Maybe your
favorite place is right in your own back yard. Cleaning the BBQ grill is a
must. Now you’re ready for those great family, friends, or neighborhood
gatherings. Even a romantic dinner for two can be special at home in your yard
or patio this July. Send the children to Grandma and Grandpa’s for a night. It
will do wonders for a summer balmy evening together.
Start your
evening with a great summer cocktail or chilled white wine. Don’t forget a
candle or candle arrangement for that table center piece and to set the right
atmosphere. Next a salad served in halved pineapple, in each half; arrange six
chilled shrimp, 3 sliced strawberries, and a small scoop of crab meat drizzled
with a sweet bottled salad dressing of your choice. Enjoy the peace and quiet of the evening
together.
While the
grill is getting hot, dry rub two N.Y. Strip Steaks with Montreal Steak
Seasoning. Place the meat aside till grill is ready. In a bowl or plastic bag
put in one red, yellow & orange peppers cut in fourths. Also one large
sweet onion, one medium Zucchini and one small eggplant all cut into serving
size pieces. Pour ½ bottle of balsamic vinaigrette dressing over all and
marinate for 20 min.
One or two
large potatoes that have been partially boiled cut into fours. Rubbed with
garlic and olive oil. Place the veggies on med hot grill together using foil. Cover;
check for doneness every 15 min. Remove
when done to a warm plate and set aside.
Now for
those wonderful N.Y. Strips, place them
on the grill and cook to your desired temperature.
This is an
easy meal with little preparing time which leaves more time for romance. Add a great after dinner wine and sit back
together to watch the fireflies.
Save a
little energy for a great little desert later of cut up cold fruit with a
splash of a favorite dessert wine.
Enjoy your
summer and a romantic evening for two.
Keep
