The kids have been gone this week and so I've been pulling double-time at home trying to get through as much work as possible so that there's a little less juggling next week.

With my kids coming home tomorrow though (time has flown) I suddenly realized that the man and I hadn't used this opportunity to spend any quality time together. So, I took the morning off work. We enjoyed a lovely hand-in-hand stroll around a local lake and then ran a few errands together … that totally counts as a date, right? … before working together to create a delicious dinner.

The best part of date night at home and cooking together while the kids are gone is that we don't have to worry about meals being kid-friendly.

Cooking together means him grilling and me putting out side dishes. I love it when we can use a little teamwork and I don't have to spend that extra time in the kitchen standing over the stove.

Backyard grilling isn't just for meat, burgers, hot dogs and veggies, grill your dessert too and take your entire meal outdoors. This recipe is fantastic for warm summer nights especially if you don't have a backyard fire pit, and only requires four ingredients.
