June 20th's Tip
Grilling: In this season of grilling, you might consider grilling more veggies than meat. It's an eco-friendly choice, and healthier for you too! If you want to add tang, toss with black or clamata olives and feta; if you want more bite, add seasoned croutons and/or grated cheddar cheese -- all organic, of course! - contributed by Patty
I found a recipe for grilled new potatoes with garlic, which I haven't gotten to try yet, but it sounds delicious. The recipe says to place the potatoes on the grill over hot coals, but I imagine it would work find on other grills (hopefully, because we have an electric one!)

Since the 4th of July is on a Friday, I'll be looking for a good holiday related tip for that day. Next week's tip will be on preparing for the 4th of July from Green Girl, so be sure to come back then!
Also, I'm looking for more people to take part in our blog carnival, All Things Eco, which is posted every Monday.

I never really thought of grilling veggies, but I think I'd like it more than steamed or other ways. I definitely will have to spice it up, but it all should be good.

I prefer steamed over boiled, and grilled over steamed
Grills, even electric ones, help the flavor quite a bit, even before spices are added. Here are some grill recipes to try (one is really just how to grill corn, but since I've always boiled corn on the cob, I find it useful):

The first one says on grill over coals, but I imagine it would work fine on other grills (I haven't tried it yet, but I think it sounds delicious)

My family has long been using rechargeable batteries for our digicam and various remote controls for TV and DVD..
It will really save us a fortune and eliminate trash.

I have never grilled veggies before. Do they taste as good as cooked ones?

Every time i try grilling my veggies, I end up burning them. Nice tips here anyhow, I am sure not everyone is as dumb as me.

I own an electric grill, and the taste is not as good as the original grills. Anyhow I will try the tips too, and let you know how it resulted.

I like both steamed and grilled and I think that each thing has it's placed. In the summer I like things grilled and in the winter I like them steamed.
