Vegetables for grilling (in no particular order):
- squash (sliced or whole with seeds replaced with cream cheese, wrapped in parma ham / bacon)
- eggplant (sliced)
- tomatoes (whole or seeds replaced with cream cheese)
- paprika (seeds removed)
- peppers (seeds removed)
- potatoes (several different methods; summer potatoes are really delicious)
- carrots (again, summer carrots are best)
- corn (precooked)
- cauliflower (pieces or "steaks")
- broccoli (pieces)
- asparagus (esp. good when wrapped in parma ham or bacon, with hollandaise sauce and grilled salmon)
etc etc

esp. root vegetables may benefit from precooking

Softer vegetables are usually best when grilled carefully on open fire; root vegetables are easiest when chopped, wrapped in tinfoil with herbs and butter or cream cheese

So, it was raining last night, so I wasn't able to do that grilled veggies we were talking about. But, I'll definitely do that another day. Instead, my wife cooked mushroom cream-soup. It was great, but unfortunately I forgot to take a picture... However, I'm still focused on vegetables.

Finally, good weather! So we were grilling last weekend. We took two small pheasants and some veggies.. But I got a little bit carried away, and lost control over the temperature. Pheasants started burning, but when I took them out, they turned out better than I even expected. Meat was soft and almost melted in the mouth! But, I'm still thinking that I need a thermometer for grilling. And, while I was busy with the meat, our vegetable kabobs mystically disappeared :scratch: So, only pic of pheasants attached.

Hmmmmmm Cooking competition.

But what do you enjoy?

Try a Dutch almond Koek for desert lots of recipes on the internet. So easy, tasty and u do not even need a blender.

I love a good pork loin cooked in Kimchi. What could be simpler??


Rumballs are fun to make for Christmas. And they smell fantastic. Another simple recipe.

Just a couple ideas... : )
