Grilling Outside at Christmas??! Really?

The weather could be much worse at this time of year in this high Rocky Mountain state, but what a nice surprise to have mid-60's in December! I'm soaking this warm sunshine in before the snow falls, soon. Maybe it will snow on Christmas day :)

My husband David, aka Grill Master, got the Weber all fired up for some summertime in December grilling!

I made shrimp and rib-eye steak kebabs with green and red bell peppers, and onions marinated in a sherry wine, soy sauce mixture with lots of garlic. Look! They're all decked out in Christmas colors! 

My mom sent us some delicious, juicy pears for Christmas, so I added them to the Romaine lettuce, pecan and blue cheese salad. I dressed it with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper. This made an excellent (and Paleo friendly, except for the cheese which I didn't pick out) side dish.
