Yum!

I love to cook. My mom was not the one who taught me how to cook, in fact, I think she's just learning herself. Sad but true, I learned how to cook by watching TV. The Food Network Channel taught me a lot about cooking. I don't take pictures of the food I make very often, but I might start and keep sort of a food blog. We'll see how far that goes. Anyway ...

As a vegetarian, I've eaten my fair share of vegetables. Some people focus more on the meats they eat than on their vegetables and their vegetables are very very bland. I focus a lot on vegetables because who wants to eat bland vegetables for 8 years? Not me. Anyway, this is one of my favorite salads. It has also become quite a favorite in my household as well so I make it quite often.

Kelsie's awesomely amazing grilled Italian salad.


Ingredients:
Romaine hearts
Kosher salt
Fresh cracked pepper
Olive oil
Homemade Italian dressing (or a really really good store bought)

Take as many romaine hearts as you want and cut them in half. Drizzle olive oil over the inside and sprinkle with kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper. Then drizzle with homemade Italian dressing. Put on grill and leave there until warm all the way through and until the lettuce has char marks on it. (over cooking it doesn't taste bad, but I like mine better crunchy). When the lettuce is done on both sides cut into pieces and toss with more dressing to taste. Yum!


P.S. I'm usually very VERY secretive about my recipes, so I am a little surprised I'm sharing this with everybody. :)
