We're a small family learning to live a simpler way of life by growing our own food, using organic methods as much as possible. We seek to give back to nature as much as nature has given to us. We understand the circle of life and cycles of seasons. With this basic understanding we believe that we can get back to our ancestral roots.

Grilled Zucchini makes a GREAT lunch!
Different people like their zucchini different ways. Me, I like it roasted in the oven with extra virgin olive oil and Ms. Dash Onion & Herb seasoning. But I also like it grilled. Now, I do use my George ForemanⓇ Grill for this when I want a quick lunch.
If I had the time, I'd put them on a charcoal grill.
For this, I slice my zukes lengthwise. (Go ahead and plug in your grill)
Next, I place them in a bowl and drizzle extra virgin olive oil on them, about
1/2 - 1 TBS (depending on the amount of zucchini I use). Place a secured lid
on the bowl and shake, making sure to get all the evoo on every slice
of zucchini. Make sure the grill is hot enough/ready. Place the slices of
zucchini on the grill. Lightly sprinkle sea salt on each slice of zucchini.
And then close the grill lid and let grill 2 to 5 minutes
(depending on how soft or crisp you want your veggie).
Optional: add a leaf or sprig of your favorite culinary herb.
I chose to use basil leaf. *You would grill the herb with the zucchini.
And there you go! It's that simple. And it's always best if you can
grow or purchase organic vegetables!! Or look around your neighborhood,
you just may have a farmer that grows vegetables in abundance who would
be willing to share his/her harvest for a fair price for the love & labor
they put in to their gardening.
