I won't be going to the Mediterranean anytime soon, but I do enjoy eating as if I'm there. Fresh native tomato, grilled eggplant and mozzarella napoleons. I used the rosemary as a skewer to keep it stacked and pretty and then sprinkled them with extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar and shredded sweet basil.
Delicious Greek marinated chicken breast. Yum! The marinade is simple and easy. I use one bottle of Christy's Greek Salad Dressing, chopped fresh Greek oregano, two cloves minced garlic and a few tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Marinate all day,throw it on the grill and you're done. A Mediterranean inspired meal you will love.
If you have a minute please pop-over to my niece Katie's blog.Kate's Happening. Katie is brand new to blogging and would love some new visitors. Thanks so much friends.

Love anything greek! The eggplant/tomato looks like a wonderful summer dinner. I will need to wait to grill the chicken. It is too hot to even fire up the grill. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and yummy looking food !
ReplyDeleteWow what a good idea to use Rosemary as skewers. I wish I had thought about that before I ripped mine out. It had these weird bugs on it that now I find out if you scape them off and cook them you and make red dye. Who knew. :)
ReplyDeleteI really like your chicken and I need to try that too, I have about six more eggplant to pick. :)
yum yum ....double yum.... and triple yum.....

How did you get the stacks to fit together so perfectly? I have to try to make them, I could just eat them for my entire meal.
ReplyDeleteThey do look pretty! Very pretty. And delicious.
ReplyDeleteMy mouth is watering from thinking about your delicious food. The marinated chicken would be great as is or I might cut it into chunks and serve over a green salad. Thanks for the ideas. Shannon

The simple pleasures of a Mediterranean diet which I sincerely hope you will enjoy in Italy one day and even visit a Notte Bianca.
ReplyDeleteBy the way I am going to try the grilled peaches with chocolate and ice cream sometime, naughty but nice.
Love your idea of using rosemary as a skewer to keep your sandwich stacked. Brilliant! Have you ever used it as a skewer on the bbq? We tried that once and it worked great, too.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious - and easy! I'm still a novice cook so this sounds like it is right up my alley. Thanks for the tips! :)
