Cilantro Lime Shrimp and Plum Kebabs
These quick and easy shrimp kebabs make a great summertime meal on the grill. The fruit, citrus and jalapeno make a tangy and zesty combination.
Bacon Lettuce and Tomato Sandwich
The classic BLT is a bacon, lettuce and tomato combination. One of my favorite sandwiches, a BLT is one of those great flavor and texture combinations where the ingredients were just meant to go together.
The classic BLT is great all by itself. This recipe suggests a few slices of avocado as an optional addition for something a little extra and delicious. With the avocado, we would have to call this version a BLTA.
