Truth, lemons are a fairly new food group to me.
Sure, I have been drinking lemonade since I can remember, but other than that I can’t think of a time when I used lemons or knowingly consumed lemons.
I know that sounds so weird since lemons are probably one of the most used ingredients in all kitchens, but up until a year or so ago I never knew just how awesome lemons really were.
Also, I have seen all these awesome looking grilled lemons floating around in magazines and such, but when I go to grill mine, they turn out all funky looking. I mean really? What’s up with that?
Anyway, when I started to branch out, in terms of flavors and the dishes I was making, I realized that things like lemons, limes and herbs can make a HUGE difference. Meaning that they can MAKE a meal.
Mint is totally newish to me too. I definitely prefer it in savory dishes to sweet, but it can add just the right amount of coolness. Especially to a spicy dish.
These skewers definitely have a little kick to them so the minted goat cheese yogurt is the perfect touch. Everything about this meal is super simple, but simple is sometimes just soo good.
Switching gears.
You know what is so frustrating?
Town building departments and all their dang codes.
FYI, building codes totally suck.
Basically, they are telling me what I can and cannot do to the barn and it is so annoying.
So I had to get creative… maybe even a little sneaky, but it’s all gonna work out.
You’ll see soon!
Alright, that’s all for today. My mind is doing that thing where nothing creative or even remotely interesting is being produced. I think I need some drama or something to share.
Although, no drama is always good too.

As is grilling on a warm spring night… that is IF it happens to be warm, and not snowing where you are.
The layering of flavors in this recipe are so delicious and complex. My husband is always excited to eat any of your recipes that I make. Used the leftover lemon vinaigrette on a kale salad the next day, so darn good.
Hey Annette,

Any suggestions for substitutions if I don’t have chile de arbol seeds or a cayenne pepper?
