You all may have seen this lovely photo making it's rounds through Pinterest lately. I found it a while back and repined it for later. I am happy to say we made this last week and it was super yummy! The dressing was really creamy and I hope we remember to make it again sometime! We roasted tomatoes from our garden and mixed those in - super yummy! We also roasted the garlic because let's face it - roasted garlic is always better than non roasted :) The other slight modification was using whole wheat noodles because we like them best. Spencer also thought it could use some roasted red peppers and I agree! We'll add that next time and see how it goes. So if you've pinned this and not tried it - you need to!
We also tried a new recipe from our most favorite grill book ever. It's the CookingLight Way To Cook Grilling book found here:

I think we got the book on Amazon or perhaps Harmons :) We are addicted to both so it's hard to keep track around here… hehe…
Anyways - we made a delicious black bean burger with a yummy mango salsa dressing. The one modification I will be making going forward is skipping the scallions in the salsa. I had never cooked with scallions and thought I'd give it a try and follow the recipe. However, I didn't like them and they overpowered the rest of the flavors found in the salsa. I think I'd half the amount and maybe just use a regular onion if I wanted. I'm starting to think I'll try skipping the onion all together - personal preference. The bean patty was delicious! It kind of fell apart while grilling because we didn't chill it, and we used a metal skillet/grate thing. I think we'll stick with our regular pans going forward…
Spencer also grabbed a bunch of apples at the store to juice them. It was delicious! I'm so glad he remembered that we had a juicer! I keep forgetting… But I love it every time we use it.
Yep, roasted red peppers will be happening this week. So let it be written, so let it be done!
