One of the most fantastic things about the summer is grilling, but usually I'd worry about a lot of calories and fat.
I'm a mostly vegetarian, too, but with my kick towards healthy organic food and staying away from overprocessed garbage, I needed to find some exciting alternatives.
Honestly, if you're not eating meat, and instead are eating Soy Dogs and Soy Burgers and these other products that seem to have so many chemicals in them to give them the taste and texture of meat... well, why bother?
One of my absolute favorite things to grill is BEETS. We bought these beets & corn at Butler's Orchard the day of. They were extremely reasonably priced, too - the corn was 12 for less than $6!
For really tasty beets, you leave them on the grill between 1.5-2 hours, and they're just warm and delicious. Though they definitely stain your fingers and teeth if you're not careful!
The corn is also delicious - you need to wet it down and get rid of some of the hairs before grilling it, and grill it with the husk ON. Be careful, though, it can catch fire!!

Grilling with the husk on is worthless! It's the same as steaming. Grill with the husk pulled back like a handle, a TINY bit of olive Oil brushed on, black pepper. Corn gets smoky, lightly browned in minutes. Best. Thing. Ever.
