Its Grilling Time In Tennessee!

Hello All!!!!

First I know that I ask for patience a lot... I want to ask just one more time (and for some forgiveness too)!  My family and boyfriend think that my summer is done backwards.  I am busy during the school year but nothing like my summers.  My summers are supposed to be relaxing but I have been home and slept in my bed a grand total of 3 weeks since May. Wow! Its awesome though because I have had so many wonderful chances to travel and experience all kinds of vegan and non-vegan food!

Secondly I would like to say sorry, I really hope that I never take such a long absence from cooking and blogging ever again.  Also funny story, I locked my self out of my account! I was inactive for so many weeks that I was logged out automatically and then kept trying the wrong username/password combo too many times! Guess that was karma for eating all the junk food I had on my trips!

Now lets get down to the good stuff! Grilling, seasoning, and veggies... OH MY!

Shrimp and Corn Packets were on the menu for my family on July 4th.  In my experience with veggies and the different way they can be fixed, hands down grilling is my favorite!  Nothing sounds better to me than some grilled onion or grilled pineapple (not a veggie I know but go with it)!!  When dad prepared this he followed the recipe and we loved it.  Our family loved it so much that we turned around and did just veggie packets this way a few days later.  Of course this recipe is not set in stone either which is something I love!  It can be so versatile!  You could do it with just veggies, or some other fish selection if you want.  For those who eat meat chicken or pork could be added (but make sure they are properly cooked).  Don't like corn? Well nix the corn and add green beans instead.  This is a simple quick recipe that we have fallen in love with.
I would suggest for those who like a little heat to add some chipotle sauce that I keep talking about, it went so well with the sweet corn!

Overall a great meal.  I would suggest adding a few more veggies, I was dying to have some more grilled peppers after the meal.  I would also suggest a little more garlic but that is what would please my tastebuds, some of you might despise garlic.

Keep the blog close I have  few more recipes to catch up on, so many more post will go up this week! Dont forget to sign up with your e-mail so the blog is sent right to you, or follow the blog if you would like :)

Happy munching almost vegan friends
