Bob's Kabobs

Life is good this time of year in Colorado.  While we love our home state of Kentucky, the humidity and afternoon heat would often make eating dinner on the deck a bit uncomfortable.   Here in Colorado Springs there is rarely a night during the summer that is not perfect and you will find the family gathering around the grill, on the deck for dinner more often than not.

Our home is a bit off the beaten path, nearly 7 miles to the closest grocery store.  Couple that with being a large and active family, we would often find ourselves wanting to hit the grill in the evening but either having no suitable meat or a limited selection.  This summer the problem has been solved.   Some friends here in the Springs who share our passion for caring for the orphan and who have also spent years in the food packaging and distribution business have started a food services company that I want to share with you.

WWW.DestinyFoodsDirect.com sends a high quality, variety package of flash frozen meats to your door at prices that we are unable to match at our local grocery.  When we first considered it, we were concerned that it would not fit in our freezer but having now gone through our first order, found that it fit neatly and it has supplied us for the past 60 days.

We can come home at 6pm, choose from great quality chicken, steak, beefsteak patties and pork on a moments notice.  It just takes a short time to thaw in cold water and the family is eating on the deck in no time.

Another reason that I love Destiny foods is that each order of food mobilizes resources to feed a child with one of their partner ministries.  By simply changing the way we buy food, we receive value and great ministries are supported in their work of caring for vulnerable children.  They guys at Destiny call it the food that feeds twice.

I thought I would share a recent Chicken Kabob recipe.  It is one that my mother-in-law would fix every Sunday and has become one of my grilling favorites.
