Merry, this is lovely! This is perfect for summer when it's too hot to be stuck in the kitchen, you can prep the evening before and grill the next day. So healthy, too!

Thanks girl! I'm so glad you loved this recipe....it's one of my faves. In the winter, you could broil the skewers in the oven :)
