Last night we had a wonderful time with our friends Ted and Karen and their kids. Dave is becoming a master griller! The secret’s in the sauce!!! (Anyone see Fried Green Tomatoes!?) I have two favorite marinades and I’ve tried a ton of them and made my own. But, these two are the best, in my opinion. McCormick Grill Mates Tomato, Garlic and Basil Marinade and McCormick Grill Mates Hickory BBQ Marinade. You add olive oil and vinegar to the dry package mix and marinate the chicken overnight. Yummy!!!
For summer I LOVE salads. My friend Karen brought a salad last night that I really could eat for every meal.
Karen’s Delicious and Nutritious Everything-in-the-Fridge Salad
Mixed greens
Grape tomatoes
Canned black beans, drained
Canned corn, drained
Cucumber, sliced
Onion, sliced (I like Vidalia)
Green onions, diced
Black Olives
Cilantro
Dice or chop whatever needs chopping and mix everything together. No need for salad dressing as the corn and beans add a little bit of moisture. Enjoy!!!!
Big thanks to my friend Cristie who picked up Carmen’s birthday party invitations yesterday! You are thoughtful and kind and congratulations on finding out you are having a BOY!!!
