Grilled Veggies with Goat Cheese and Basil

With Daniele gone, my eating habits transform almost completely vegetarian in an instant. It's not that I don't like meat, it's just that I feel healthier and I prefer the taste of fresh fruits and vegetables, especially in the summer. And with Daniele not putting the pressure on to eat meals with meat in them..I simply don't do it.

Also, it's difficult to cook for one, therefore, simple is better. I like to use few ingredients with strong flavors to really savor the taste of the fresh produce. Yum.

This one truly is simple, and I recommend it for a night you need to cook for yourself...or, it could even be an impressive side dish when entertaining.

Zucchini and Summer Squash with Goat Cheese and Basil
-1 summer squash, sliced vertically
-1 zucchini, sliced vertically
-1/3 cup crumpled goat cheese
-1/4 cup chopped basil
-olive oil
-lemon juice
-pepper
-salt

After slicing your vegetables, place on a grill. Or, I used a George Foreman. Grill zucchini and summer squash for about 5-7 minutes, flipping once if necessary. Top the vegetables with a hint of salt and pepper, as well as a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice. Place goat cheese and chopped basil on top of the zucchini and summer squash and enjoy instantly.
