Grilled Veggie Skewer

What are we going to do

All right, Cartier's going to take you. I'm here with another home cook. Oh, so this is hers

This is all hers. All right, you want me over here? Yeah. Go, anytime

Go. Y'all, I'm here with a beautiful young woman. Her name is Cartier, like that fine watch

And let me tell you how Cartier wound up here. Bobby has started shooting his new show

The Dean of Lean. The Dean of Lean. The Dean of Lean. And Bobby is going out across America and addressing people that have written in to him to help him, like, slim down their mother's recipes

Right. Because Mama's cooking is the very best. Right. But if you enjoy too much of Mama's cooking..

You know. Spreads the word. Spreads the word, honey. So on Bobby's first show, going out into America

guess who had written in? My boyfriend. Her boyfriend. Yes. Bobby walked into your house

Yes. And because I told him, I said, call me as soon as you're through shooting

He said, Mama, I walked in and met the nicest girl. And he said, I could not believe it when I walked in

Mama, your cookware was sitting on her stove. I said, what color, son

What color? The green set The green which is what I have So Cartier is a home cook just like me no formal training And she going to share one of her recipes with all of us

So put me to work and talk to me. Your eyebrows are insanely beautiful

Oh, thank you. And your skin is lickable. It's just beautiful. Thank you

So, OK, tell me what you want me to do. Okay, we're going to make vegetable skewers, okay

Okay, so you are lightening things up. I'm trying to lighten things up now

So we're going to do some vegetable skewers. It's so good. You know, Bobby lives by code. He eats a certain way five days a week

and then on the weekend he gives himself time to enjoy, like, our home cooking

Right, exactly. That's exactly what he told me. So tell me how you want me to cut everything

Okay, each vegetable thick enough so the skewer can pinch it. Okay, so..

The zucchini and the yellow pepper are about that thick as well

And I'm going to start on the marinade. A little bit of red wine vinegar, oil, and oregano

And a little bit of salt and pepper. Then we're going to mince the garlic

Definitely try that. Do you want this over your veggies? Actually, we can put it in the marinade

Okay. Yes, and I'm just going to whisk that in. That marinade is... I'm gonna whisk that on top. Yes

It smells great. All right, how about your cherry tomatoes? You gonna put those on hold right And I can add those in as well Okay Yes I happen to know what dish Bobby reworked for you

He said that your mother or your grandmother taught you how to make fabulous macaroni and cheese

Macaroni and cheese. He definitely came. When he first came, I said, you know, I don't know if you can do macaroni and cheese lighter

Macaroni and cheese is a tough one, Cartier. It is. Because macaroni and cheese, it's macaroni and cheese

I don't know. I said, well, maybe... Now, how did your grandma teach you how to make it? Bobby didn't tell me that

She taught me... Well, first, my grandmother would always be in the kitchen. I'm going to just mix it

Toss them for me, okay. I'm going to toss them for you in your oven. I would watch her as she did it, actually

And my grandmother is definitely old school. We didn't use any of the shredded cheeses

It was the blot cheese. I know, yes. And you cut them into cubes

And you know, the best cheese out there for macaroni and cheese is when you go in these old country grocery stores

that has the hoop cheese sitting up there on the meat counter. Yep

That's the finest kind of cheese. And also processed cheese. Processed cheese

Like that one that comes in a block. In a block. It's so creamy. Does Granny put that in there

She does. She does. We add, and it's extra cheesy. But, you know, it's definitely not good for the heart

I'm pretty sure it's not good for the heart. You know, it's all about once in a while

Right, exactly. It's all about once in a while. It's slippery. Grab that on there and let add one more Lay that on top of the grill Music of the air Sizzles Yeah sizzles And we got our swamp They look delicious

They look amazing. Now you talking about good and good for you

Well, you know, my boyfriend is a personal trainer. Oh, he is

He's a personal trainer, so I have no choice. Come on, don't say what. Just run in and grab one

So run in. You have to be fit. He's, mm. Oop. Damn

My boyfriend. I get it now. How you doing? You are so nice looking
