What are your weekend plans? If you’re like me, the first thing on your list is a trip to the farmer’s market. The bright colors of our farmer’s market right now are pulling me in. If you’re even more like me, you over-buy. I buy more vegetables than two people can eat. I just can’t help it—I must have every color of squash, pepper, and onion! I also must buy radishes because who knows how much longer their season will last? Last week, I came home with 2 huge bags of vegetables. I got to work right away. First, I made a quick marinade with balsamic, olive oil, and Italian seasoning. Then, I got to chopping. I sliced 2 colors of squash, 1 pepper and a small bunch of radishes and scallions. I placed the veggies in one bag, the meat in another, and went to inform the Mr. that it was grill time.
This isn’t really a recipe, more of a guideline for how to grill for two. I’ll give you a suggestion on the amount of vegetables, but the protein and bed of grains is up to you. We went with chicken and quinoa. I could easily see next weekend being steak and farro. Or chickpeas and bulgur. I hope y’all have fun coming up with mixed grills for two. The goal is to get you and your sweetheart out on the deck, grilling and sipping boozy sweet tea. Enjoy summer, y’all!
