Grilled Eggplant with Balsamic Honey (Agave Nectar) Syrup

Grilling Season is finally HERE in the snow belt! Many people ask me what I eat on a normal basis but when it comes to grilling they are REALLY interested! So, here's my first Vegetarian Grilling Post...Hubby and I are going to try and do more grilling this year so I will post my veg*n grilling adventures here as well. Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture, but the meal was wonderful! Tonight I had Grilled Eggplant with Balsamic Agave Nectar Syrup. I got the idea from Veggie Venture.

Why Agave Nectar? Or are you asking what IS Agave Nectar? Well, here are your answers! Agave Nectar is a vegan alternative to honey. You can learn more about Agave Nectar HERE.

Agave Nectar is approved by the Diabetic Association as well. The Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load is lower than other sweeteners.

But you could use Honey if you aren't vegan, diabetic, or as concerned about those sort of things.

Anyhow, the flavor consisted of Olive Oil, Minced Garlic, Balsamic Vinegar, and Agave Nectar. It was grill for about 15 minutes and it was the BEST Eggplant I have ever had!!! YUM!

Some Cards I've Made

Jen Blackwell inspired and encouraged me to start making cards. Here are a few that I have done in the past. I'm just starting out compared to some people but I absolutely love looking at other peoples cards, too, so if you have a blog, let me know!

This THINKING OF YOU Card was featured in the ReadySetCreate eMagazine! I was so excited!!!

I have been making cards and giving them out for Birthdays and Mothers Day and also a Baby Shower! And, yes, Dad, if you are reading this, you'll most likely be getting one for Father's Day!

This is just a fun little card I made during the ReadySetCreate Crop. We were to use rubber stamping in something. I have some rubber stamping supplies but haven't done much with them. So this was a good test! I enjoyed it and thought it was a good outcome for the first attempt.

I used colored pencils for the watermelon and the sunshine and "summer" lettering are stickers.

One of my Scrappin' Buddies requested some veg*n recipes so I will be posting some of those soon! Stay Tuned!

Thanks for reading!

And have a great weekend!
