Mother's Day Dinner

I decided to make something light for dinner for Mom as we had already had a pretty heavy lunch. So, I limited it to kebabs, sangria and some cheese and crackers.

Sangria:
Cut up fruit- I used lemons, oranges, and some pears.
One bottle of red wine, in this case chianti
One can of diet ginger ale
Two packets of Splenda

From right to left, drunken goat cheese with whole grain crackers. Then sweet potato crisps with goat cheese and smoked salmon. I thought that the goat cheese would be too plain by itself so I mixed in some herbs de provence (savory, marjoram, rosemary, basil, thyme, lavender, and sage).

Kebabs- standard issue.

I did a white wine glaze on the chicken and used some of the chianti to glaze the beef while they were on the grill. Salt, pepper, garlic powder done!
