This is the starter to the dinner Bob and I had last Saturday night. We are trying to take advantage of the weather by eating outside whenever possible. Plus, we just wanted to sit and look at our labors of love in the garden. Bob planted four new rose bushes Saturday (I know it's not the season) and our tomato plants are doing nicely. Did I mention that we really did plant a vegetable garden that weekend? We now have 12 tomato plants, zucchini, bell pepper, jalapeno, green leaf lettuce, arugula, and about 7 different herbs growing! That's why we had to sit outside.

We had watermelon martinis and guacamole to start, and for something easy we grilled one of our favorite pick up dinners. You absolutely must try the Pollo Asado from Sprouts. It doesn't seem to have the traditional marinade but more of a smokey delicious flavor. We make very simple burritos by grilling onions (in cast iron skillet) then cooking chicken in same pan. The only thing we add is whatever guacamole is left and cilantro. I of course don't have pictures of the dinner but I do have them of the onions!

We cut the onions in 1/2" slices and cook at high temp to get a roasted flavor but still have firmness.
