The days are FINALLY getting warmer and longer! The sun rise is right around 6 AM and the mornings haven’t been too chilly. The last few evenings I’ve enjoyed either running or relaxing on the deck. I will never get tired of summer days, I was made to live somewhere that has weather like this consistently!
With sunny days and warm evenings, everyone in my neighborhood has been doing a lot of grilling. Its a double edged sword – I love the smell of a grill at work but when I arrive home famished, walking over to the neighbors with a plate sounds much better than cooking 🙂
Marinating your meat or veggies before throwing them on the grill takes whatever your making to a whole new level of delicious. We used this marinade with chicken and it gave a flavor. I marinated about 7-8 chicken breasts using the proportions in the recipe, adjust accordingly to how much meat/veggies you are preparing.
