Welcome to my Blog!


I am so glad you stopped by. A couple of months ago I saw the movie Julie & Julia, where a young woman decides to take a year and make every recipe in Julia Child's French Cookbook. I enjoyed the movie very much and became intrigued. Maybe I could do something like that, so, I got out my barely used, 13 year old, Better Homes Cookbook and started flipping through. Thus began my cooking experiment.

Cooking is something I have always hated to do, it was a chore for me, not a pleasure. I am not a professional cook, and never will be, but the movie ignited a spark in me and revealed a new discovery, cooking can be fun!

I am learning that with patience, motivation, and good recipes anyone can be a good cook. Believe me, if I can do it, so can you! I hope you will experiment along with me and let me know what you think of the recipes I share.

I will post each new recipe I try along with a picture (I can't stand cookbooks that don't include pictures!) so you can see the final product. I will also share tips that I have learned along the way. For you seasoned chefs, the tips may seem like common sense, but for those of us who are dummies in the kitchen, they are epiphanies.

Happy Cooking!

Delicious Grill Vegetables


This is actually my own recipe.  I love this easy way to cook vegetables in the summer.  I also love that there is no pan to clean after.  I love the flavor of this mix of vegetables.  Try your own mix for a unique flavor of your own.

Ingredients:

1 summer squash julienned
1 zucchini julienned
1/4 red onion sliced
2 cloves garlic chopped
1 green pepper
1 tomato
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
aluminum foil

Directions:

One of the easiest ways to cook veggies in the summer is to use foil packs on the grill.  Mix all of the veggies together in the middle of a large piece of aluminum foil.  Cover with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you choose.  Seal the aluminum foil to make a packet and place on the top shelf of your grill while you are cooking your meat.  Turn packet once or twice during cooking.  You will end up with tender, yummy, mixed veggies.
