Lots are good on the grill. Chopped up summer squash seasoned with greek spices and olive oil cooked on a sheet of non stick tin foil by folding up the edges.

Avacado cut in half and cooked on the grill with a little salt, pepper and lemon juice. Skin side down.

Corn on the grill. Leave husk on, soak in water for a hour or more then place directly on the grill. Kind of steams it. And I agree with Gracie, Garden to cooking as fast as possible.

Steam broccoli with lots of grated ginger in the water. Adds a great flavor to it.

Butternut squash, cut in quarters, roasted and served with butter and brown sugar sprinkled on top.

Fresh from the garden tomatoes and cukes, cut up, salt, pepper and olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Good stuff.
I love a plate of home-grown tomatoes sliced, drizzled with olive oil and balsamic, sprinkled with salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and basil chiffonade. Has to be very good tomatoes.

I'm with you on that. They made me gag when I was forced to eat them as a kid. Something about the texture. We kids became very good at hiding them in our napkins, although thinking back I bet our parents knew we were doing it and just let it go. Win-win.

I suggest you just try the lima beans cooked with ham at Oakwood. A friend always orders them and I decided to try them. I now have changed my mind. YUMMY.

Chunks of fresh pineapple threaded on a skewer. Baste with a mixture of honey and a tiny bit of cayenne pepper. Occasionally baste with butter to make it brown.

I also thread veggies on skewers including, zucchini, sweet onion chunks, whole mushrooms, small mini canned potatoes (rinsed and dried with a paper towel). I baste in salted butter while grilling. Toss veggies in olive oil and a small amount of pork seasoning before putting on skewer.

... nor succotash!

So when I went to summer camp, we were allowed to name two foods we didn't have to eat. First on my list... lima beans. Next was beets, but my mother always served them out of a jar (yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkk). Later I discovered that baking fresh beets drizzled with balsamic and wrapped in tinfoil is a whole 'nother thing. Those are a treat.
