Grilled Veggie Salad

Tonight we had some friends over for bbq dinner in the garage. I created another one of my famous pasta salads.

Awesome Pasta Salad VI

2 cups grilled vegetables - chopped (I used zucchini, red pepper, yellow onions and portabello mushrooms)
8 oz bowtie pasta, cooked and drained
Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing, enough to coat

Another Awesome Salad

For Mark's birthday we cooked out. On my way home from work I dreamed up this salad. It was quite good!

Awesome Pasta Salad VI
8 oz whole wheat corkscrew pasta, cooked and drained
1 cup asparagus, cut into 1" pieces and steamed
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped if the pieces are large
1/4 cup red onion, quartered and thinly sliced
1/2 cup grape tomatoes
12 oz mushrooms, sliced
Asian vinaigrette

Combine all ingredients and enjoy!

Darn Good Shrimp

We barbecued all weekend. Tired of eating only salad, I decided to cook up some shrimp.

BBQ Shrimp
2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deviened
Baja Chipotle marinade

Marinate shrimp for 30 minutes. Thread on skewers. Place over hot coals for 3-4 minutes per side.
