Six Great Grillable Veggies

7/8/2020

Next time you fire up the grill, consider throwing on some green stuff to go along with your meat. Grilling vegetables gives them a nice caramelized, smoky flavor and can help you round out your meal a little more.

1. Corn
You can grill corn with the husks on if you want, but remove as many of the silks as you can. With or without husks, it only takes about 10 minutes to grill corn.

2. Portabella Mushroom Caps
Grill these whole and start with the gill side down first, then flip and finish with the cap side down to retain their moisture.

3. Zucchini
This works with round slices or lengthwise cuts. Just be sure to keep your slices about ½” thick so they don’t fall apart on the grill.

4. Asparagus
One of the best ways to enjoy asparagus, just make sure to keep an eye on them so they don’t fall through the grates.

5. Onions
Grilling onions turns down their heat and unlocks their sweetness. They’ll be tender but still crisp and are delicious just on their own.

6. Peppers
Bell, poblano, jalapeno, or shishito peppers are all winners on the grill. Just slice and seed them first.

Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years. My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday. Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change. Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds. I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons. Something was missing. I was thin, but I wasn't fit. I wasn't healthy. I could feel it in my insides. I was 136 pounds and a size 8. Something didn't add up. I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods. 90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4).

Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it. I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health. My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born. Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you. Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN. Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose.

Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business. Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at [email protected]
