I was going to post this recipe, and I see you've beat me to it. This is more than a 5-star recipe!! I add 1 teaspoon ground coriander to the yogurt marinade, in additional to the cumin, oregano, and grill seasoning. I make it regularly during the summer months, as well. Cool, light, easy to make, and easy to eat!

Besides my new-found love of cooking, I also love to read and quilt. Our favorite thing to do on weekends or days off is head to the mountains for some camping and fishing.
