"Winter" Veggies

Last week we had a rare day of sunshine in the middle of winter, we were outside in the sun and fresh air all day playing with the kids and doing some sprucing up around the yard.  When the weather is like that it makes us want to fire up the grill and pretend it's summer time...so that is exactly what we did!  I had some delicious local organic carrots and onions that I needed to use up, and some broccoli stems that I had saved from dinner a few nights before when I had just used the florets, and some asparagus that was definitely not in season, but the kids were begging for it at the store.

I cut up the broccoli stems (like they were carrot sticks), asparagus spears, carrot sticks, and some big slices of red and yellow onions.  I covered them with grape seed oil, salt, pepper and a ranchers steak rub. 

We put the onions on skewers and threw them directly onto the grill and the other veggies we cooked in a veggie basket you can place right onto the grill.  Grilled them for about 20mins, and we all devoured them!

I hope this picture inspires you to take advantage of a nice sunny day and enjoy some fresh grilled veggies with your dinner! Enjoy!
