Grilled Fruit Kebab + Honey Mint Glaze

It’s about that time of summer where the novelty of summer has started wearing off but I’m still not ready for it to end. I’m ready for the kids to go back to school and get back on a schedule but I’m not quite ready to give up the sun, pool and BBQs. You know what I mean?

But I find the last couple of weeks in August and first few in September seems to be the best of both worlds. It’s still warm enough to enjoy the summer and grilling but the kids are back to school and I get back to my routine. So let’s not pack up those BBQs quite yet because we still have some grilling left to do!

A perfect summer dessert for the BBQ from the Whole Smiths. Paleo friendly!

Like these amazing Grilled Fruit Kebabs + Honey Mint Glaze I partnered up with Whole Foods Market to bring you! As part of their Unique Summer Grilling Campaign I wanted to create something that was healthy, fun, easy and of course unique for you. I also thought a dessert would be appropriate for a summer grilling because nobody wants to be turning on an oven to bake something when it’s toasty outside.

I also thought it would perfectly showcase the amazing fruit I always find at Whole Foods Market. Hands down they have the best fresh produce department of any grocery store in my mind. Truly, it is always the BEST. First off, I can find anything organic and everything is always just the perfect amount of “ripe”. All of their fruit always looks so pretty, fresh and inviting. Always. Even ask Brad, I just wander around their produce department looking for new things to try and load up on the fresh fruit. There’s also a huge variety that I can’t find elsewhere, I even recently found a jackfruit there. So needless to say Summer + Grill + Fruit seemed like a perfect Unique Summer Grilling combo to me.

But I couldn’t just throw some pineapple onto a skewer and call it a day, no way. I needed to take this up a notch and really bring out the flavors so I created a honey glaze using honey (duh) and some champagne vinegar to balance out the flavors and topped it with some fresh mint. All of those flavors combined with some char from the grill really did the trick. I also wanted to use fruits that don’t always hit the grill like plums, pears and figs. I’m here to tell you they all grilled up perfectly… especially the figs. But I’m partial to figs so take that for what it’s worth. Get creative and try additional fruits that I might not have listed here. Trust me, you ca go wrong with warm, sweet honey-ied fruit.

Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱 In early 2020 I Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱In early 2020 I polled my audience because we were on the hunt for a new mattress. You overwhelmingly recommended @avocadogreenbrands. And then we all got locked down and I put our mattress hunt on hold. I bought a cheapie mattress online instead since we couldn’t try things out and none of us had any clue what was happening. Big mistake. HUGE. It was the worst mattress ever. So earlier this year we decided it was time to get a PROPER GROWN UP MATTRESS and went with @avocadogreenbrands.I’m not going to lie, I was a little nervous about ordering online and not being able to “test” it in person. I’m here to tell you it’s one of the best things in my life. It is THE MOST comfortable mattress I have ever laid my pretty little face on. And Brad agrees.Not to mention is green and environmentally friendly.Legit, slipping into bed at night feels like a hug from heaven and I can’t even handle it. I told Brad that, God forbid, we ever divorce I’m taking the mattress with me. So, if you are on the hunt go with @avocadogreenbrands. We went with the Avocado Green mattress with pillow top. And I just looked and they’re having an early cyber/Black Friday Sale. Anyways. Obsessed and eagerly awaiting my next nap. ✌🏼
Gluten-Free Cranberry Bars Personally, one of my Gluten-Free Cranberry BarsPersonally, one of my fave desserts ever is pumpkin pie. I wish it was a year ‘round thing. BUT! If you aren’t pumpkin crazy, not into pies and need something DIFFERENT to bring to Thanksgiving this year, let it be this. Think a lemon bars more festive friend. In fact, it’s great for a Christmas too. It’s available now to my community a the link in my bio. ❤️
