grilled.

it's been hot here.  hotter than hot.  so dinners have been sandwiches, salads, or things on the grill.  i've got two amazing grilled items to share with you.  ah-maze-ing.

grilled tomatoes with cheese.
grilled peaches with vanilla ice cream.
uhhhh, YUM.


these things have literally changed my life, and they're SO simple.  i make enough to have leftovers for lunches and they're great reheated too!  all you need is tomatoes, cheese, garlic powder, S&P.  you can add pretty much anything to them, any spice or cheese you'd like.  i just use those spices and whatever cheese i have on hand, made them with cabot seriously sharp and they were seriously delicious.  second time around i used mexican blend shredded cheese and they were delicious that way too.  i honestly don't think you can go wrong, if you like tomatoes & cheese, you'll be a happy griller.  so here's the dish - spray a piece of foil with cooking spray, place your slices of tomatoes on the foil (i usually get 3-4 slices from a tomato depending on the size, they're fairly thick).  top with your spices and cheese and place your foil sheet on a grill over medium for 5-7 minutes until they're soft/tender.  you can eat these as is, or they're also really great over rice or pasta.  i think these would be great with some fresh basil, thyme or cilantro.  so fresh, so easy.

and here's dessert -- grilled peaches with vanilla ice cream.  this could not be more simple or more mouth watering, i promise you that.  halve a peach (free stone!) and place your peach "wet" side down on a piece of foil on a grill over medium heat.  about 5 minutes in flip your pieces to skin side down and let them cook for another 4-5 minutes until they're soft.  place them in a boil and top with vanilla ice cream.  this actually turned out so much better than i even expected it to.  we're kinda in love with it.  


and i'll leave you with this.  which has nothing at all to do with grilling, but honestly i could not resist that smile.  

happy tuesday!
