IT'S GRILLING TIME!!!
Takes you back to some wonderful memories of cookouts with friends and family, pool parties, vacation, and good times!
What's not to love about hanging out by the grill? You can almost taste the food before the spatula gets under it and puts it on your plate!
It's not always the burgers though....my fave these days is chicken blackened with our BADASS BEACH BABE BLACKENING BLEND!
Just like it says on our website - Our BADASS BEACH BABE BLACKENING BLEND is that solid powerhouse kitchen staple whether you're on vacay or at home! With a little shake (or twerk, lol), just sprinkle it on your faves this grilling season!
And.... since we're all trying to be a little healthier - we put the blackened chicken over spinach and some assorted veggies, then added some yummy bleu cheese dressing for a summer salad you'll want over and over for all of your cookouts this year!
BLACK, BLEU & BEACHY CHICKEN VEGGIE RICE SALAD
It's Simple and a little Spicy too... with a little kick of bleu! And a great alternative to burgers on the grill! Enjoy!

Blacken the chicken breasts on the grill, oven or stove top. (I often place chicken breasts in a baggie with olive oil then sprinkle our BADASS BEACH BABE BLACKENING BLEND over the chicken, making sure to coat thoroughly)
