Vegan BBQ

It is a beautiful but unseasonably warm day today, perfect for sitting outdoors on the deck in the late afternoon and evening while cooking supper on the barbeque. I sliced onions, zucchini, and halved two large peppers. The portabella mushrooms and asparagus went on the grill whole. All the vegetables were brushed with a little olive oil and no other seasonings were added. I closed the lid intermittently with the burners on low and in about 20 minutes, dinner was ready. The mushrooms and asparagus cooked the fastest and were transferred to the top tray while the other vegetables cooked.


We put spicy black bean dip on thin whole grain buns (both President's Choice products) and piled on the vegetables.

Delicious! Who knew meatless would be this good?

Strawberry Shortcake Sliders

I saw these little shortcakes on Simply Recipes. The mini cakes above were made with our regular biscuit recipe instead of the richer ones featured in the first link (a 2 inch biscuit cutter was used). Cut the biscuits in half, add 1-2 strawberry slices and a dollop of cream. Store in the fridge. They may keep for a few hours depending on how many people are in the house. They do "slide down" very nicely!
