The summer doesn’t have to end with the official day of fall. We BBQ all year as it’s our go to for quick dinners. In fact I think we’re due for more propane right now! This summer we tested out some new sauces from Grace Kennedy and have now worked our way through the entire bottle of Jerk Marinade.

Grace’s line includes Jerk Seasonings, Sauces and Rubs, Pineapple and Coconut Grilling Sauces and Hot Pepper Sauces and they make grilling easy as you can simply marinade as per the label’s instructions, or head to www.gracekennedy.ca for more official recipes. The company started in Jamaica in 1922 as a small trading establishment and now offers full line of Caribbean inspired foods that include cooking sauces, seasonings, rice and beans, soup mixes and beverages such as sodas and juices.  Also coconut products, such as Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, Organic Coconut Sugar and Coconut Water.

We marinated the chicken for a couple hours in the Jerk Marinade and served it up with some grilled vegetables and coleslaw. Tasty and easy for a quick mid-week meal!

Yep, that’s Michael grilling and yep….we still have our Christmas lights up as we like to light them up while we sit on the balcony on warm nights. And there’s less to do come Christmas.

Our very own Chef Michael Smith (@chefgoodlifevan) is a master griller. Just check out these grill marks. PRO!

Now about those Coconut Products……
