This Memorial Day, toss some of these outrageously delicious Sneaky Chef Veggie Dog Kebabs on the grill alongside juicy Veggie Patch Ultimate Meatless Burgers and watch your friends and family literally line up for more!
The Veggie Dog Kebabs are super easy: just cut up some Veggie Patch Veggie Dogs into half inch pieces and skewer them with alternating pieces of pineapple chunks, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini & onion chunks, etc. Then coat with some of my famous Sneaky Chef BBQ Sauces (recipe below) and grill on the rack or, if you have them, on veggie grillers (flat non-stick pans with holes) that you set on the grill--they hold the sauce better than on open racks directly. We do this here all the time in summer and they make Veggie Dog Kebabs that are out of this world! Simply serve over rice and with sneaky sides like corn on the cob, sneaky cole slaw, etc.
Next, for the healthiest, juiciest, best tasting burgers you've ever had, go gourmet! Just put some Veggie Patch Ultimate Meatless Burgers on the grill and you'll quickly see why these thick and juicy burgers are a far cry from ordinary vegetarian burgers. They are sure to please even the most discerning burger-lover. Serve on a whole wheat bun with plenty of Sneaky Chef BBQ Sauces (recipe below), onions, lettuce, and with sides like corn on the cob and cole slaw.
Use these simple and delicious recipes to make this Memorial Day your most healthy and delicious ever!
Enjoy in good health,
