grillin' season!

Okay, this is kind of a strrreeeetch to say that this post falls into the "house" category, but other than this, I got nothin'. Nothing new going on with the house right now so this is all I have.

So this is what you get. A few nights ago, I was trying to decide what to do for dinner and I knew I had some squash/broccoli/mushrooms that I needed to use up. So we decided to grill (a lot of) chicken (some for salads later in the week) and have these veggies. But I found a recipe for "Sensational Grilled Veggies" in one of my cooking magazines that looked easy and scrumptious...looks can be deceiving. But I'll get to that later.

The recipe was easy. I will say that. All I had to do was cut up the veggies...


toss them with Italian salad dressing...


and wrap them up in heavy duty foil...


They went on the grill for the last 10 or 15 minutes of the cook time for the chicken...


and then were sprinkled with parmesan cheese afterward. Dinner is served!

While the veggies were okay and definitely something different, neither me or Jeff really cared for them. It was the dressing. Jeff is not a big fan of Italian dressing to begin with and I think I just prefer my veggies salty, not sweet. With that said, if you like Itialian dressing, you would probably really enjoy these veggies. Try it next time you have something to grill!

We DO like italian dressing, and I may have tried this at one time, but can't remember (must not have made an impression, huh?). Anyway, love your pictures! The veggies look so fresh and inviting.
