Too Hot to Cook...But It's Got To Be Done

The official lazy days of summer have hit me BIG TIME!  I'm finding it hard to do anything, especially cook.  Even worse, it is so miserably hot that I cringe at the mere mention of turning on my oven.  That's where I was at about an hour ago when I was pondering supper.  That is, until an idea struck me!

My sister gifted me a Pampered Chef Grill Basket for my birthday last week AND I just went to the store and scored some really awesome looking peppers-red, yellow and green!  Why oh why didn't I think to pick up mushrooms, because this marinade is THE BEST for them.

Anyway, my sister came up with this amazing marinade that she used with veggies a couple of weeks ago and I'm trying it on my steak tonight, too.  Stay tuned...

Marinade

2 TBSP lemon juice
3 TBSP soy sauce
2 TSP brown sugar
2 TBSP olive oil
1 clove garlic

Mix all together in a plastic bag until sugar dissolves.

For the veggies, I used red, yellow and green peppers, an onion fresh out of the garden, and curse me Perry the Platypus but I had no mushrooms to add to the mix.  Yes, the kids are having a hard time with the lazy summer days, too, hence we have lots of Phineas and Ferb!

I am just about as excited as my lazy body can get about supper tonight because these veggies are amazing grilled.  I could actually care less about the meat, which for me, is unusual!  I'm sure you could make kabobs out of this as well, but my grill basket is just a little lazier side step, so I'm going for that!

Man, I feel like a slug...
