Summer Cooking
Anna Marie of The Unilever Consumer Kitchens on keeping meals quick, delicious and affordable.
Summer’s here — which means outdoor meals, barbecues and backyard entertaining are in full swing.
Start by taking advantage of supermarket and roadside bargains on vibrant fresh fruit and vegetables. And don’t forget those great sales on corn-on-the-cob, which everyone loves.
Throughout the summer your local supermarket will also run great savings on boneless chicken breasts, top-round (London broil) steak, even hot dogs and hamburgers. So stock up and keep supplies in your freezer — you’ll be set for any last-minute grilling. Try using our Wish-Bone® Marinade Italiano recipe for an easy way to grill succulent, flavorful chicken, steak and even pork. And don’t fret if you’ve forgotten to marinate the meal ahead of time — instead “flash marinate.” Simply coat the chicken, steak or pork with the Italian dressing, then baste frequently during grilling to get the maximum flavor.
You can keep the meal really simple by serving the grilled entrée with a mixed green salad that has lots of fixin’s. Or you can serve thinly sliced chicken or steak on grilled rolls, with toppings such as shredded cheeses, salad greens, arugula and plum or beefsteak tomatoes — mix it up — depending on the crowd and your budget.
So, don’t let high gas prices and inflated grocery bills keep you from having fun. Keep it simple, buy on-sale items and have fun cooking some great summer foods!
