Its Monday night and after 4 months of an empty propane tank, I finally have a refill (many thanks to my fiancé ….as I would have just let the grill rust vs. go get a new tank) and I’m feeling inspired (And a little obligated). After reading the terrifying instructions on reinstalling a propane tank….let me tell you…I used an entire watering pot of “soapy water” to check those seals and still was a little scared when I ignited the first section. My daughter walked by right then and I yelled “GET BACK!”. Poor thing just watched Mission Impossible and looked like she was going to duck & roll.
Grilled veggies are the best… And really any combination turns out amazing on the grill. Here is my veggie combo from last night.
Grilled Veggies
1 potato sliced
1 summer squash, sliced
2 sweet potatoes. sliced
5 sweet peppers
1 cup sliced carrots
1 c cherry tomatoes
1 red onion, chopped roughly
2 sprigs of fresh thyme, sprinkled across
1T olive oil, 1T hot pepper oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper
Mix together and grill in roasting pan 45 mins
don’t they already look good!
i love, love, love this sesame oil
grilled veggies ready for the table
Sangria
While grilling, I love a glass of wine… Especially after taking my life in my hands with the tank install! I prefer red…but goodness IT IS HOTl so I decided upon red sangria. An easy, refreshing mix, and so delicious! To prepare …pour glass of red wine, add several splashes of margarita mix, ice cubes, frozen berries….yep. time to grill!
now Im ready to grill!
Sriracha Mac & Cheese
Cook gluten free Penne pasta 7-8 mins, drain and rinse, set aside
In pot, melt 1/4 c butter
Stir in 1/4 t mustard
1 tsp Sriracha
Whisk in 1/4 c gluten free flour
2 c milk, whisk gently til thick
Add 1 c cheddar cheese
Mix into pasta, sprinkle and additional cup of cheese over top, add 1/4 c Parmesan over top, garnish with Sriracha. ( I only did 1/3 of the pan as 2/5 of my house is spice averse)
Bake a 375, 40 mins
I’m pretty sure NOONE wants to hear how to cook burgers from someone who doesn’t eat meat, so I’ll keep it short!.. Basically I just mix in salt, pepper, worchestshire sauce and throw on grill. I have no idea if they even taste good….but they disappeared quickly!
Anyway, make it an awesome day!
