Hot and Cold Summer Salads

Sirloin Steak and Corn Salad

Chicken Salad Meal for $9.31

Monday July 7, 2008
My Got $10? Make a Meal! series continues with one of the easiest and most delicious summer recipes ever: Caesar Chicken Salad. I love the combination of hot grilled chicken with cold crisp lettuce, a rich dressing, and crunchy croutons. It's paired with a super easy cold soup and some of the best brownies.

Top Ten Indoor Grill Recipes

Sunday July 6, 2008
Sometimes it's just too hot to grill outside. Right now it's 85 degrees, which doesn't sound too bad, until you add in the 72 degree dew point, which translates to 70 percent humidity! It's like a steam bath out there, which means that the meal I was going to cook on my new outdoor grill is being prepared in the air conditioning, on my George Foreman dual contact grill. That prompted this list of the best indoor grill recipes, including Southwest Pork Tenderloin. Stay cool!
