This recipe was born out of one of those “what do I do with all these tomatoes?” kind of weeks. I had a bowl full of ripe ones from the farmer’s market, and on a whim, I threw a few on the grill. That little bit of char brought out all their sweetness, and when I topped them with olive oil and fresh...

...These skewers came from one of those “what can I make with what I have?” nights — a little beef, some bell peppers, and soy sauce. I mixed up a quick teriyaki-style marinade and tossed them on the grill. The result was juicy, savory-sweet, and way better than takeout. Now they’re part of our weekly ...
