Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine first six ingredients. Pour 3/4 cup into a large resealable plastic bag; add beef. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate 1-4 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting. , Drain and discard marinade. On 12 metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread the beef, pineapple, mushrooms, peppers and onion. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs rub on grill rack to coat lightly., Grill, covered, over medium-hot heat 8-10 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness, turning occasionally and basting frequently with reserved marinade., Cook rice according to package directions; serve with kabobs.

Steps:

• For the fingers: Break up the beef with your fingers in a large bowl, then scatter the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and a few grinds of pepper over the top. Gently mix with your hands and divide in half. Make 6 to 7 fingers from each half. Mold a finger of beef on a skewer, making sure to mold it right over the skewer tip. Repeat with the remaining fingers. Push a slice of garlic into the tip of each finger for a fingernail.
• Grill and dip. Heat a griddle on the grill or stovetop to 375 degrees F.
• Cook the skewers over direct heat, turning occasionally, until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes total.
• For the blood sauce: Stir together the ketchup, honey and vinegar in a bowl. Serve with the fingers as a bloody dip.

Steps:

• Split open the vanilla pod and scrape out the pulp, and add the pod and the pulp to a small saucepan along with the brown sugar, lime juice, and salt. Whisk together and place the mixture over medium high heat and bring to a boil, stirring just until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and allow to sit for 2 hours before using. Remove the vanilla pod. Once cool, place the syrup in a squeeze bottle or other sealable container. Store in the refrigerator.
• Preheat grill on high.
• Peel and remove the core from the pineapple. Cut the pineapple into eighths, lengthwise, and remove any prickly brown eyes.
• Thread the pieces of pineapple onto the skewers lengthwise. Coat the skewered pineapple on all sides with the syrup. Grill on all sides until golden brown, approximately 4 minutes per side, 12 minutes total, or until the pineapple is tender. Serve with any remaining sauce.

Steps:

• Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Refrigerate the pineapple. In a small bowl, combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, oil, ginger, garlic and pepper. Reserve 1/3 cup marinade for basting and 1/3 cup for serving; cover and refrigerate., Pour the remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add beef cubes. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight., Drain and discard marinade from beef. On metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread beef and pineapple chunks. Grill, uncovered, over medium heat for 5 minutes on each side or broil 4-6 in. from the heat until beef reaches desired doneness, basting frequently with one portion of reserved marinade. Serve with remaining marinade.

Steps:

• To prepare the pineapple, pull off the green top by "unscrewing" it. Reserve the best leaves for decoration by placing them in cold water, trimming them if needed to make their shape a little more perfect.
• With a large sharp knife, cut the peel off the pineapple and halve it lengthwise. Reserve half the pineapple for another use. Cut the remaining pineapple in half lengthwise and cut out the core. Cut the pineapple into 1 1/2-inch thick slices and then into chunks.
• In a bowl, whisk together the syrup and rum, if using. Toss the chunks in the maple syrup and thread them, alternating with blueberries, onto the wooden skewers. Lay the skewers in a shallow dish. Pour the remaining syrup over skewers. Cover and chill. (The skewers can be assembled up to a day in advance.)
• To grill skewers: Brush the fruit 1 more time with maple syrup from the bottom of the dish. Fire up your grill and place the skewers on to cook them, turning occasionally, until caramelized.
• To serve: Place scoops of vanilla ice cream in dessert bowls, arranging 2 pineapple leaves at the back like rabbit ears, then place a skewer across each bowl. Pour any remaining maple syrup over the ice cream and serve immediately.

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, orange or pineapple juice and hot honey. Set aside.
• For the skewers: Preheat a grill, cast-iron grill, griddle or pan over medium-high heat.
• In a medium bowl, add the chicken, pineapple, jalapeños and oil and toss to coat. Add the elote seasoning and a couple grinds of black pepper and toss again. Add to metal skewers in any order, but I prefer adding all of the same thing on one skewer.
• Cook on all sides until the chicken is cooked through and the pineapples and jalapeños are charred, 10 to 12 minutes, turning every couple of minutes. Brush the skewers with the sauce halfway through and again when they're done.
• Transfer the skewers to a cutting board. Remove the skewers and roughly chop the chicken, pineapples and jalapeños together. Transfer to a serving bowl.
• For the tacos: In a medium bowl, combine the onions and cilantro. Place some taco filling in a warm tortilla and top with some onion-cilantro mixture, a squeeze of lime juice and a few shakes of hot sauce if using.
