Yummy grilled food
After a major lull in my cooking, I've dived back in full force. I think I've cooked more big meals in the last 6 weeks than I did during my entire pregnancy. However, it's a lot harder than it used to be since we have our little winkie and I've forgotten to take pictures of most of them!
On Saturday night, we had my family over for kabobs. I'd never made them before, and it was fun! We had cherry tomatoes, vidalia onion, squash, zucchini, red pepper, baby portobellas, pineapple chunks, and marinated sirloin steak (I made an awesome marinade if I don't say so myself). They were really healthy and good!
We also made chicken satay (chicken on a stick with a Thai peanut sauce). It was so tender, and white meat isn't always. I went out on a limb and marinated it in coconut milk overnight. I'm not sure if that's what made a difference, but I've never had grilled chicken so tender before, so maybe it did? We also had grilled corn on the cob with garlic butter and a salad.
I also baked an almond cake with berries and fresh whipped cream, but it was gone before I could take a picture. It was in this month's Bon Appetit.
And for your viewing pleasure, I have added some pictures of Olivia. :-)
