Sometimes a sweet snack is just the thing to hit the spot.  This week I discovered The Chef and the Dietitian.  Two ladies who are vegan and cook without oil, salt, or sugar.  This was one of their recipes.  It is quick, easy, and has 4 ingredients. If you want to see them making these little treats, go here.

Recipe - Tin Foil Dinner

There is nothing new in a tin foil dinner.  (Okay, technically an aluminum foil dinner.)  Campers have been eating them for a very long time, cooked in the coals of the fire.

A few nights ago we had this dinner.  No meat.  Potatoes, carrots, red onion, zucchini, Mrs. Dash spice blend, a few little slivers of butter on top.  Wrapped it in 3-4 layers of foil and grilled it on the top rack of the grill for about 40 minutes.

It was so delicious!  I wish I had put a bit of garlic on it.  Next time maybe a few more vegetables.  The biggest problem was wrapping it, because of the amount of food.  So I alternated which direction the foil went and got it all covered with 4 layers.  Maybe a bigger sized foil next time?

It would be a delicious dish to go with Black Bean Burgers, but it was all we had and was enough.
