dad, but I am still traumatized by that cold cinnamon toast you made me.)

The one exception was grilling. My Dad always stepped in when it was time to grill.

I suppose this mostly had to do with tradition. To be honest, I never really gave it much thought beyond the idea that grilling was a “man thing.”

In the eighteen years hubby and I have been together, I’ve always let him handle the grill. (Even when it meant flames that were so high I sat there with my phone in hand prepared to call the fire department.)

This summer, I’m stepping up and getting in on the grilling myself. I’m hoping to become a legend at my grill.

To keep things exciting, I’m saying no to burgers and using Hillshire Farm® Smoked Sausage Cheddar Wurst. I love it combined with seasonal vegetables in these Grilled Veggie & Sausage Kebabs. Paired with quinoa, it is the perfect summer meal.

I picked up Hillshire Farm® Smoked Sausage Cheddar Wurst while I was at Walmart. It uses quality cuts of meat and creamy Wisconsin cheese. Fully cooked and seasoned to perfection, it is the perfect easy to prepare meal that the whole family loves.

To become a legend at your grill, visit the Legends website. There you can get recipes and tips from the sports legends themselves, like Cal Ripken Jr. It is the perfect way to get inspired to fire up something new.
