Honey BBQ Chicken and a Book Review

Woohoooo, it's grilling season!!!  I love summer meals.  During the Fall and Winter, we eat a lot of stews, soups, roasts, pastas, and casseroles.  Come Spring and Summer our tastes and meals get lighter. Meats are grilled and placed onto salads or served with sides of garden fresh vegetables.

Blue Cheese Sauce to put on that Steak you are Grilling Up to Pair with a Malbec Wine #WorldWineTravel

This sauce is sooooo good that I had to stop myself from eating it with a spoon so that there was enough left for guests to enjoy with their steaks.  Sweet Vidalia onion caramelized in butter and then combined with Blue Cheese and Cream for a decadent, savory sauce.

A sauce this creamy and delicious demands a strong wine and this Malbec from Argentina was up to the task.......

Chimi Burger #EattheWorld

In the Dominican Republic they call their burgers Chimichurri, not to be confused with the condiment served in Argentina.  The name is the same but these burgers known casually as a Dominican Chimi Burger are all about the sauce and the toppings.
