It’s summertime, and the grillin’ is easy.

Especially when you can cook your food on a stick (or skewer, or kebab, or whatever you want to call them)!

Yes, one of the best things about summer getting to say hello to our grills again, after a long winter of hibernation-mode and dinners of soups and casseroles. I mean, we could have used our grill when it was 40-something degrees out. But let’s be real — summertime is grill-time. There’s nothing quite like firing up the charcoals on a warm day, tossing your favorite proteins and veggies and sides on the grill, and enjoying a nice cold beverage out on the deck alongside good friends while everything cooks. It’s the best. And when it comes to easy entertaining, kebabs are definitely the best way to go. They are quick, they are simple, and they are so tasty and fun.

We’ve found some of the brightest, freshest, most colorful kebab recipes in the food blogosphere that should totally be part of your summer grilling routine. So gather your ingredients, thread them onto some skewers, fire up your grill, and let it do all the work!
