Yummy Memorial Day1
Earlier today Kyle and I realized that it was Memorial Day so we decided to have a little barbeque. We made portabella burgers and corn on the cob. I made a marinade with garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper and olive oil. I also made basil mayonnaisse with a little bit of garlic and lemon juice. We topped the burgers with pepperjack cheese, red onion, tomatoes and lettuce. They were juicy and delicious.
For dessert I made delicious barbequed fruit. I chopped up some pineapple, apples, peaches and bananas, put them on skewers and sprinkled a little bit of sugar over them. We put them on our barbeque and then I glazed them with a honey-lime glaze (about 5 tablespoons of honey and 1 or 2 squirts of lime juice). They were heavenly! The bananas tasted like toasted marshmallows! I’m not kidding! They are a great alternative for marshmallows (since marshmallows are made with gelatin). I bet it would be delicious to toast bananas over a fire and eat them with chocolate and graham crackers. I know it sounds absurd but I bet it would be great!
Mmm, do we have any left?
