I am just so ready for summer! School is officially out around here and I’m full of good intentions for making this the best summer ever. Of course, for me, those summer ideals are full of all sorts of backyard parties I’m going to host and what recipes I can serve up at all those parties. I even hit up Target already and bought all the cute summer party items. Now if I can just get my lawn under control I’ll be ready!

No grill? No problem. You can easily make this recipe indoors on a grill pan or in a heavy skillet. Just add a little oil into the pan to prevent sticking.
