Grilled Appetizers & Wine with My Tahoe Ladies
/ Susan ScobieLast weekend in Tahoe was so much fun! I created a spread of easy grilled appetizers, and we spent the evening sipping wine and catching up. Here are the bite-sized recipes I served!
Perfectly seared flank steak rests on a tangy blue cheese spread, finished with a spoonful of sweet, warm balsamic onion jam over grilled baguette slices. It’s an effortless dish that brings bistro style to your grill party!
Bright, smoky, and zesty—these grilled shrimp skewers are basically summer on a stick. Paired with a cool, tangy lime sauce, they come together fast enough for a weeknight, but look fancy enough to trick your guests into thinking you spent hours over the grill.
Caramelized on the grill and sprinkled with cinnamon brown sugar, these warm grilled pears are topped with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce. It's an effortless, crowd-pleasing dessert that feels straight out of a bistro!
Slathered in tangy cream, rolled in crumbled cotija, and dusted with chili lime spice, these Grilled Mexican Street Corn Pops deliver a maximum crowd-pleasing crunch that makes standard corn on the cob feel completely boring.
The heat from the grill caramelizes the plums' natural sugars, while a cool dollop of whipped balsamic goat cheese cream balances every warm, juicy bite.

Tender asparagus meets crispy, savory prosciutto in these quick-grilled spears—finished with fresh Parmesan for a fast, crowd-pleasing starter.
