BBQ Sunday

Annie and I invited her parents over for lunch on Sunday because they had just returned from vacation in Michigan and I was positive they didn't want to cook.




Our menu plan was BBQ chicken, BakedBree's Tortellini Salad, fruit salad and broiled asiago coated tomatoes, fresh from the garden.

The chicken was simple. We used Stubbs BBQ sauce, only because we wanted a change from the standard Sweet Baby Rays. I just let it sit in the sauce for a couple hours then grilled until cooked throughly. Unlike Annie's Dad, I like to grill chicken til it is done, and no longer. He is a 45 minute griller for everything.







It was pretty good, but I'll likely return to SBRs after this jar is gone.

The tortellini salad was mad for us when Annie and I were in Michigan and is the reason we read BakedBree's blog. We omitted the olives and added fresh basil from the garden but it was still really tasty.




Annie's mom brought the fruit salad, many of the things were a part of the green bean delivery bin this week.

She also made the asiago coated tomatoes that were broiled shortly. I'm not sure where the recipe is from--maybe Cooking Light, but fresh tomatoes slightly warmed with golden brown asiago cheese and breadcrumbs really hit the spot.




All in all the meal was a hit. The llama stamp of approval is given to all of the dishes today.
