Chicken breasts pounded thinly and sliced summer squash would also be good.

Yep, we set up tents in our backyard and had a blast. With gas prices as high as they are and daddy still not feeling 100%, we decided to stay home and have as much fun as possible.
We set up tents, picked up a small grill and made the most of... Read MoreVanilla Snowballs
