"Good Monday morning after another weekend
for the history books!"
Did you cook something healthy and delicious this weekend?
Perhaps, like me, you were in a very warm location and thoughts
of turning on an oven in your kitchen just wasn't in the cards.
Yesterday, in the 90's again by early afternoon, and still hanging out
at home, it was a grilling day for sure.
We fired up the grill early for veggies - eggplant, zucchini, peppers and a few
earns of corn. I set them aside to cool, then cut off the corn to add to a large
bowl of orzo salad made around noon. We love this easy to make salad.
Leftovers can be used as a base for other tasty additions such as grilled shrimps
or scallops, cheeses, other veggies, and chicken (which we don't eat).
Around 6 pm, another quick heating of the grill and we plopped on two veggie
burgers (my favorite - Trader Joe's Vegetable Masala Burger with Indian Spices),
and melted a thin slice of Manchego cheese on top.
Added fresh snipped basil and parsley from the garden to the salad, splashed
balsamic vinegar on the grilled veggies and we were ready to go.
Delicious meal!
Basil coming along - pesto days ahead!
This was how I used leftovers another time - added more chopped and
roasted veggies, toasted pine nuts and Greek Feta cheese.
Some beautiful white blooms out now - lilies and gardenias - both so fragrant.
Hoping your weekend was good and that this week will be even better.
Stay well and be strong!
