Memorial Day is fast approaching and on Cape Cod, this is when summer officially begins. Tourism season starts and the beaches finally warm up enough for a refreshing dip in the Atlantic. Often on beach days, we pack a cooler with lunch and snacks and stay all day at the beach. Coming home is sometimes a chore spent de-sanding children and emptying the car. However, I can say that summer dinners are a breeze when you take the time to marinade meat while you are at the beach and fire up the grill when you return.
