We try – and sometimes succeed – to make Monday a meatless Monday when dinner time rolls around. When I described this meal to my kids they wrinkled their noses – but – they liked it! you could add in veggies if you like – I kept it simple for the first try.
I roasted my red peppers on my new pellet grill. They don’t “char” like they do on gas, but they sort of melt into this roast-y gorgeous deep red/brown color that peels wonderfully and tastes amazing. Once they’re suitably cooked down on the grill and squished, put them in a sealed bowl (cover with plastic wrap) for about 20 minutes – the skin just slides right off. Cut off the tops and take out the seeds and voila – roasted red peppers. If you use your grill and they get black, it’s okay – that works too!
Turkey Sandwich with Potato Chips. Okay – this is a no brainer, but I think we forget this can be dinner, too. There’s no reason this has to be that complicated. Make a sandwich, add some chips, carrot sticks or a salad and voila – yum. The key to making this dinner-like is the toppings – dont just slap some meat and cheese on a piece of bread, get creative. Thin sliced cucumbers, alfalfa sprouts, shredded carrots, jarred or deli red peppers and/or pepperoncini. Make it awesome!
