Sunday at the Beach

Yesterday, we went to the South Blvd Beach. It is only 5 minutes from our house. It is so nice to go there, but I never, I repeat, NEVER get into the lake. Lake Michigan is too cold for this southern girl. We came home and I grilled organic Chicken Drummettes from Whole Foods. I put salt and pepper on them and coated them with leftover Chimichurri sauce that we had the night before. They were wonderful. We both ate about eight of them. I served it with a sliced tomato, cucumber, and avocado salad. Perfect paleo dinner.

Recipe for Chimichurri (great with grilled meat).

-Chimichurri is an Argentinian sauce that is often served with grilled meat

Good handful of each: fresh parsley, oregano, and mint.
Two cloves of garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
Extra Virgin Olive oil (until loose, between 1/4 and 1/2 cup)
Splash of red wine vinegar or juice of one lemon
1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes

Place herbs, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a blender or food processor. Pulse several times to break things up. Then slowly stream in EVOO until the sauce is loose. Then add a splash of acid. Taste and add salt and pepper as preferred. It is wonderful on vegetables or grilled meats.
