This sounds awesome! You know what else I do? I squeeze lime juice into melted butter and brush it on veggies that I grill outside. Yum!
Thanks for stopping by!
Your tip reminds me of something I heard is good, but never have tried...rolling your chicken in powdered margarita mix before grilling...
