Grilled Vegetable Wrap


I mentioned yesterday that in addition to the Polenta Packets, we also grilled up a bunch of vegetables to eat this week.  Grilling vegetables is one of the easiest things you can do with a grill, and they are delicious.  I sliced up an eggplant, zucchini and yellow squash, and marinated them in Italian salad dressing.  You can marinate in anything you like, but I would say at least a little olive oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper.

I peeled strips into the skin of the eggplant and sliced into about 1/4-1/2 inch rounds.  The zucchini and yellow squash were a little small, so I sliced those lengthwise so they wouldn't fall into the coals.  A few of the zucchini threw themselves through the grate onto the coals anyway, but that was likely due to the tong technique of the griller.  The griller was not me.

Grill the vegetables over medium or high heat a few minutes each side, or until they have nice marks and have softened.  Return to the dish you used for marinating for storage.

When you are ready to eat, layer some of the vegetables and cheese of your choice in a wrap.  I used herb goat cheese, and it was great.  We grilled the wraps in the panini press, but you can eat it cold, too.  The possibilities are endless here, pretty much any vegetable you can think to throw on the grill would be great.

So Long, 1986 Kitchen

When we moved into this house, the kitchen was mostly functional, but ugly.  Our house was built in 1986, and the kitchen showed everything that the 80s had to offer by way of style.  Grainy oak cabinets, heavy hardware, beige laminate countertops, a white tile backsplash with little flowers painted on, and a weird tiny eat-in area that had been converted to a useless tile countertop that was impossible to keep clean.   In the three years that we have lived here, I complained about the ugliness of the kitchen approximately 8,888,888,888,888 times.  We discussed several iterations of this renovation ranging from taking down load-bearing walls, reconfiguring the layout, and gutting everything to just getting new cabinet hardware.  This winter, when we had a few months without too many commitments, we tackled the renovation.  Obviously, by we I mean that Jon did the bulk of the work, I complained about how many times I had to clean tile dust off th...

Peanut Sauce Spaghetti Squash Bowls

I know, it's been a while. Turns out wrangling three little boys doesn't leave a lot of time for recipe writing and food photos. We still eat, though, and pretty well! Mostly I share quick recipes and meals on my Facebook page At Home With Ann , so please follow me there! I love spaghetti squash as a substitute for pasta. It's healthy, way lower in carbs and higher in vitamins.  It's also easier to prep than zucchini noodles, and I think it stands up to hearty sauces better.  I simply stab it with a sharp knife a few times, and roast it in a 400 degree oven for an hour, or until a knife easily slides through the skin.  Let cool, cut open, discard seeds and shred with a fork.  Spaghetti squash with meatballs is in our regular dinner rotation, but there is often a lot of leftover squash.  This easy vegetarian dish is a perfect quick dinner or lunch, and if your kids don't go for the peanut sauce, there is plenty of cut veggies for them to eat.

My big sister and the egg sandwich that might cure her cancer

I usually like to keep things light hearted here At Home With Ann.  Simple recipes, awkward jokes, toddler antics and kitchen fiascos.  But we all experience times in life when we are thrown for a loop and face something that stops us in our tracks.  I, like a classic control freak, tend to keep things to myself.   Everything is under control, see? My house is clean, dinner is cooked, the dishes are done, I'm on schedule, I blow dried my hair, I don't need help.  See?  See?   But this time it's not about me, it's not something I can control, and wishing it away won't actually make it go away. Me, my Mom and Sarah last Summer Three years ago my sister, Sarah, was diagnosed with a form of leukemia called AML (acute myeloid leukemia).  My reaction was typical.  This happens to other people.  Not my 33 year old sister who lives by the ocean, gets tons of fresh air and exercise, and eats healthier than anyone who has ever entered Whole...
