Grilled Veggie BBQ

Grilled Eggplant and Peppers

So my best friends family had a BBQ! This is my favorite place to do the whole outdoors/BBQ thing.. 

and for several reasons! First, I get to spend time with my best friend, and her family, whom I love. This is my #1 reason for going, the people in your life are always more important then places or things... or food, adventure & travel for that matter! The people who come along for the ride make it all worth while!

Second, and most important for this blog 

I suppose, is the fact that they are always making interesting food and grilling different and unusual things, compared to the ordinary BBQ. Don't expect to dine here and get your ordinary hotdogs & burgers! Not that there's anything wrong with hotdogs & burgers! I'd eat them too... lol. This time VEGGIES were the main focus!

So we cut up all sorts of peppers into nice hearty chunks. The eggplants were cut into thin slices. A little drizzle of olive oil and some spices were added before everything was placed on this grill.

Red Potatoes

The Red Potatoes were scattered in a pan, drizzled with olive oil and some spices. Then, they were placed in the oven to roast. Why I don't have an 'after' picture of this, I'm not sure! I guess by the time they came out I was too distracted actually eatting them to take the 'after' pic! Sorry guys, next time! :P

My bestie's mom made asparagus soup from scratch.
I have no idea what was put into it or how it was made, but thankfully she made a large pot of it. Everyone had 2nds, 3rds and 4ths! It was just that good... I believe this is a secret family recipe though, so we may never know what goes into this!
