Honey-Lime Marinated Grilled Chicken

Honey-Lime Marinated Grilled Chicken

I’m completely torn.  I love this time of year, I look forward to the cool nights and all the amazing holidays about to be celebrated but I also feel sad.   I always feel like something beyond everyone’s favourite time of year is over.  Am I alone here?  With that said I must point out that as a proud Canadian my family barbecues year round, even in a blizzard.  So as I reflect on my amazing summer I do take solace in the fact that I’ll probably be eating this dinner next February 🙂
