Dinner Al Fresco

A great way to get outside and enjoy the new springtime air is to eat dinner al fresco. We love to prep everything before so that when it’s time to grill we can enjoy more time outside without going back in the house. A simple and fast al fresco meal to cook is Mahi-Mahi with grilled veggies and mushrooms. All you have to simply rub down a cut of Mahi (or any other fish) with mumbo jumbo everyday and place on the grill. Grill the fish until it’s easy to cut with a fork. For the sides, simply cut zucchini and squash into strips, rub them down with olive oil and sprinkle with mumbo jumbo everyday and place on the grill. I usually grill them for just a few minutes on each side or until you get some nice grill marks on them. For the mushrooms, I usually use the side burner on the grill and saute them with garlic, salt and pepper. And that’s it! All you need now is some good company, candle’s and a great bottle of wine. Dinner al fresco mumbo jumbo style!

Frogtown Wine with grilled seabass and veggies

Spring has arrived and the weather is gorgeous. Everyone is looking for a good reason to get outside and soak up the sun after a cold winter, “for Georgia anyway”.  My favorite getaway is to head up to Frogtown Winery in North Georgia and enjoy a bottle of Viognier. Frogtown’s wine’s are fantastic and the grounds are beautiful. It’s a great place to get away from the city and relax. Frogtown Winery closes at 5:00 so you should be finishing up just in time to get back home and grill out with some friends or a loved one. My personal favorite is enjoy a bottle of Frogtown’s Viognier with a some grilled seabass and veggies. All you have to do is get a good cut of seabass rub it down with a little olive oil, sprinkle mumbo jumbo elegance on it, wrap it in tin foil and bake it on the grill until you can cut it with a knife. On the side I like to get some zucchini and squash, cut them in strips, rub them down with olive oil and sprinkle mumbo jumbo everyday on it. You can place the veggie strips directly on the grill until you get some nice grill marks on both sides. Through together a side salad and you have a complete meal that will pair perfectly with one of your favorite Frogtown wines.
