Went to Michigan with my mom for the day
Ate lunch at the beach
Drank amazing lemonade out of a Ball jar
Went to the Farm Stand grocery store
Picked up some beautiful zucchini and tomatoes
Picked up some ice cream for the ride home
Made it home just in time for class
Learned that one large chocolate shake at McDonald’s has more calories than two Big Macs—yikes
Made quinoa with grilled vegetables
Disappointed in dish
Greeted Brian home from his “man-cation”
Shared a beer and ate chips with guacamole
Made a new meal with the leftover grilled vegetables
Leftover vegetables turned out to be just right—my lemonade out of lemons
Grilled Vegetable Pita Sandwich
2 Pitas sliced in half
1 zucchini – half coins
1/2 red onion – rough chop
1 pint tomato variety (orange plum, red grape, and gold cocktail) or cherry tomatoes – chopped
1 poblano pepper – rough chop
2 TBS olive oil
1 tsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
s and p
goat cheese
Prepare and cut the vegetables. In a large bowl combine the vegetables with the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, cayenne, salt and pepper. Let sit for 20 minutes. Grill the vegetables over medium to high heat for 5 to 10 minutes or until tender (skewers specific to each vegetable works best—soak the skewers prior to grilling). Let the vegetables cool just slightly. Toast the pita bread until just warm, add the vegetables and crumbled goat cheese. Serve.
