Summer Squash Skewers

I posted this onto Simple City Life last week..thought I would share it here too! 

I love summer time grilling;) 

Summer Squash Skewers 
3 small squash
1 small zucchini
1 green pepper
2 TB olive or grapeseed oil ( I used Grape Seed Oil with Natural Butter Flavor from Wildtree)
1 TSP of chopped chives
1 TSP of chopped dill
1 TSP of garlic seasoning ( I used Garlic Galore Seasoning Blend from Wildtree)
Salt and Pepper to season

Cut up the squash and  green peppers and tossed them with oil, lime juice garlic seasoning and salt and pepper. Threw in chives and dill and let them sit for about 30 min to an hour.

Then skew the squash  and put them on the grill for about 15 minutes.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I think Valentine's day has readily become my favorite holiday. It has a bit  to do with the romance aspect, but if I am honest, most of it is because I get to embrace my girlishness and have an excuse to take photos of hearts, write sappy cards, buy flowers for the Peddlers daughter and eat lots of candy, all for the sake of love.

 Even in my single days, I secretly loved it, I was not one of those girls who was annoyed when the day came around (I just acted indifferent) but deep inside I would get excited for this day. I love all the colors-red, pink, purple, seeing all the people bustle about to buy flowers, watching my friend's kids come home from school with a homemade container full of Valentine's. To me it doesn't matter if you are single or in a relationship this day should be celebrated by everyone, a day to tell your parents they mean the world to you or take a friend coffee.

 I am also fond of this day because the Peddler and I had our first date in Las Vegas on this day of love...(yeah talk about an awkward first date) Have you ever been to Vegas on Valentine's day? It is a lot of pressure for 2 people who are in the new born stages of their relationship. But even as cheesy as it is I love that we can look at this day and smile knowing that it marks the moment of something amazing!

I made this Valentine on Picnik. So sad it is closing down.
