Mom's Marinade + Chicken Pineapple Kabobs

With August coming to a close, it's more important than ever to squeeze every last bit of outdoor fun out of my weekends. So J and I got a good group together, made some amazing food and spent the day on a boat. For my part, I made some delicious chicken kabobs with my Mom's ridiculously amazing marinade. 

What You'll Need:
(I usually double this)
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 teaspoons ground ginger
generous sprinkle of garlic powder

Cut the chicken (or steak) into bite size pieces and cover with marinade. Let meat sit in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours. Alternate marinated chicken, bell peppers, onions and pineapple onto skewers. Then grill and enjoy!

I love this recipe because it's simple, it utilizes fresh summertime veggies and it's a total crowd pleaser. Plus they're easy to eat on a boat -- no silverware needed! 

How are you spending the last few weeks of summer?

Thank. God. It's. Friday. I swear with each passing week, the emphasis on the "G" portion of that phrase gets a bit stronger. Maybe it's the AC blues. You know, when you're stuck inside a stark office building while the sun is shining outside. (Don't get me wrong, I love work. I just wish my desk was situated on a beach overlooking the ocean... too much to ask?)

My weekends are usually the same during the summer. Eat, drink, sun myself crispy, sleep, repeat. And if you follow me on Instagram, you are already bombarded with shots of just about every meal I eat and every outfit I don.

Clockwise: Today's outfit; Strawberry Beer = to die for; Dinner on the waterfront; Ridiculous banana cheesecake crepe

Clockwise: Wednesday's outfit, Fig & Prosciutto Pizza; My "Pister" and me; Coolest bar chandelier ever

See all the fun you're missing! (Clearly I'm my biggest fan.) But if you want to join in on the overindulgence that is Instagram, you can follow me @LsFashionDish. And whether you're headed to the Cape this weekend or staying in the city, I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

See you Monday!
