Anna's in the kitchen

Hi everyone!

It's me again, Anna Romeo. I figured I'd stop by today since it's Saturday and I don't have to go to the library. Consequently, I'm not running late, like I usually am. Of course I can't stay forever because there's always something to do around this place but a few minutes? That'll work.

I just mean, a vineyard just doesn't run itself. And the house? It seems like I'm constantly picking up a pair -- or two or six -- of Tony's dirty socks. But I guess if a man's got to have a flaw, a penchant for dropping his dirty clothes as he strips isn't so bad...not as long as I get to watch, that is!

But I digress.

I saw that Elinor shared cornbread recipes (which I plan to try! Thanks, Elinor!) so I thought I'd share one of my recipes for grilled vegetables. We have a huge garden so grilled veggies are a staple at our house.

So here it is. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Buon appetito!

Grilled Vegetables

Zucchini
Eggplant
Bell Peppers
Onions
Parsley
Garlic cloves, chopped
Oregano
Basil
Salt & Pepper
Olive oil

You'll notice I haven't given any measurements for the ingredients. For a recipe like this one, just use whatever you've got at hand. Wash, dry and slice all the vegetables. Chop the herbs. Put it all in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and then get grilling. It's that simple! Tony and Nonno both like it when I make extra. They eat the leftovers in sandwiches using a crusty Italian loaf that I sometimes make. If I haven't made bread recently they'll use whatever's in the bread drawer.
