With all the delish kabob recipes we’ve been posting, I was yearning for some grilled goodness. There’s pretty much nothing better than some good food hot off the grill in the summer. Many people mistakenly think that vegans miss out on BBQ fun in the summer—but that couldn’t be further from the truth. As this recipe proves, you can have an awesome barbecued meal without the meat. 
I was going to use my roomie’s tabletop grill for this (which you totally can), but decided instead to get straight fancy on you and went to my friends’ place to grill up some teriyaki kabobs there instead (Thanks K & P!). YUM!
Teriyaki-Marinated Kabobs
None of the below listed fruits and veggies are necessary for this recipe—pick and choose your faves! You can keep these kabobs on the super cheap buy just buying a few things, or by hitting up the salad bar at the grocery store for just a little of each ingredient.
Grab your tofu and cut it into large chunks. Grab a plate and pour a bunch of the teriyaki marinade on it, then grab each chunk of tofu and rub it in the sauce, until all sides are coated. Let sit in the sauce as you coat the other tofu chunks. Pour a little more teriyaki sauce on the top and allow to sit for about 30 minutes (or more, if time is on your side!). Next up, put all of your veggies and fruits into a bowl and toss them with more of the teriyaki marinade.
Now you’ll want to grab your skewers (if using wooden ones, soak them in water for 20 minutes first) and thread with your fave veggie, fruit, and tofu combinations. Repeat until you run out of ingredients (or skewers!). Fire up your grill (whichever one you choose to use), and toss those bad boys on the grill, turning as necessary, until cooked through. Allow to cool a bit, then devour.
Is your mouth-watering yet? Serve these babies with some dirty rice. Yum, yum!

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
