Summer Meal for My Loved Ones

My dad and his wife were in town for a visit this past weekend.  It’s been almost a year since we’ve had a nice long visit with them, and it was wonderful to see them.  The kids were so thrilled to see their grandparents, and the Daddy Monkey and I were thrilled to be offered a much-needed night out.

After several days of eating out, I offered to cook a meal for everyone.  I do love cooking for a crowd (even if it is a crowd of only six)!  I decided to make my famous chimichurri sauce.
