Recipe(tried): Grilled Dinner Outdoors.....
Misc. Good Morning Everybody!
We woke up in a rainforest this morning, extremely misty, lots of humidity which I think is great for all the plants...now it is clearing up and the sun is peeking thru, it lokks like it will be a pretty day. Hopefully, we will be getting more rain soon.
What a wonderful feast our friends had for us yesterday. They had grilled shrimp and chicken, grilled yellow squash and sweet potato slices, stuffed potatoes with all the goodies in them, a delicious greens and tomatoes salad with balsamic, feta and black olives, and stuffed clams and crabs. It was very delicious! We enjoyed this fantastic meal sitting by the lake enjoying the scenery and wonderful afternoon weather!
I loved the grilled veggies so much that I am going to do them tonight for our supper and share the recipe.
Tonight we are going to enjoy Cuban Grilled Chicken, Grilled Sugar Maple Spiced Sweet Potato Slices, Grilled Herbed Yellow Squash Slices and Salad.
Happy Sunday to all!!
