It's super easy!
Just think of a combo of veggies that you like.
I cut harder vegetables (like carrots, Brussels sprouts and potatoes) into smaller pieces, and leave things like peppers, mushrooms, snowpeas, etc. larger, this way they all cook up at about the same time.
Get a sheet of foil that's large enough to hold all of the veggies and still fold over (like a gift!) so nothing drips out.
Take the foil, put some olive oil on it (about a tablespoon), put half the veggies on top, a little more oil, then any spices you like. Then the rest of the veggies. Fold the foil around the vegetables and throw on the grill. Turn after about 7-8 minutes and check them about 3-4 minutes later. Once they're a little browned and you can stick a fork through them, they're done!
I've also taken peppers, sugar snap peas, snow peas and water chestnuts, used sesame oil, a little soy sauce and sesame seeds for a more Asian vibe.
Also works with pineapple! Pineapple and some hot/tangy BBQ sauce (don't use oil)...good lord is that delicious!

do you have a recipe for the crispy gnocchi you can share?
Sure, I usually make it with pesto and toasted pine nuts but I have tomato sauce in the freezer I need to use up. Instead of boiling, I just fry the gnocchi (I use the baby ones, but you can use the big ones too) in a little olive oil. Fry in a single layer and don't move them for like 3 minutes until they get a crust on the bottom, then you can mix them around and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Add sauce and cheese at the end and you're done. Super easy.

Re: Weekly menu - 5/19
Saturday - We had a communion party
Sunday - We ordered in sushi; I made Emily Bites Zucchini and Chocolate Chip Muffins to freeze for breakfast/snacks, too.
Monday - Skinnytaste chicken cordon bleu rolls with Skinnytaste baked rice and peas and a side of streamed zucchini
Tuesday - Emily Bites Bubble Up Enchilada Casserole
Wed - I have late showings with a buyer client, so I will probably make Skinnytaste Meditteranean Quinoa Salad early in the day and eat it when I get home
Thurs - DS has t-ball, so we'll probably eat the enchilada casserole leftovers
Friday - I haven't really planned and I may have to work late, so probably "refrigerator/freezer pot luck"!
