These grilled carrots have a lovely sweet and smoky caramelized flavor, and are a nice change of pace at a summer cookout or dinner party. Use carrots that are no larger than 3/4-inch thick, or cut larger carrots in half lengthwise for even cooking. One pound should yield 6 to 8 medium carrots.
Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots , peeled and trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Pasta e Fagioli a la Chez Ivano
I have been preparing this magnificent pasta and bean soup, unchanged for over 30 years, and confess that of the very many Pasta e Fagioli I have tasted none even came close to a reasonable comparison to this superb dish Italiano. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Have many Chicago hard rolls, red wine, baguettes or garlic bread on hand. BUON APPETITO!
Watermelon Salad
This watermelon salad is a surprising yet delicious combination of sweet watermelon, red onion, cucumber, and salty feta cheese. It makes the perfect summer party side dish.
