Tomato & Sweet Chili Pork Kabobs

Disclosure: This recipe for Pork Kabobs was sponsored by Blue Dragon. As always, all opinions are my own.

Heating up the kitchen in the summertime can make the evening miserable. Especially when there are so many great grilling recipes out there. Wait….did I say recipes? In the summer, I seem to have developed the inability to read long drawn out recipes. It must be the heat affecting my attention span. How can people make pork kabobs difficult?

I want:

– fresh

– quick

– easy

– relatively healthy

I do NOT want:

– a long list of ingredients (especially spices or odd ingredients because we are still building up the pantry at the cottage so I still don’t have MANY ingredients)

– extensive prep that ties me to the kitchen (I need to ride on the boat!)

Well, this recipe is easy peasy and tastes amazing. I decided to use one of my Blue Dragon cooking sauces as a marinade and basting sauce and it worked amazingly well. While the sauce alone has a bit of a kick to it, using it as a marinade does not make the food spicy at all (which means the 7 year old will actually eat it). The whole family raved about dinner.
