Rainbow Veggie Skewers
Rainbows: You can wear them in your hair and you can eat them. TBH, these colorful veggie kebobs are so damn pretty, we don't even care about what they taste like.

Ingredients
16 cherry or grape tomatoes
1 red bell pepper, cored and cut into one-inch squares
1 orange bell pepper, cored and cut into one-inch squares
1 yellow squash, halved and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
1 yellow bell pepper, cored and cut into 1-inch squares
1 zucchini, halved and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
1 green bell pepper, cored and cut into one-inch squares
1 large red onion, peeled and quartered then cut into bite-sized pieces
8 purple potatoes, halved

Vinaigrette Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons white balsamic or white wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions
Whisk together all of the vinaigrette ingredients until blended.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the halved purple potatoes and boil for 10 minutes or until fork tender, stirring occasionally. Drain. Add the purple potatoes and remaining vegetables to a large bowl, and toss with the vinaigrette until combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes, or up to eight hours. If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water before grilling.

When you are ready to cook the vegetables, heat your grill to medium heat. Thread the vegetables onto skewers, in rainbow order. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper, and then place them on an oiled grill for five to seven minutes per side, or until cooked through.

Grilled Portabella Mushrooms With Spinach and Cheese
Mushroom caps may already be in regular grilling rotation at your place (after all, they're an excellent meat-free substitute for burgers), but this recipe takes them to the next level with a tasty cheese-and-spinach topping.

Ingredients
3 portabella mushroom caps
1 tablespoon canola oil
4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
1 cup grated extra sharp cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 clove garlic, grated or finely minced
2 cups firmly packed fresh spinach, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Wipe the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to clean off any dirt. Dry well. Do not rinse under water. Remove the black gills and stems. Using your hands, rub oil onto the outside of the mushrooms.

In a mixing bowl, mix together softened cream cheese, sharp cheddar, garlic and spinach. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste. Mix until combined. Divide cheese mixture between the mushroom caps. Put on the grill, cover and cook until cheese is melted and mushroom is cooked, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a dish and serve immediately.
