Grilled Veggies.....AND CORN ON THE COB TOO...

Why not throw your veggies on the grill while you are cooking your meat. Keeps the mess and the heat outside.

GRILLED VEGGIES
3-1/2 cups frozen California-blend vegetables, thawed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Transfer to a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 14 in. x 12 in.). Fold foil over vegetables and seal tightly.
Grill, covered, over medium heat for 6-7 minutes on each side or until vegetables are tender. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. Yield: 4 servings.

CORN ON THE COB
Place ear of corn on a sheet of foil. Add a pat of butter & an ice cube, wrap up in foil and grill for 25 minutes turning 3 times.
OR to cook it in the husk soak the corn, husk and all in water for 20 minutes. Peel back the husks and remove the silk with a damp paper towel. Spread seasoned butter on the corn. Pull the husks back up to cover the corn and tie with string. Place on grill for 25 to 30 minutes turning often. This corn will have a smoky flavor.

GRILLED GARDEN VEGGIES
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed, divided
2 small zucchini, sliced
2 small yellow summer squash, sliced
1/2 pound medium fresh mushrooms, quartered
1 large tomato, diced
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Drizzle 1 tablespoon oil over a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 24 in. x 12 in.). Combine the onion, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon rosemary; spoon over foil. Top with zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms and tomato; drizzle with the remaining oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and remaining rosemary.
Fold foil around vegetables and seal tightly. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. Yield: 8 servings.
