Grilled Veggie Skewers with Balsamic Lemon Drizzle

John and I have been in our house for 4.5 years. This is our fourth summer in this house and we just got a grill this past week. Can you believe it?! I can't. Growing up my dad grilled year round. I have distinct memories of him out grilling in the snow- nothing held him back. And yet getting a grill here just never happened! That first summer we passed because we had so many big expenses in the new house, and then before you know it we were just used to life without one. In the past week I've cooked on the grill twice and I seriously don't know how I lived without it. Prepare to see many grill-friendly meals coming your way!

These skewers were part of the Father's Day BBQ we had (hence the less than stellar picture- I was rushing to feed a crowd). I hate making green salad for parties because I feel like it never gets eaten. I decided to make these skewers so there were fresh veggies but in a more appealing way. Give this a shot- it's truly so easy and so delicious!
