Daylight is shrinking around here. No doubt, fall is on the approach. Tell that, however, to all the summer squash, sweet corn, and multi-colored peppers that currently overflow local farmers market stands. The veg surplus proves perfect for early fall cooking inspiration.

Whenever I fire up a grill, I add slabs of squash, whole peppers, thick slices of onion, and eggplant to render them tender for handy meal additions. Grilling vegetables adds the golden flavors of cooking over fire.
