Hey, hey, hi! Happy Saturday!
Stopping in for a special post today to share a new favorite cookbook of mine, Lexi’s Clean Kitchen! If you guys are unfamiliar with Lexi and her blog, Lexi’s Clean Kitchen, I highly recommend you familiarize yourselves by heading on over and taking a look, you’ll love what you see! Lexi creates incredible recipes and they all have a healthy spin, perfect right? She just recently released her first cookbook and it’s simply amazing. Packed full of one hundred and fifty delicious paleo-friendly recipes, there’s everything from cozy breakfasts, to on-the-go lunches, to sweet treats. So a little of everything, and a little something for everyone.
When flipping through the pages of Lexi’s cookbook, I came across so many recipes that I’d honestly love to make. However, her recipe for Mediterranean Grilled Lamb Kebabs is one that really stood out. I almost never cook lamb, and oddly one of my goals for 2017 is to try to cook with more lamb, it’s such a healthy meat. Clearly, this recipe was a must make and it surely did not disappoint. The secret is all in the marinade, which is a mix up of all my favorite mediterranean flavors: parsley, marjoram, olive oil, lemon juice and lots of garlic! <–YUM.
The meat marinates for a bit and is then grilled to perfection along with bell peppers and red onions. And guys, seriously, why is food on a stick always just so much more fun? I think it’s the whole finger food thing.
I know that we are still a bit a way from spring, but that doesn’t mean we can’t break out our grill pans and pretend warmer weather is here, right? Ahh right, as snow quietly falls outside my window…
Speaking of the snow, I hope you guys have fun plans for the weekend. I’m headed out of town for work on Monday, so I’m cramming in a bit of computer time today, but hoping to spend some time outside too!
