Stephen's Favorite Veggies

My 9 year old son loves squash, zucchini, new potatoes, baby carrots, almost anything marinated in this ranch dressing based marinade. He will ask me to fix veggies like this and his daddy will even eat some of them.

1/2 cup ranch dressing 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary 1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon white vinegar 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste 1 tablespoon white sugar, or to taste (optional)

mix all ingredients and divide into 2 bowls (or baggies, if you like to marinate in a baggie) To the first container of marinade, add whatever fresh (or lightly steamed) veggies you like. I use squash, zucchini, broccoli, steamed carrots and new potatoes, I might try some okra this time. My youngest loves okra on the grill.

Use the second container of marinade for your meat. This is great on chicken, fish, beef, whatever. I am using chicken tenders tonight.

After everything has marinated for at least 30 minutes, grill everything and serve over rice. The extra marinade from the veggies makes a really good sauce.
