I know it's not Memorial Day yet, but grilling season has officially begun in my book. Hot dogs, hamburgers and steaks tend to be the popular grilling items, but for this girl it's ALL about the grilled veggies. If you have a Dollar Tree close to you, they have these cookie sheet like pans with holes in them that are great to put sliced vegetables on that make grilling them a breeze. I stocked up on the pans last year, but I did see they are carrying them again this year, so if you can find them at your store, I suggest grabbing a few. As the weather heats up, I find myself looking for lighter meal options. Leafy salads are a huge staple here during hot weather months, but so are things like pasta salad, too. Fresh veggies are in abundance at the supermarkets right now, and I have been taking full advantage until I can harvest from my own garden later this summer. I had overbought on bell peppers earlier this week, so I ended up using them in this Grilled Vegetables with Bowtie Noodles and Parmesan recipe that I grabbed from Golden Blossom Honey. 

This recipe has everything you are going to need for a light, colorful and nutritious summertime meal. There's minimal prep going on here, and since the majority of this recipe is cooked on the grill, short of boiling noodle water, you aren't adding unnecessary heat to the house by turning on the oven. This can be a meal in itself, but you could also toss a chicken breast on the grill for those who like protein in their pasta dishes. I mentioned before that we'll be hosting a large grad party in late June, and I think this recipe would be perfect to double, or even triple to add to our side dish table. Made in batches large or small, this recipe covers all. Keep it handy for summertime potlucks, parties, or for a quick and easy meal to enjoy by yourself out on the deck.
