food of the week: kebabs + strawberry juice

here is a recipe of how to make summer dinners lovely.

start by using a grill to get tasty, summery food that you can only eat during this season (at least when you live in the midwest)

add some fresh herbs from the garden. let them be your inspiration of what you will be cooking.

finish by putting fresh flowers on the table!

grilling + herbs + flowers = great summer meal. especially if eaten outdoors!

so, if you haven't noticed... grilling still going on at our house. it just doesn't get old when you can find so many recipes that provide such variety!  it is great. mix in all of the great herbs from our garden. so far this summer we have only had the same thing once (that the thing we repeated was just a side salad.. you know that corn one i loved!).

kebabs are what we have been doing as of lately. they are easy, flavorful. and pretty good! this one here was our favorite recipe as of lately

beef kebabs

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 small yellow onion grated
2 garlic cloves grated
1/4 pepper diced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. sea salt
ground pepper

sauce:
1/2 cup sour cream (or plain yogurt would work! i thought of this after)
1 freshly squeezed lime or lemon

heat the grill to medium high. combine all ingredients. divide the mixture into six equal parts. then between palms of hands, form each portion into 4 1 inch pattys. put the 4 pattys onto a skewer. grill until meet is browned.

add this with the corn salad. you will have a great meal!

2-3 lemons

put into juicer and enjoy!
