Grilled Burritos

I had never made grilled burritos before, but this seemed like a fun way to mix up the normal Mexican food routine.  If you like crispy shells then you'll love this.  As with all Mexican, feel free to play around with the fillings and substitute your favorite meats, vegetables, or toppings.

Yield: 8 burritos (4 servings)

Asparagus, Bacon, and Blue Cheese Frittata

I must admit that I was so excited to try this that I just made it for dinner one day instead of breakfast.  I can attest to the fact that it tastes good any time of day.

Yield: 4 servings

Mango Lemonade

Fresh mango lemonade is a refreshing drink for a hot, summer afternoon.

Yield: 5 servings

Banana Split Bites

These can be made ahead and then prepped in five minutes before serving, which makes it great when you're having company over.  Especially if there are some kids.

Yield: 14 bites (4-5 servings)

Lemon Marinated Chicken

I made this to take my new grill on its maiden voyage, and boy did the chicken turn out well.  The flavor was clear but not overpowering, and the chicken was juicy and moist.  Overall, I couldn't ask for more on a test-run with a new grill.
