As much as I love heat, there are days when I wish I had a temperature control in my yard. It's been down right toasty for several weeks now and I think I have permanent hose marks on my legs.
On the plus side, my vegetables are loving it. That includes my herb garden and, in particular, the Mediterranean herbs. So I'm going to embrace the weather and treat myself to a warm weather feast - it's Mexican Barbecue week, for me.
Our Guide to Herb Gardens, Amy Jeanroy, gets the ball rolling with the 6 Best Herbs for Mexican Cooking. Then I turned to our Barbecue Guide, Derrick Riches, for a lesson in the Mexican Grill. I have my mesquite ready to burn, all I need now are some recipes. Derrick starts me off with a Mexican Marinade that can go on just about any type of meat or vegetable. To keep things simple and summery, I also turned to the Cooking for Kids Guide, (hey, we're all kids in the summer), and came away with Stephanie's easy recipes for Mexican Salsa and Taco Salad. Now I'm off to pick hot peppers.
