Following our noses to the delicious smells of grilling, I love taking the family to one of our favorite family restaurants, LongHorn Steakhouse. The menu is just filled with everything grilled and delicious. Have you tried the new Spicy Grilled Jalapeno Sirloin yet? New for the summer, this hot and spicy dish features a jalapeno butter sauce and is topped with your very own grilled jalapeno. Feeling inspired by this feisty new steak, I knew pairing it with a Southwestern inspired zesty side dish would make this meal absolutely stellar!

So firing up the grill, I channeled my father’s grilling skills and our latest shared love…grilled corn. Corn grilled right on the BBQ is just amazing. How can I ever go back to boiling? In search for that perfect char, I discovered deliciousness. Here’s the Grilled Corn and Avocado Salad Recipe:
