Asparagus

• hollandaise sauce packet:
• 1 cup of milk
• ¼ cup of margarine/butter

Corn on the Cob

1.    Prepare the turkey burgers and marinate in Dale’s sauce 20-30 minutes before you get started with the grill

2.    Peel shrimp and stick them on the skewers, sprinkle blackening season on top

3.    Start boiling water in a saucepan and then add your eggs. Leave them boiling for 15-20 minutes

4.    Go ahead and prepare your salad next for those of you who eat it first before the meal. Your guests will appreciate the timing. Mix the greens, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes and then toss it with the dressing.

5.    Whisk hollandaise sauce mix and 1 cup milk in small saucepan. Add 1/4 cup margarine or butter and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened. For a lower fat sauce, feel free to use non-fat milk.

6.    Pre-boil the corn so it grills relatively fast (10-15 minutes) Wrap the corn in tin foil before you start grilling it.

TIME TO FIRE UP THE GRILL

If you don’t have access to a grill, the burgers and shrimp can be pan seared on the stovetop, and all the veggies can be boiled or pan seared also.

1.    Burgers should be grilled 10-15 minutes, flipped occasionally of course, don’t forget this. Add cheese once you take them off the grill.

2.    The shrimp cooks very quickly so put it on late and flip occasionally.

3.    Add the corn (pre-wrapped) 10 more minutes

4.    Asparagus is great on the grill, let it set for about 3-4 minutes on each side.

**Just make sure as you multi-task and grill these things all at once that you pay attention to each thing and flip/rotate them enough so they don’t burn. Simple J

When you get back inside with all your awesome cooked veggies and meats, you can whip up the deviled eggs really quick.

1.    They are already boiled, so drain them in the sink and add ice water so they peel easily.

2.    Crack the shells gently, peel the eggs and then cut each of them evenly in half.

3.    Hollow out the yolks into a bowl and add a little bit of mayo and a little bit of relish. Don’t overdo the mayo because you can always add more but you can easily ruin your batch with too much.

4.    Stir it all together and then add more of mayo/relish if needed. Spoon the mix back into the eggs and top them off with a little paprika. Yum Yum

Now your meal is complete. When you make your awesome plate, don’t forget to top off the aparagus with some hollandaise sauce. This meal is perfect for holidays like July 4^th/ Labor Day/ Memorial Day. Super bowl is coming up Sunday, great occasion to grill this up.

From my kitchen to yours, Enjoy!
