Rise and Shine is my way of sitting down and having a cup of coffee with you! We talk about the new deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help us save time, money or energy.
Good morning! Today should be another beautiful day here in the Northwest with temperatures as high as 86 degrees here in Olympia. Yesterday was so beautiful we even pulled out the sprinkler and the kids had a glimpse of summer just around the corner. The chickens also loved the sunshine and were running around the yard, as well. We grilled vegetables and those clearance brats I picked up a couple weeks ago!
Here are some grilling recipes if you’re feeling like getting outside! What’s your favorite thing to grill?
Grilled Stuffed Zucchini recipe – bacon, mushrooms, parmesan.
Grilled vegetables and couscous
Grilled strawberries with balsamic vinegar and sugar recipe
Grilled corn, avocado, tomato salad recipe
Grilled Honey Teriyaki Chicken recipe
Grilled Halibut with Lemon and Capers recipe
Grilled Thai New York Steak with lime sauce
Grilled pizza, with homemade dough recipe!
So Mother’s Day is just around the corner – May 11. Are you planning anything special for your mom? I’d love some ideas!
