June 2016 Weeknight Dinner Ideas Part 3

Hi y’all!  It is hard to believe June is almost over!  Where is this Summer going?!?  After yet another week involving crazy work travel, I am happy to say I am back in the kitchen and not boarding a plane for over ten days! 

Back at home, I am continuing my quest to conquer the grill, and am finally making progress!  My small success includes not flame broiling the salt and pepper steak featured below.  Fingers crossed there are fewer charred meals in the weeks to come.  

OK, I am going to make this short and sweet.  As always, please let me know if you enjoyed any of the recipes featured below, and share my blog with your friends!
