It is grilling season!  With the warmer weather we find ourselves grilling more often and we love it!  Not only is it summer grilling season did you know June is also National Fruit and Veggie month? A great reason to fire up the grill and incorporate your favorite veggies and fruits.  When you eat what is in season, not only is it delicious at its peak, eating what's in season will help you save money!!!!  Yes, that is right, when you eat what is in season it is often on sale, helping you stretch your grocery dollars. I found some great savings at our local Foods Co. this past week, it was a great reminder to check your local grocery store ads and find the best deals in town.
We invited my family (my dad, mom and sister) over for dinner on a Saturday for some yummy grilled goodness.  We went grocery shopping at our local Foods Co and they had great prices on meat and all our grilling needs.  We were able to feed all nine of us and had leftovers for Sunday lunch for less than a $100.  We picked up all the ingredients to make our homemade salsa, steak tacos with corn tortillas, as well as steak and chicken kabobs and let's not forget corn on cob which is in season right now. Foods Co has a large produce selection.  If you are local to the Sacramento area check out Foods Co at 3625 Northgate Blvd., Sacramento, CA.





Right now two quick and easy meals that we love to grill up are grilled kabobs both chicken and steak kabobs.  Another family favorite is steak tacos.  These are two meals the entire family enjoys.  There are a million different ways you can cook kabobs, first choosing your meats (Beef, Chicken, or Shrimp) as well as changing up the flavors with spices and sauces, you can find a ton of kabob recipe ideas online at Ralphs.com/Recipes.


For these Kabobs, all you need is the meat of your choice, onion, and bell peppers.  Super simple yet, full of flavor from the grill.  You could marinate your kabobs with barbeque sauce, teriyaki sauce, or keep it simple with your favorite spices.  We kept it simple with garlic salt and pepper, we love the flavor coming from the grilled red onion and bell peppers.  

For steak tacos, we bought thin strips of steak, and used season salt and pepper. In a pan sauté some bell peppers and onion while your meat is grilling.  Grill the thin strips of steak, once done, slice and add in the pan with onions and bell peppers.  Serve with grilled corn tortillas and fresh homemade salsa for a simple and satisfying meal.




Serve alongside with corn on the cob or your favorite grilled veggies.  You could grill squash, zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, asparagus, the list goes on.  Our grill was loaded with meats so we actually cooked our corn on the cob in the Instant Pot, which cooks in ONLY two minutes and comes out perfect every time!
One of the things I often hear from friends and family, is they do not know what to cook, they need meal ideas.  Did you know Ralphs along with their family of stores Foods Co and Food 4 Less has easy to cook and tasty recipes online. Here are twelve easy grilling recipes that I plan on definitely adding to our summer menu planning, you can click the image to go right to the recipe.
