Sambal Chicken Skewers, from the July 2013 Bon Appétit. Yes, this is spicy! People often ask us if a recipe is spicy, and if it isn't something we think of as spicy, we have to say we don't know, since heat tolerance can vary so much from person to person. Even for us, this is spicy (which isn't a bad thing), so if you don't like spicy food, don't make this. We loved this -it gets a 4!  Served with Roasted Baby Squash with Feta and Thyme from Kalyn's Kitchen. Still gets a 5!

Beginner's Brisket from Traeger's Everyday Cookbook, and Roasted Baby Squash with Feta and Thyme from Kalyn's Kitchen. The brisket has great flavors, but not as tender as we hoped--it gets a 3. This is really our first effort at smoked brisket--we definitely want to learn to do this better!  The squash gets a 5!
