happy 4th!

happy july fourth weekend! we're taking it easy & enjoying pool time, riding bikes & doing a little grilling. robert made jamie oliver's cilantro & mint marinated chicken & shrimp zucchini kabobs with baked beans & sweet corn with a rosemary butter. it was fantastic. the perfect start to a long summer weekend.

avocado tacos

it's already grillin' weather here in florida. we've been making these avocado tacos like nobody's business. they are super easy. the grill is optional to warm your avocados & tortillas. then just add some lettuce, cilantro, tomatoes, onions, cheese & some fresh-squeezed lime. be sure to season your tomatoes & avocados with some pepper & garlic salt. such a healthy & delicious meal (oh geeze, I just sounded like rachel ray. sorry).

summer kabobs

nothing says summer like kabobs on the grill. I marinated some chicken in a little olive oil, red wine vinegar, lime juice, paprika and s&p for a few hours. we threaded skewers with green peppers, banana peppers, onion & my favorite, pineapple & threw them on the grill. they were delicious & so easy.

the next morning robert cooked up some omelets with the leftovers.
