Day Two hundred and eighty-six

We had a family BBQ at our house the other day.  My sister and her husband are in town, so it was my parents, grandparents, sister and husband, and my family.  A fun time, and full belly, were had by all.  ;)

Grilled veggies: Zucchini, yellow squash, and grape tomatoes, brushed first with white wine, and roasted on skewers on the grill.

Roasted red potatoes, drizzled with olive oil and rosemary from the garden.  These cook in packages of tin foil on the grill.

Cheeseburgers: Both turkey and beef.

Sauteed onions: My husband can't eat a burger without them.

My husband's burger: He was very proud of it.

Dinner: Cheeseburgers, corn, roasted potatoes, grilled veggies, and cantaloupe.

Day Two hundred and fifty-two

Family BBQ: BBQ chicken, pulled pork (crockpot, recipe: Make it Fast, Cook it Slow) with rolls, corn on the cob, rosemary potatoes, sauteed onions, and a veggie platter.

Fresh fruit platter

Day Two hundred and thirty-five

Man dinner: Steak, sauteed onions, baked potato, steamed broccoli, watermelon.

Day One hundred and nine

Smiley face dinner: Grilled chicken, asparagus, and triple-stuffed broccoli and cheese potatoes (recipe: Sneaky Chef; This is one of our favorite potato recipes- it has pureed white bean and is the bomb!!)

Meat-eater's dinner (aka my husband): Steak, triple-stuffed potato, asparagus, sauteed onions, and a horseradish sauce. Inspired by all of the cooking, my husband devised his own herb steak rub.

Kids' cooking project, aka Dessert: Brownies. My husband wanted to make these with the kids, which was so cute. We had them with fresh strawberries, which were so sweet that they were gobbled before we remembered to take a picture. Always the creative thinker, my daughter suggested using a plastic strawberry from her play kitchen to use in the picture. ;)
