What's for dinner? London broil and grilled vegetables

Dinner from the grill

Grilled chicken thighs with homegrown and grilled eggplant. One slice topped with cilantro, olive oil, chili powder and salt. The other topped with jerk seasoning. In other news, my space bar broke and typing this is way too hard. Every "space" is pasted in...

What's for dinner? Mojo chicken & brussel sprouts

Mojo chicken, brussel sprouts with cayenne pepper and a homegrown heirloom tomato. These midsummer nights, when it stays light so late, these nights are perfect for grilling.  We're making the most of them; hope you are too.

What's for dinner? Meat and four

Dinner for two, grilled over charcoal in the backyard. Hanger steak, sweet potato and leeks from YDFM. Kale and arugula from our garden. Red wine from Trader Joes. 


Why this red meat and booze meal still counts as heart healthy:
1. Hanger steak is a comparatively leaner cut of beef. 
2. Sweet potatoes are a super food! They're high in: dietary fiber, vitamins, protein, iron and calcium. Kale is one of the healthiest vegetables around. And arugula is pretty good for you too.
3. And enjoyed in moderation, Red wine is still considered beneficial for hearth health (I say "still" because the reasons are debated).

 

Grilled Amberjack

Dinner from the grill

On Monday we picked our last two eggplants. Oliver paired them with Amber Jack and asparagus and threw it all on the grill. Simple, fairly fast and healthy. We ate in the backyard and enjoyed the cool autum weather.
