And boy are we glad. Nothing like not using your oven to keep your cool. This is a great marinade that you can freeze with the meat. Just thaw in your fridge and grill til the charcoal can't take any more....
Lemon-Garlic Marinade good for 1 1/2 lb
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 clove of garlic cut up small
1 T salt and pepper
1 t. ground cumin
Whisk together and marinade for at least 30 min if you are not freezing
Happy Grilling!

Budget Help
For all of you cash-strapped cooks out there, we would like to spread some of our magic your way. No gimmicks or running to 80 different stores to save 50 cents for us, these are just simple, easy to follow tips.
First, always focus on the cost of your meat. This will make or break the cost of your meal, so take your time before you buy. When you see a good price, stock up and then remember to use it!
Second, try to use what you already have. No one benefits (especially your budget) when items are in your pantry or deep freeze for years.
Many grocery stores have a special area for produce that is almost bad. These items work great when chopped, washed and frozen.
When we are careful with our money, it can benefit more people than you can even realize. You can do it!!

4 carrots chopped
4 celery stalks chopped
1/2 onion chopped
