A few notes about this lovely meal. These were SO GOOD, but they were super crumbly...from the beans...so I would add an egg to hold the burgers together. The cilantro and lettuce are from the garden. The bread...because I had no buns in the house. And ran out of time to make them from scratch. The salsa is homemade from last year's garden. (Canned, of course.) … [Read more...]
Grilled Chicken Fajita Pasta
I grew up in South Texas. Where you can find a fajita on just about every corner. But I've never had Fajitas in pasta form. Must say...not too bad.

Grilled Balsamic Chicken
So it's almost 90 today here in Ohio. I'm sure it's some sort of heat record. And if it's not it should be. It's making me tired. And cranky. And the bazillion little cottonwood seeds drifting through the air, and some other pollen are wrecking havoc on my allergies. (I just took a Benadryl, so if the end of this doesn't make sense, you'll know why.) I turned the A/C on this … [Read more...]

Lettuce Burger Wraps
So we made our burgers this past Sunday night. And there were only enough buns for Steve and Grandma. I could have used regular bread instead, but I went for the lower calorie option. (Shedding postpartum baby weight is taking a little longer this go around!) I just took some of the large leaves from a Romaine lettuce head and wrapped the patty up with some red onion and … [Read more...]
Grilled Tilapia
I dug out some tilapia fillets from the depths of the freezer. Thankfully they were vacuum packed and in another freezer bag, so they almost as good as fresh! I wanted to grill the fillets straight on the grill, but they were too thin...so I "foil grill" it is. And we'll round out the meal with Buttery Succotash with Dill and Grilled Garlic Bread. Tilapia on the … [Read more...]
