Last night was had a feast having again the tea soaked chicken, (alright that's a definite new favorite, so quick easy and tasty), with grilled corn. I have found that wrapping corn in foil after removing the husks, adding a little butter / margarine and a squeeze of lime or lemon juice they come out perfect every time. I do move them around the grill a little and turn them but the butter helps to steam them along with the juice, if you want the grill marks after about 10 minutes you can remove the foil and grill them over the flame, it also helps that the girls love corn as well so it's one of our go to sides in the summer, as the chicken has been marinading since the morning it's a case of putting them all on the grill at once and about 15 minutes later your dinner is ready. I also had a side of spinach for the adults with a nice dressing.
The coming week I have some interesting new recipes to try although I'm also throwing in some old favorites as well. Tonight we are having the wasabi shrimp again after all it's fish night tonight :) I'm actually doing three vegetarian meals over the next week, and that is because they just sound so yummy, and I'm adverse to eating vegetables, and those night's it's always interesting to see if the girls will eat it as well. I'm also going to do my tandoori chicken, it's my version it's quick it's easy and about as authentic as I'm going to make it but that doesn't really matter does it?
The weather this year is definitely weird. We are so much cooler this year than we normally are, not that there is anything wrong with that but it's weird. However, by cooking outside and letting the girls run around outside as well we are keeping most of our bills down including the electric bill. I'm certainly not making the house hot by having the oven on which helps, we aren't watching the tv so it's all good.
