Summer Food

Here are a couple recipes that we have tried lately and loved:

1) Chicken Satay.  Perfect on the grill and a nice change from BBQ.  We made this when we had some friends over last week for a cookout -- it was a hit!  I did simplify it a little -- just oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, and garlic for the marinade since I had all of it on hand already.  Made it again tonight for a quick weeknight dinner.

2) Lemon Garlic Pasta.  Really tasty!  Very fresh and and light, perfect for summer.  Great with a glass of white wine.  Bonus: dinner in under 20 minutes.

3) Grilled Corn.  I absolutely love sweet corn in the summer -- try it on the grill for a lovely smokey flavor.  You can shuck the corn completely and wrap in foil, but my new favorite way is to only pull the husk away enough to remove the silk and then recovering and grilling the corn in the husk.  See the link for full directions.

Enjoy!
