Potato Kabobs

potato and zucchini kabobs


Vegetable and potato kabobs are fun to make, and they are a delicious vegetable side dish. 

I thought of the idea because I wanted something I could serve to company that wasn't being served out of a communal bowl that everyone had to touch and share using the same serving spoon.

Decoration, Invitation, Elegant 
Kabobs are individual and perfect for pandemic serving.

I simply roasted a few different vegetables in my air fryer (could use the oven too). I chose zucchini, potato, and tomato. I considered broccoli and mushrooms but I just didn't have any.

I like making them with roasted potatoes because they are more filling than exclusively using lighter vegetables.

It is a great idea for outdoor dining too or a BBQ. They are very allergy friendly and will meet the needs of anyone vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, or nut free.

As you can see from the photos, I simply layered the roasted vegetables on a kabob skewer long stick.

Each skewer can be picked up individually and then the vegetables could be slid onto the plate or consumed right from the stick.

I cut the zucchini thick and in half moons, I cut the potato into wedges/slices and the tomato into half moons.

I air fried my zucchini and potatoes and left my tomatoes raw.

I've also made raw kabobs. Again, I made it so each guest could pick up a kabob instead of everyone helping themselves from the same crudités plate or bowl.

Lemon Broccoli and Crispy Tofu

Asian vegan recipe for broccoli and tofu

Lemon broccoli and tofu is one of those recipes that I make in a variety of ways depending on my mood and what I have in my kitchen. If I'm in a hurry, I stirfry everything in one skillet; if I want to spend a little more time, I crispy bake the tofu in the oven and then add it to the mixture. Sometimes I use cornstarch to make a creamy sauce, and sometimes I don't. I'll share all my different versions with you and then you can decide which one to try.

Peek at My Week 2


Things are status quo here in South Florida. As of this weekend, our beaches are still closed, and most stores are closed. I have noticed some restaurants with outside seating beginning to opening up!

Intracoastal to the right

I just heard that our mall and stores like Tj Maxx, Homegoods, etc are opening on Monday~but for some reason, not our beaches- Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to really enforce wearing masks or social distancing. I will still be staying at home!

This week I'm sharing a book review, a Netflix review, an exceptional salad and a vegan/gluten free soup recipe plus photos of my walks.
