Father’s Day is right around the corner and it is a very special day around here: my husband’s 1st Father’s Day! Our little guy will be 9 months old this weekend and we are looking forward to celebrating the day as a family of 3. If my husband had his way, we would grill all year round. Since I do the cooking, he has dish duty and as we all know grilling means less mess!
Lamb and rosemary are a classic combination. This recipe is very simple but full of flavor. Grilling Tip: Whenever you are grilling meat, let it come to room temperature before putting it on the hot grill. If you place cold meat directly from the refrigerator on to a scorching hot grill the meat will shrink.
‘Nuff said. Happy Father’s Day everyone!
Your fork is waiting.
