Mediterranean Grill Party!

It’s hard to believe that my little man is growing up so fast! He’s now 3 months old (seriously, where did the time go?!) and to celebrate and introduce our little one to family and friends, my husband and I threw a party… a ‘meet the baby’ gathering, if you will. Since we love throwing a party with some kind of food theme, we fired up the grill for a Mediterranean Grill Party!…

Mediterranean cuisine is a perfect choice during the summer. Aside from grilling some of the dishes on our menu, it’s on the healthy side and so colorful on the table. Here’s the menu I prepared (with some help from my husband)… stay tuned and check back for the recipes of these dishes all this week!

    Wow, every single thing on your menu looks so good. I can't pick just one thing I want to try making, although the orzo salad with roasted vegetables is catching my eye at the moment.

    I happened onto your site by accident. WOW what a happy accident. Your Mediteranian Grill Party gave me the perfect ideas and menu for my almost daughter-in laws b-day dinner. We both love Greek food and this will be perfect. I am not usually a blogger, but had to tell you how much I love your site. Happy Belated B-day to your beautiful son. I will be back.
    Thanks so much for your energy!
