One of the best part of summer for me is grilled veggies. This is how I know my husband (the self proclaimed Grill Master) loves me
Grilled tofu, sweet potatoes, zucchini, eggplant and red/yellow peppers
Dinner #1
I sprinkled some olive oil and a flavored vinegar on the veggies and served them on a bed of quinoa. Tasty and satisfying dinner. Grilled sweet potatoes are amazing if you’ve never tried them.
It’s easy to throw on lots of extra veggies and tofu when you grill and have plenty of left overs for the week. Before grilling I coat the veggies with olive oil and a little salt & pepper and throw them on. That way you have good base to season as you wish with the left overs.
Here’s how I turned my leftovers into 4 more great meals.
Breakfast:
I diced up some veggies and threw them into my omelet, topped with homemade salsa and paired it up with Ezekiel bread. I have a healthy filling breakfast that keeps me going through my morning workout.
Next up lunch #1
Grab those veggies and pop them on top of a veggie burger on a whole wheat bun with a half of an avocado. Simple and filling.
Lunch #2-Veggie Pasta Salad
I cooked up some whole wheat rotini and added in the diced veggies, some fresh Mozzarella a little olive oil, balsamic, oregano and fresh basil if you have it. This was a great filling lunch that made enough for a few days.
Dinner #2
I took everything that was left and topped it onto 2 corn tortillas with avocado, shredded cheddar and salsa. I served it on top of brown rice. Another great meal with virtually no prep.
What tips do you have for me? How do you get your grilled veggies on?
These look great, especially the pasta dish. I think it’s time to get grilling!
Thanks the pasta salad was one of my faves. I love fresh mozzarella and it was a great post workout lunch. Thanks for stopping by!
Wow, these do look great. I’ve never grilled sweet potatoes but that sounds amazing. I love grilling fruit too. Peaches and pineapples are even more delicious than normal this way.
I have newly started grilling sweet potatoes and they are so good. I also really liked them diced up in my omelet the next morning. Grilled pineapple is good too.
Yummy! Great recipe ideas….I love doing this with veggies, they are so adaptable!
They are I love the summer veggies!
Oh, I so want a grill! Now that I’m liking more veggies I’m getting bored on the ways to cook them. I need the variety!
There are so many different things you can do with them. Over the summer everything is so good and fresh.
DEEELICIOUS. I love to put grilled veggies into sandwiches–especially zucchini!
yes me too! So easy and good.
Yum I love love LOVE grilled veggies. All your meals are such a great use of them too! Thanks for joining the #wowlinkup 🙂
I love them too! One of my favorite parts of summer. The fruits and veggies are so good. #wowlinkup
Nice ideas! I always have a grill every Saturday afternoon. It is great to have a chat with my family and eat healthy at the same time. My favorites are mushrooms and eggplants. I like the tortilla recipe a lot.
I love roasted veggies and you are so good using them for so many meals. Endless possibilities!
I love them too it’s the best part of summer!
Thanks yes endless! I need to come up w some more
What a great idea!! Very similar to the prepare your meals for the week method. BUT I could totally get behind this because I LOVE grilled veggies! 🙂
Yes very similar indeed. It didn’t know what I was going to do with them. I just had my hubby grill up a big batch over the weekend and then I used them throughout the week
oooh great ideas! Do you grill them ahead of time?
I had my hubby grill up everything over the weekend then I used them during the week in all of the recipes. Super easy!
Such great ideas! I love this time of year when all the fruits and veggies come into season. I spend a large amount of time grilling and sauteing them 🙂 #wowlinkup
Me too! It makes healthy eating so much easier
Everything looks amazing – and so diverse in flavors too! I wish I had a deck at my apartment, perhaps it will be a food request when I visit my parents 🙂
Ah bummer! You might have to stop over at a friends house with a plate of raw veggies! Lol
You are hitting it out of the park with these food posts! So helpful! I’ve been trying to incorporate more veggies into my meals however I can and I love them grilled. That omelet looks especially delicious!
Thanks that’s my favorite way to eat them too! It’s one of the best parts of summer
Hi,
I just hopped by from #wowlinkup Workout Wednesdays to read your super creative reuse of grilled veggies into 5 meals. I especially love the corn tortillas. I am a big believer in batch cooking and reuse. It saves time and sanity.
I love the corn tortillas too! They are light but tasty. It is so much easier to make veggies once and then create meals from them. Thanks for stopping by hope to see you again!
Yum! Have you ever grilled peaches? I have a girlfriend who swears they’re the best things ever. Never tried it myself though.
I’ve never tried to grill peaches but I do hear they are good. Let’s try them.
Yum, yum, yum. It might be cliche but it’s so easy for me to eat healthy during the warm weather months b/c there’s so many yummy ways to eat veggies! (grilled is my favorite btw) Why can’t I want veggies this bad in the winter 🙁 haha
I know it’s so much easier to eat healthy in the summer isn’t it?!
I like those creative ideas to get multiple meals out of one dish. Helps to save time!!! I need some of that in my life. #wowlinkup
It does make it so much easier to have a base already there that you can turn into so many other meals.
Oh yeah, nice and quick!
Very easy indeed!
Love having veggies on hand to throw into meals during the week!! #wowlinkup
It is so easy and quick to do in the summer too!
I am addicted to grilled veggies. I will eat them with anything and everything. Eggs, pasta, quinoa, any kind of meat. I always make a ton because they heat up wonderfully.
So easy to throw into any other recipe later in the week.
I just filled my largest mixing bowl with all of the fresh veggies we could find at the store and they are prepped and ready for the grill! I’m so excited to try your recipe suggestions; tomorrow we’re taking pulled pork barbecue and some of the grilled veggies to my dad’s for Father’s Day. The rest I’m using in meals throughout the week. I’m sure they will be a huge hit! Thanks so much for the ideas and see you soon for a run, my friend.
I’m so glad you are trying them. They are really easy to turn into great meals throughout the week. Have a great time at your dad’s house tomorrow. And yes see you soon for a run for sure. I’m finally back up to speed and looking forward to it.
So I haven’t had grilled sweet potatoes, yet but now I am dying to try them! Sounds delish 🙂 Stopping by from the #wowlinkup
They are so good you have to try them! #wowlinkup
I have never grilled vegetables. Since I like to grill, I need to start doing this. Grilling a sweet potato seems like a delicious idea. Visiting from the #wowlinkup
OMG! How have you never grilled veggies?! You must drop everything and do it immediately. They taste so much better and the sweet potatoes are totally delish.
Love these practical tips! They all look so yummy too! 🙂
So good and easy too! Thanks for visiting
I absolutely LOVE your blog layout, color scheme, etc. Super cute and fun! Anyway, I LOVE this post, see how a bunch of grilled veggies can be transformed! This is why I prep basic and transform my meats all week 🙂
Thanks so much! It is really easy to turn veggies into anything. Looks like we like a lot of the same foods. Hope to see you again soon
