Grilled Mahi-Mahi with Wild Rice Blueberry Pilaf

We are cooking our fish and seafood outdoors today for Fish Friday Foodie......

 I'm hosting our event this month.  When the heat starts to rise you can find me outside on my deck or in my pool, preferably with a good book.

So I asked the members of my group to join me in cooking their selection outdoors today.  Fish Friday Foodies is a group I started quite a few years ago.  We meet up on the third Friday of each month to share fish/seafood recipes based on a theme chosen by one of the members.   We love welcoming new bloggers to our group. Should you want to join us please just comment below with a link to your blog and I willl be happy to send you an invitation.

I'm anxious to see what everyone is sharing today.  How about you?.......

Grilled Mahi-Mahi with Wild Rice Blueberry Pilaf

I cooked this up one Friday night when the Teen was out with friends and Frank and I were able to sit on the deck, open a bottle of wine and relax for a bit.  It was a wonderful, summery meal.
