Tomato Quiche
This delicious tomato quiche is a combination of a couple of recipes that I've made before. It's easy to prepare, looks great, and has lots of lovely basil flavor!
Grilled Lamb Loin Chops
Try this recipe for lamb loin chops packed with maximum flavor. For best results, try to use 1-inch-thick loin chops. These are best served medium to medium-rare, but add a few extra minutes per side if you prefer them a little more done.
Maple-Glazed Grilled Carrots
These grilled carrots have a lovely sweet and smoky caramelized flavor, and are a nice change of pace at a summer cookout or dinner party. Use carrots that are no larger than 3/4-inch thick, or cut larger carrots in half lengthwise for even cooking. One pound should yield 6 to 8 medium carrots.
