Good news! Our new grill grate arrived today!
It was raining, though, so we didn’t get a chance to christen it. But never fear! Instead of having a cookout, we had a cook-in, which was just as good.
I had a couple of potatoes left over in the veggie bowl, along with a bag of mixed vegetables in the freezer. (As a aside, we topped the potatoes with chives and parsley from the garden — we love using our homegrown herbs as much as we can in the spring and summer months. For a couple of dollars each, we have plants that will last for several seasons!) I put the Morningstar Farms Grillers in the oven for the last 15 minutes of cooking, and dinner was served!
I love the Grillers – they’re my favorite veggie burgers. There’s something very hearty and comforting about them, something that immediately evokes summer after summer of outdoor barbecuing, a tradition I can’t wait to continue in the coming weeks and months!
The stats:
Veggie burger: $4.99/four ($1.25/person)
Hamburger buns: $1.99 ($0.25/person)
Mixed veggies: $1.67 ($0.84/person)
Potatoes: $1.21 ($0.61/person)
GRAND TOTAL: $9.86 .. or $2.95 per person.
