Dinner: Grilled Chicken, Caprese Salad, Tortillas & Fresh Squeezed Watermelon/Orange Juice

Tonight we enjoyed the perfect summer dinner, utilizing a lot of the items from our weekly CSA box. As we cooked, we snacked on orange pepper slices. The chicken breasts marinated in a zip lock bag with olive oil, garlic, balsamic and salt. We made a similar mixture to toss with our heirloom tomatoes, basil and fresh mozzarella. Dylan did his typical number outside on the grill (actually I went outside too when the Sea World fireworks started - we can see them from our back deck) He came back in fifteen minutes later with perfectly cooked chicken, and I plated the salad, warmed the tortillas and squeezed the oranges and watermelons for the juice. This dinner went extremely well with the dose of warm weather we're experiencing. Tomorrow is supposed to be upper 80's at the beach - I plan to fill up the kiddie pool for some afternoon splashing with C.
