-homemade potato salad or pasta salad
-grilled veggies

-penne with pesto sauce
-fresh mozzarella, tomato, with EVOO and balsamic vinegar on top.

lots of grilled fish ( snapper, bronzino, or whatever is on sale )

grilled squid with grilled veggies ( eggplant, radicchio, endives, tomatos , zucchini, mushrooms)

lamb burgers stuffed with feta inside. when you bite into it its all goooey and deelish.


and of course lobsters.


all i use to season for every recipe is salt, pepper, oregano, garlic. for grilled fish i have it cleaned,butterflied at the store so all i do when i get home is rinse, pat dry- salt pepper oregano, and on the inside i put slices of lemon and fresh herbs-usually thyme) and put a ton of olive oil inside and out.

The skinny sausage (pork, turkey, chicken, lamb whatever kind) that's shaped like a huge pinwheel, pasta with zucchini or asparagus and a tomato salad. It's our go-to meal in the summer. If I make this in the winter DH and I say "ahhhh, tastes like summer".
