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!
