did you know....

Did you know that Turquoise got its name because the French would go to Turkey and they loved the color blue represented in the churches and mosques so they started calling it the color of the Turks which then eventually turned into the name Turquoise. I thought this was an interesting bit of trivia. I also love love love this color. I have decorated most of my house (pics will be coming) in this color along with some browns, creams, blues, whites, and greens. I hope it doesn't go out of style any time soon.

GREAT SUMMER DINNER - GRILLED VEGGIES!

When my mom comes out to visit we always visit the Asian Market and pick up all kinds of beautiful veggies for our veggie dinner on the grill. It is pretty self explanatory so I will post mostly the pictures. But if you haven't done this before you should try it. It's a great summer dish. Or all year round out here in Cali!!


Prepare the veggies, I microwave the potatoes for a few minutes before I put them on the grill for faster cooking



Yep, grill the romaine lettuce too!!



This is just olive oil with garlic powder


Brush the olive oil mixture on your veggies before cooking



Make the Caesar salad dressing from one of my earlier posts. This is how your grilled Caesar salad will turn out! It is delicious!!



Grill all of the veggies until they are done



Now doesn't that look YUMMY!! ENJOY!!
