Like, how do people “go out” on work nights? What tragic flaw do I have that makes this so impossible for me?
I was asked to go for a drink after work last night. Ok – a drink. I can handle this. I’ll still be home at a reasonable hour. Yes, this will be great!
I learned that, in the real world, a drink means two & turns into dinner & another. I have so much to learn.
I have not been out that late on a weeknight since probably 2011. I am LIBERATED.
I am also really freakin’ sleepy & have started an IV drip of coffee.
Time: 40 minutes (prep + cooking) | Serves: 6 skewers
Ingredients:
- 4 yellow squash, sliced thick
- 4 zucchini squash, sliced thick
- 1 red onion, sliced thick
- 1 cup of cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup of parsley, minced
- 1/2 cup of cilantro, minced
- 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp. of garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp. of oregano
- 1 tsp. of crushed red pepper
- 1/2 cup of olive oil
- S+P, to taste
- Brown rice, for serving
How to:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Put veggies on skewers in whatever order you desire (add/take away whatever you like)
- In a bowl, combine parsley + cilantro + red wine vinegar + lemon + garlic + oregano + crushed red pepper + olive oil + plenty of S+P
- Drizzle half of the chimichurri on the kebabs
- Roast for 20 minutes
- Drizzle the rest on + serve hot
- Use skewers as swords + fight to the death for the leftovers
Preeeeetty 🙂

Someone told me that Chimichurri was named after an Irish man called Jimmy Curry… A tale told in a pub wile we were just having “one drink” (1 drink = 4 pints) 🙂

Getting #WednesdayWasted is my new favorite thing! It’s just late enough in the week not to feel too bad (I mean drinking on a Tuesday, seriously) but just late enough in the week to bring you that much closer to Friday! Those look delish by the way. I’m trying to add a lot more vegetables to my diet but I’ve had just about enough of veggie stirfry’s!

I have the very same tragic flaw. Ugh!! I’ve never once said yes to drinks after work on a weeknight, maybe I, too, need liberation!

You at LEAST have to give it a try. In no way commit to making it a recurring thing or they will suck you in!
