Oh yes, we are in full BBQ swing in this part of the world, particularly with Christmas pool parties upon us. I know if you are reading this in some distant snowy clime, you will just marvel at the idea of us all splashing around in serious heat, while we whip up a storm on our BBQ’s of choice but really....bookmark this recipe for a summer’s day, (and then play Jingle Bells while you turn the kebabs) to channel your inner Aussie!

These are a very tasty morsel indeed and paired with a salad or three, you will be the toast of the BBQ scene in no time. (Plus you can prep ahead, and be enjoying the occasion as much as everyone else!) Happy Summertime.
