A Taste of Summer

Day light savings, nice weather, a 5 mile jog/walk outside with the doggies, and some excellent sales at the Teet all led us to our very first cookout of the year!!

For the main course we mad two dishes...delicious steaks which marinated for multiple hours and also a mixture of shrimp, orange and yellow bell pepper, and a lot of onions....served over wheat rice...this was a first for us and it turned out magnifico!!!

Grilled Sweet Potato fries are quickly becoming our favorite side item.  Before grilling we mix them and let them sit in a bag with some olive oil, honey, and brown sugar!!  mmmmm soooo tasty!!

And for dessert, a very colorful fruit salad...Now if this doesn't scream summer time I am not sure what does!!!
And to top off the night we had a fun and entertaining evening with the Freudiger's.  A very competitive game of Taboo, funny stories, and a very weird alien movie made for a perfect relaxing and healthy night!!
