Summer is here, it’s my favourite season and unfortunately always seems like the shortest one. All the more reason to live it up though, right?
This summer I am celebrating my favourite season #SummerSideUp with Egg Farmers of Canada. #SummerSideUp is about taking on summertime entertainment and turning it on its head with amazing, creative egg-inspired recipes, and enjoying them with friends and family. What better way to celebrate the season than to get out of your hot kitchen and out cooking on your BBQ?
Celebrate the season #SummerSideUp with me by including only the best ingredients, including fresh, local and high quality Canada Grade A eggs found at a store near you. The next step is to get creative and it’s really easy to get creative with Eggs as they are so incredibly versatile and also happen to be the most naturally nutritionally complete food available. They really are the perfect ingredient to inspire your inner chef and get you experimenting in the kitchen, or better yet on the grill!
I was inspired to recreate this fabulous Eggs.ca recipe for Portobello Mushrooms on my own grill. Usually I end up changing every recipe I come across to the point where its unrecognizable but this recipe looked so great as is that the only change I made was to swap the black pepper for a little bit of thyme. Mmmm .. talk about #SummerSideUp!
