Fourth O' July Cookout Ideas

Dear friends,
Are you having trouble deciding what to cook/grill up tonight? Do you really like fruits and veggies? Are you or do you have a guest that is vegetarian and have noooo ideas for veggie friendly foods? No worries I got you're back :)
Let's start with a classic:

Black Bean Burger
These baby's are grill-able but you may want to use a piece of foil underneath them just incase (and to prevent sticking)
Grownup PB&J
What's not to love about this? PB&J all grown up and full of flavor!

Grilled Veggies
Grill up some veggies! Just remember to use sturdier vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, portobellas, onions, asparagus, potatoes (not technically a veggie I know), carrots, ect. Cut them thicker (1/2" or a little more) and length-wise so they won't fall between the grates. Or just use a grill basket.
Honey Mustard Tofu
Chipotle-Rubbed Tofu
Tofu work's fabulously on the grill! Just remember to slice it long enough so that it doesn't fall between the grates (or use foil/grill basket)
Miso-Garlic Broiled Eggplant
Baked Plantains
Although I broiled and baked these, you could just as easily prepare them on a grill (just remember to slice the plantains length-wise).

And last but certainly not least, some easy-peasy sweet treats!
Homemade Peanut Butter Cups
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Hipster-Monkeys (Roasted Banana Nutella Whole Wheat Cookies)
Happy Forth Toast!!
