I received 3 great cookbooks just in time for summer.

Weber’s On the Grill Chicken and Sides:

This book has over 100 delicious recipes for chicken and all the great sides that go with it.  I tried out an easy recipe, and side first.

Chicken Rub:

• 4 tsp granulated onion
• 4 tsp granulated garlic
• 1 tbsp kosher salt
• 2 tsp chili powder
• 2 tsp. ground black pepper

****This was very good a little to spicy, but very good and simple to make. My family was very impressed by it.

Steak and Sides:

Over 66 steak recipes from kabobs to filet mignon.

This book has a lot of great recipes,  I thought i’d share a wonderful side I made.

Glazed Sweet Potatoes:

• Grated zest of 2 limes
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/4 canola oil
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 sweet potatoes

Directions:

1. Prepare grill for direct cooking over medium heat(350-450)
2. In a small glass or stainless steel bowl, whisk the glaze ingredients. Peel the sweet potatoes, trim the ends, and cut each potato into 1/2 inch slices. Brush the potatoes on both sides with glaze.
3. grill potatoes over medium heat, with lid closed, until easily pierced with knife, 15-20 minutes. brush them with glaze about every 5 minutes. remove and serve warm.

****these were very good and easy to make. The problem was that they burned very easily, and they fell through the grill plates.
