How was your weekend? Did you have a big Father's Day celebration?

I had a pretty epic weekend, actually.

Saturday was my annual girls boat day up at the lake. We rode around, sipped on some drinks and tasty snacks, chatted and soaked in the sunshine and fresh air! We went back to my friend's house after, made some dinner and stayed up late talking and hanging out. A good day for the soul!

The next day we slept in a bit (so glorious) and then I finally headed home to shower my husband with some Father's Day love. 💕

I couldn't make him these cheesy grits breakfast bowls I just shared with you, but I packed us up a delicious picnic and we spent the evening at the park listening to the symphony. 🎼

It's a summer series they do every year and so much fun! (And this one was Star Wars themed, so we especially loved it!)

ALL kinds of fun 🙌 Now if I just had a couple more days to recover... 😳

But with summer fully underway (OK, it's not official until Wednesday but I'm declaring it summer in our area already), that means we are spending ALL kinds of time running around outside all day. Those kiddos don't stop!

And then we love heading to the grill at night!

Cause if you're like us, coming home, cleaning up and heading back out in PJs (kids... and maybe me 😉) and with drinks (us adults) is the perfect ending to the day!

So I’m bringing you these easy sausage pineapple kabobs with BBQ sauce. Featuring Hillshire Farm Naturals Polska Kielbasa Rope, made with pork and chicken.

The new Naturals line features products that have no artificial ingredients, no added nitrates and no MSG. That’s what I’m talking about! 🙌

These kabobs are perfect for parties because you don’t have to marinate anything ahead of time and you also don’t have to worry about getting your meat cooked through. It’s all set to go and just needs to be warmed up while the veggies cook!

Plus, I love having kabobs because well, food on a stick. 👍 Which is especially convenient at a party when you want to focus on your friends and family, not balancing a plate. Just grab a kabob in one hand, your drink in the other and go mingle!

And of course, these kabobs can be a main meal too - just load those kabobs up! You could even add some chunks of fresh Tyson chicken if you’d like to make some mixed kabobs!

So get on down to your nearest Kroger (which is Harris Teeter in my neck of the woods) and pick up some of this sausage (it's brand new and rolling out to stores NOW) so you can bring a strong kabob game this summer!

And if you need some yummy eats to go alongside these kabobs, I would highly recommend cheddar, corn and bacon potato salad, bacon rice with corn or my classic spaghetti salad.

And don’t forget the veggies - you can grill your salad with my seared Romaine and easy cheater’s Caesar dressing or this easy summer salad with blueberries.

Notes on making sausage pineapple kabobs:

• Be sure to soak your skewers before you make these kabobs, so they don’t burn up on the grill.
• I used the Hillshire Farm Naturals Polska Kielbasa Rope for this recipe, but you could substitute their Turkey Kielbasa Rope as well if you prefer.
• You can use a homemade BBQ sauce or your favorite store-bought version.
• Adjust the number and size of your skewers depending on how you want to serve these. They make 4 as a main meal or about 8 as an appetizer.

I hope your summer is filled with warm nights spent outside by the grill, surrounded with friends and family and plenty of good eats. 😊

(And maybe some delicious drinks as well! 🥃🍹🍸🍺🍷)

Happy grilling!
