Two Meals in One

A couple of weeks ago, Jon and I took advantage of the early spring by dusting off the grill. Since the weather seemed too good to be true, we thought we'd better do enough grilling for two meals while we had the chance.

Jon was in charge of meal #1, and he made grilled fish wraps with a yogurt sauce and some grilled asparagus. Everything was delicious, and went immediately into the "Make Again" file.

While he was working on that night's dinner, I put together some simple veggie skewers. I used peppers, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, and a zucchini, and brushed everything with olive oil. After sprinkling some salt and pepper, they were ready to hit the grill. By the time Jon had assembled the wraps, the skewers were also done. They went into a glass bowl and then into the fridge for the next night's dinner.

When it was time to make dinner the next day, all I had to do was boil water for pasta. I took the veggies out of the fridge and let them come to room temperature while the pasta cooked. After I drained the pasta, I put it back in the hot pot and added the grilled veggies, plus a little red wine vinegar and some Pasta Sprinkle from Penzey's. Toasted pine nuts and feta cheese finished off the dish.

I think pretty much everything we cook is yummy, but this was seriously one of the best easy dinners I've made. Simple and perfect, and ready in the time it takes to boil water. Try it!
