We have officially entered grilling season and I am all about it. I get lots of questions about how to grill certain meats, but the number one request is always how to grill chicken without drying it out. I am here to tell you that it is not hard to grill up perfectly tender chicken breasts right at home. I have a few tips that will ensure your chicken will turn out juicy every single time. My method for simple grilled bone-in chicken breasts is one that you will use over and over again.
I've been needing a salad in my life lately after going on a two month, I think I'll just eat whatever I want phase. Which don't get me wrong has been great, and everyone needs to do it every now and then, but it's time to get a grip. And a good salad always helps to get me going in the right direction. This summer grilled romaine and peach cobb salad is so yummy that you won't even be thinking about the fact that it is healthy!
Trust me on this one.
Have you ever had grilled romaine lettuce? It's grilled quickly just to char to ends which is just enough to still leave a good crunch to the lettuce. It's delicious! And we all know I like to grill just about everything! Remember that grilled romaine wedge salad that I had in Lafayette a couple of weekends ago? Well that salad inspired this one.
I love updating a favorite salad with whatever ingredients are in season and that happen to be at the market. One of my favorite salads is a cobb salad, and really you add any ingredients that tickle your fancy. This week, I decided to grill some of the components to get a smoky flavor mixed with the other veggies. The grilled peaches add a nice sweetness, and then it's brought all together with a creamy homemade low-fat blue cheese dressing!
It's summer which means that corn is in season, which makes me a very happy girl. Corn on the cob is one of my favorites and I could eat it everyday honestly. I like it boiled, grilled, roasted, sautéed...I don't discriminate. I can get it fresh at the farmer's market right now and it's so sweet and tender (I could eat it right now, for breakfast.) And since I buy a dozen each week, I wanted to turn the flavor up a notch so that I can get away with serving it several times a week! Hello Mexican inspired grilled corn on the cob, get in my belly.
Get ready for your life to be changed. I mean seriously this corn is amazing. It's full of flavor, it's healthy, and it's quick and easy to prepare! The presentation is pretty enough for entertaining, but easy enough for any ole night of the week to serve your family!
The flavors are so fresh and just scream summertime. It's the perfect side for BBQ, burgers, fish, or chicken...or you can eat leftovers for breakfast...I won't judge.
