Friday Four 061518: Happy Fathers Day Asian Grill for Dad!
Here’s the perfect one plate dinner for Dad! A smoky flavor-filled grill over an easy Asian peanut dressing salad. Add a bottle of juicy-fruit-forward Grenache and Dad will be happy this year!
Friday Four 060818: Sherry Vinegar Chicken with Spanish Potato Salad
This recipe is ready for backyards, porches and patios and the grill! The chicken marinade and the potato salad both have the same spices, invoking the flavors of summer in Spain!
Friday Four 060118: Summer Salmon with Bright Green Salsa
This is one of those recipes that I can put together in a snap and have time to enjoy dinner with family and friends. Its an oven recipe – although its also yummy when you grill it!
Friday Four 052518: Florida Fish Sliders with Papaya Slaw
Yummy, Fun and Messy are three words to describe these fish sliders from the grill. Inspired by 30A and wonderful trips to celebrate good times! Let the weekend begin!
