Work was busy. Social life was busy. Yoga life was busy. Yard was neglected. Chores neglected. Bike was neglected. Alas.
And with temperatures being so warm, and us not having any kind of inside cooling system (not worth it for three days of the year), meals were pretty darn simple. Grilled corn and polish, salads, you get the idea.
One new recipe for the week:
Grilled Chicken with Honey-Chipolte BBQ Sauce (July 2013 Ckng Lght) gluten free
This was very simple to pull together and I would recommend doubling the "sauce". I had all the ingredients on hand except the chicken, and I couldn't find my "organic" chicken thighs this go around at the store so I used a whole cut-up chicken. It's not a spicy sauce, but it does have a nice "tang" to counter the sweetness of the ketchup and honey. I think this would also go great on grilled salmon or halibut.

The cooler temps sound much nicer. But any time is a good time to grill!
