As Summer draws to a close and gardens aren't producing quite as much anymore, we wind up with a lot of "ones" and "twos" of things. Not enough for a meal, but certainly not wanting to go to waste, what do we DO with all these odds and ends?
Primavera Mixed Grill!
Not only does this SUPER easy recipe make a Lean and Green meal that is delicious and bountiful, but it also cooks up in one basket with no mess and no heating the house.
Primavera Mixed Grill is also one of my "Little Black Dress Recipes" - that is, a recipe with basic ingredients that you can mix and match with hundreds of combinations of Stacey Hawkins Spices & Oils to yield many different flavor results. A few of my favorites?
Roasted Garlic Oil, Mediterranean Seasoning, Dash of Desperation
Valencia Orange Oil, Tasty Thai Seasoning (or Wok On)
Luscious Lemon Oil, Citrus Dill Seasoning, Dash of Desperation
Roasted Garlic Oil, Garlic & Spring Onion
Truthfully, the combinations are endless! The flavors will be changed by the combination of vegetables you choose. The truth is, it doesn't matter WHAT you use (as long as you follow guidelines if you're on Optavia 5&1 ), and the more color, the better!
In my mix above, I used red and green peppers, yellow squash, onion, and carrots from my garden (I've transitioned, so carrots are ok- but substitute something else if you're on 5 &1). As you can see, the colors are absolutely gorgeous, before AND after cooking!
Grab the end of the summer bounty from your garden or hit the farmer's market today and get cooking! This dish will be one you'll miss all winter long...
Happy Cooking~
