My Favorite Finds #13 - 1st Holiday of the Summer
The official 1st holiday of the Summer is just a few weeks away......time to plant the tomatoes, dust off the picnic table and fire up the grill! We grill and/or barbecue just about every weekend during the summer. We love our hamburgers, brats, ribs, chicken and steaks. We also love to grill fresh vegetables in our special grilling pan. This is also the time for get-togethers, picnics and potlucks with family and friends. My daughter tasted the following dish at an office potluck and told me how delicious it was. I made it for a Christmas party (though it's a bit more expensive to make in the winter due to the price of the grapes) and it was a big hit! My daughter made it for our Mother's Day Brunch yesterday, and again, everyone just loved it! Try it for your next potluck and you, too, will get many compliments and requests for the recipe!

ReplyDeleteMmmmm...that sounds yummy and easy to make. Will have to try this soon. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI have a grill pan like that too! Got it for Christmas. So do you just throw the veggies in or do you do something to them first?
ReplyDeleteWe always toss the vegies with olive oil and sometimes spices, like Mrs. Dash. To speed up the cooking process, we also cover the top with tin foil. Even the kids love the veggies this way!!
