[Kätzchen]

We are entertaining guests from out of town tonight, so my sweetheart is smoking salmon steaks and beef ribs, then BBQ-ing them closer to supper time.

I prepared a baby spring leaf green salad and homemade creamy, cracked pepper garlic salad dressing.

I am also making Zucchini Boats (yummy!):

What you do is trim and halve large zucchini squash, then carefully scoop out the soft midsection of seeds. Then carefully dice up baby Crimini mushrooms and fill each zucchini boat with the diced mushrooms. Then spoon your favorite tomato-basil sauce over the mushrooms and sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese over each prepared zucchini boat.

You can bake them in the oven for about 20 minutes, until they are done. Or, like I do for a BBQ, I put them on the top part of the grill, on heavy foil, and close the grill to BBQ them for about the same amount of time (approx. 20 minutes).
