Easy Recipe: Citrus Grilled Vegetables

Whoohoo!  It’s grilling season.  Fresh foods prepared on the grill are about the best tasting foods I can think of.  I love that they come together in a snap.  Cooking outside keeps the heat out of the house and sets the mood for good times.  There is just something about eating outside that makes a simple dinner seem like something special.

There are lots of different ways to grill vegetables……….kebabs, foil packets, directly on the grill….  My favorite way is using this nifty new grilling pan we won at our softball opening day auction.  I was so excited to win it because I know we will use it all summer long.  It’s a nice size for making a big batch of grilled vegetables. 

After using the pan a few times, I have come up with a few tips to share.  To prevent burning, sear vegetables over high heat, then move them to a cooler part of the grill to finish cooking.  I like mine a little crisp.  Everyone is different……….go ahead and grill your vegetables to your liking. Make sure to stir the vegetables.  The bottom vegetables will brown so stir those to the top so they can all have grill time.  Cut the vegetables to approximately the same size.  That way they will cook at about the same rate.  

Not too many tips because grilling vegetables is really that easy.  Toss with a light citrus marinade to help the flavors really come out.  Make a big batch.  The leftovers are great in an omelet for breakfast and a wrap for lunch.  Actually, the leftovers are really delicious when just eaten out of a bowl with a fork.  So good!

Toss vegetables in a light citrus marinade and grill to perfection. You won't believe how delicious they are! Click To Tweet

It’s always a fun day when my order from @grovec It’s always a fun day when my order from @grovecollaborative arrives. I don’t usually buy a ton of items all at once but I do purchase my favorites every month. I’m a big fan of the Grove products. This month I’m trying the organic peppermint blend tea. The mint and argan lip balm is my favorite. I also needed some more flour sack towels for my kitchen. My family loves all of the scents from @mrsmeyerscleanday and my daughter and I love the charcoal wipes from @yesto . Now to get this stuff put away and enjoy my cleaning.

Took a trip around our little community looking at Took a trip around our little community looking at Christmas lights with my daughter and husband last night. We think it would be fun to award a blue ribbon prize to our favorite house. The ribbon would say, “You won Christmas!” We are Christian and understand the true meaning of Christmas and want to spread joy to those that work hard to spread joy to others as well. Loving the Christmas season! 🎄♥️ #christmas2018 #merrychristmas #christmaslights #jesusisthereasonfortheseason
