Good Saturday Morning

[Licker4U]

Morning all. 3 1/2 weeks on the Atkins diet and I've only lost 5 pounds and lost 1 1/2 inches around my waist. I walk two miles every day and some times another two in the afternoon with some crunches thrown in. Guess I'll have to double up on the exercise. |goodidea This bod will be prime real estate if it kills me. Gonna fire up the charcoal grill this afternoon and grill some zucchini, squash, red, yellow and orange bell peppers, portabella shrooms, green beans and red onion slices. Looks like a veggie day here. Yum!

Hang in there! You are doing great.. it is working just a bit slow yet.
Mmmm I love the charcoal grill and your menu... can I visit you?

PS What spice do you use for squash e.g. ?

Extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper on all the veggies. Grill the veggies and when done make this sauce:

1 head of garlic, roasted
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
3 tablespoons minced fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
(I'll probably throw in some minced garlic too)
Freshly grated Parmesan

In the bottom of a large bowl, mash the roasted garlic and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to make a paste. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, add the vinegar and whisk to combine. Add the herbs and pour over the vegetables. Sprinkly on the grated cheese.
