Grilling season is here, so I will be sharing a few of my favorite and sometimes slightly unusual but still highly tasty grilling recipes. 

Steaks, chops, chicken, burgers; they’re all fantastic and even better cooked over open fire, but did you know fruit can be delicious, too?

Grilled fruit is fantastic because it’s hot and sugary and it’s not bad for you.

This is a really fun and interesting side dish or dessert that you can bring fully prepared to family reunions or parties. All you have to do is throw them on the grill and who doesn't love cooking with fire?

Here’s what you need: Non stick spray, kebab skewers, cubed pineapple, cubed apple, cubed pear, cubed melon, grapes and strawberries, and honey. If your skewers are wood, make sure they are soaked first so they don’t catch on fire.

Spray grill grates with non stick spray. Toss fruit with honey, arrange it however you'd like on the skewers and place it on a hot grill. Turn frequently to allow sugars to brown slightly. Kebabs are done when the fruit is crisp-tender.

Now for the fun part: Grand Marnier dipping sauce! You need a half cup of packed brown sugar, a teaspoon of Grand Marnier liqueur and one cup of reduced fat sour cream. (Orange extract and plain Greek yogurt are also perfectly acceptable substitutes.) Whisk together ingredients in a bowl until the brown sugar is dissolved. Chill for one hour prior to serving.
