Congratulations Graduates!
 

Is it smart to buy property for your college student to live in during college years?

Tuition, books, meals, housing… the cost of college adds up faster than it even seems possible. Many parents are left wondering if the idea of also buying a house for their student to live in, on top of all those expenses is sheer insanity. But is it? Buying a property for your kid to use could actually have some benefits – and might not only save you some money along the way, but possibly even turn a profit.

TCG FAVORITE RECIPES

Memorial Weekend is just around the corner. We are sharing two unique recipes that will be a hit at any gathering!

 
 

Grilled Maple Sriracha Chicken Kebobs

Ingredients:

2 large chicken breasts, cubed

 ¼ cup soy sauce

¼ cup maple syrup

 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce

                         
 MAKES 4 SERVINGS

Directions:

Place cubed chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag. Whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, and sriracha sauce.
Pour over the top of the chicken and massage into the chicken.
Marinate for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator.

Once chicken is done marinating, soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes. Then skewer the chicken pieces on to the skewer. We had about 6 skewers with maybe 6-7 pieces of chicken on each skewer.

Turn your outdoor grill on high (or you can use an indoor grill or your stove-top) and grill chicken until thoroughly cooked through.


 
 

Ingredients

4 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise

Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing

2 pounds seedless watermelon—rind removed, flesh cut into 1/2-inch dice

1 English cucumber—halved, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch dice

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Kosher salt

How to Make It

  • Step 1

    Light a grill or preheat a grill pan; oil the grill grate. Brush the tomatoes with olive oil and grill cut side down over high heat until charred, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool completely. Cut the tomatoes into 1/2-inch dice.

  • Step 2

    In a large bowl, toss the tomatoes with the watermelon, cucumber, lime juice and crushed red pepper. Stir in the cilantro, season with salt and serve at once
