Fresh Herb Sauces for Summer Grilling

August 11, 2015 · 3 Comments

Fresh Herb Sauces for Summer GrillingDuring summer, you’ll see me cooking outside and grilling. My signature vegetable dish has become a staple at home, with squashes, eggplant and peppers dressed in olive oil and plenty of fresh herbs. I often like to change the seasonings for both vegetables and fish, every time I make them. This yogurt dressing is refreshing for hot August days and pairs really well with vegetables and chicken, but my favorites have become these easy and light sauces I made last week. Fresh Herb Sauces for Summer GrillingGrilled corn is often a treat for us, and since I’m not much of a fan of just butter spread onto it, I decided to create a sauce that is everything summer should taste like. Something that is light, full of flavor and tastes good on any vegetable. For the grilled vegetables, I’ll let them marinate in this sauce before grilling, and simply just brush it onto the grilled corn cobs when they’re done. And the same goes for seafood – whole fishes, sardines, shrimp, clams…I’ll grill it all. My dad makes a killer garlic butter sauce for grilled octopus, and I wanted to recreate one that could be made quickly, and without having to turn on the stove.Fresh Herb Sauces for Summer Grilling Fresh Herb Sauces for Summer GrillingI put lemon on just about everything during the summer, it just adds a freshness and lightness to grilled dishes. Then there’s fresh herbs, the choices are endless, When blended with lemon juice and olive oil, fresh thyme tastes phenomenal on not only clams, but corn too! With a few dashes of siracha, it was the perfect amount of heat to bring all the flavors together. I tossed the grilled clams right into the lemon tarragon sauce as soon as they came off the grill, but you can use it to marinate shrimp or meat beforehand, then lightly coat the top once cooked. Even J couldn’t stop dipping his bread into the leftover sauce, so yes it tastes amazing with some toasted bread too!Fresh Herb Sauces for Summer Grilling Fresh Herb Sauces for Summer Grilling Fresh Herb Sauces for Summer GrillingAnd although, it seems like talks about fall is everywhere, I’m totally in the summer zone. After all we still have a month before school and regular work schedules start again, so enjoy it with some new and delicious summer recipes. There’s still plenty of barbecues and al fresco dinners to be enjoyed!Fresh Herb Sauces for Summer Grilling Fresh Herb Sauces for Summer Grilling Fresh Herb Sauces for Summer Grilling

This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chriss This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chrissyteigen recipe wouldn’t be considered traditional but it does celebrate the beautiful Thai flavors I love. I’ll take all the spice & lemongrass please🍜😋!! It’s certainly become a staple of mine, one I’ve recreated several times & I highly recommend you save in your back pocket because it will leave you craving more...& more!! 

I used to post lots of recipes on the blog ‘til weddings/events/design took center stage & hoping to do so more again. Get this recipe on the blog now!
I read something yesterday, that made me instantly I read something yesterday, that made me instantly stop & reflect..."Some people think that having Hope makes you naive, but in my mind, it's so much harder to choose Hope over being angry or frustrated..." As someone who considers herself quite a hopeful person, I've had this on my mind since. Let's not confuse Hope w. toxic positivity {in which negative feelings or hardships are pushed aside}, when there is Hope, we still acknowledge our worries, the drawbacks of life, the sadness but still know that there is good.

We've all been doing our best nearing a year into this pandemic; the lives lost, families broken, the uncertain long-term issues, jobs, livelihoods disrupted & most recently too many people to count, struggling after a natural disaster. My heart breaks & is w. all of you, but despite the darkness, what I've also seen during these trying times...is Hope & Love. Communities & strangers coming together to help one another however way they can, even when they too are struggling to get by. That right there, is Hope. Be gentle with yourself, be gentle w. those around you. We’re all doing the best we can🤍
