I think every weekend should be a 3 day weekend.
Nick worked on washing the cars while I cleaned inside the house and worked on laundry. It was a productive day!
I took a break and had a little snack.
I got these Probiotic Bars as a sample through OpenSky, and I love them! Nick’s tried all the flavors so far and really likes them, too. Look out for a full review soon – they’re really tasty and have a great ingredient list. They’re definitely being added to my shop, and soon!
Dinner tonight was almost all on the grill. I love meals that are completely grilled – it means less work inside!
One of the gifts in our anniversary packages the other day was this Tequila-Agave marinade from Williams-Sonoma.
Since we had good weather (and it was a holiday weekend), I decided we needed to break it out and get something on the grill tonight.
I poured half the bottle over some free range organic chicken thighs and Nick grilled them to perfection.
I love the I can read all the ingredients! It was delicious on the chicken.
We also had some grilled yellow squash (from our co-op this week) and some brown rice I mixed with lime juice and cilantro.
Along with a Corona + lime, it was the perfect summer meal.
We ate our dinner outside on the deck with Maggie and Roxy. Definitely the best way to end this weekend :)
I’ve got one last load of laundry to fold, and then I’m ready to relax!
PS: Did you know Emily and Allison are going vegan for the month of June? I’m thinking about it…but I need to do a little planning.
PPS: I made my Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble completely vegan yesterday, and it turned out even better than the first batch!
I used all agave in the fruit mix and subbed in soy-free Earth Balance for the butter/oil.
Hope you enjoyed your day – back to the grind tomorrow!

Summertime grilling is the best, isn’t it? That squash looks fantastic.
Good luck to all 3 of you (if you join the challenge)! Not sure I could live without my yogurt…. :)
I love being able to read all of the ingredients too. The ingredients of a product is one of biggest concerns I have when I go grocery shopping.
Vegan, agave sweetened strawberry rhubarb crumble? When can I come over? ;-)
Ha :) Anytime!
Three days weekends are the way to go, looks like you had an awesome one :-)
I did Vegan for a day earlier this year, and it was tough. If you do it, good luck.
This makes me wish I had a grill (or I should say, was allowed to have a grill) so badly! Dinner looks amazing; glad you had a fabulous weekend :)
I’m still getting used to the vegetarian thing so vegan would be a bit much right now. Although I’m headed that direction on accident.
But your food looks great. Do those probiotic bars have sugar in the or sugar alcohols?
What a great grilling evening! and that dessert! i need to try it!
A month vegan sounds like my kind of month…ha. I really like the sound of that tequila agave marinade. We had a veganized crumble tonight and no one seemed to tell the difference!
Wow, looks like all the food turned out great. I always like experimenting with different marinades!
I am a massive fan of marinades! That one sounds great!
Fabulous looking dinner!
That’s great you enjoyed your long weekend! :-)
I’m dying to buy a grill! But I am afraid I’ll burn my eyebrows off or something trying to operate it, haha.
That definitely looks like the perfect summer meal :)
