roasted bell peppers...take some bell peppers (all different colors) and quarter and seed them. Put them in a big ziploc with 3 cloves diced garlic, 1 tsp or so balsamic vinegar, 3 tbs of olive oil and salt and pepper. toss them up and let them marinate for 15 min to 3 hours. Put them skin side down on the grill (be careful...the oil will make the fire jump) and roast for about 3-5 minutes (until you see black streaks on the skins) sprinkle them with feta. YUM

OMG that sounds so good!!! Thank you for your recipe!!! Now I have to finish fixing dinner ... at least my monitor is clean from licking it. LOL

Grilled Mexican Corn


Ingredients
4 ears corn
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 lime, juiced
Red chili powder, to taste
2 limes cut into wedges, for garnish

Directions

Remove the husks of the corn but leave the core attached at the end so you have something to hold onto. Grill the corn on a hot grill or cast iron griddle pan until slightly charred. Turn it so it gets cooked evenly all over. Mix the mayonnaise, sour cream and cilantro together. Grate the Parmesan in another bowl. While the corn is still warm slather with mayonnaise mix. Squeeze lime juice over the corn and shower with Parmesan. Season with chili powder and serve with extra lime wedges.

Foiled pack grilled shrimp. A favorite in our house:

Pull out some tinfoil and spread out your uncooked shrimp, drizzle some olive oil over them and either lime or lemon juice, and favorite seasoning. (I use perfect pinch lemon herb) Set on grill rack over low coals and cook through. Delicious and healthy.

inside out hamburgers or turkey burgers...

mix the meat with a little garlic powder, red pepper and black pepper. pound them really thin. put one patty and then whatever you want....cheese, bacon, green chiles, salsa, roast peppers (see above) and put another thin patty on top. Seal the edges...really tight....grill like normal. It really makes the burgers juicy and it is so fun to assemble!

Here is my favorite BBQ... Walk to the freezer in garage take out a T-Bone steak , let it defrost and throw on the grill with garlic salt and use one of dean's Bud Light Lime beer to create a mist to bbq the steak in while drinking the rest of the beer as it cooks..... roflmaoooooooo. actually all I do is get the T-Bone dean BBQ's it and drinks .....lol.

P.S does this count... rofl

But of course it counts, may I borrow Dean? LOL

My hubby grills thick, fresh pineapple slices when he grills a pork loin. They go so good together.

BBQ Candied Carrots

These taste just like you cooked them with Brown Sugar...But there is absolutely NO Sugar used !

Things you will need... Carrots, Butter, Aluminum Foil.
Approx. cooking time...1 - 1 1/2 hours.

Take carrots and wash and peel them. cut into approx 3" - 4" pieces &
then Julienne them. Tear off foil into approx 6" squared pieces.

On each piece of foil place about 8 carrots. Add a pat of Butter (1 tsp.) Then fold up as follows...Grab the top and bottom ends and bring together, fold down 1/4" at a time until tight, then bring sides up & fold in towards the middle & press down firmly.

salt and pepper

make a foil packets and seal ingredients inside. Cook in the hot coals of a fire for about 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked and potatoes are tender.

How to make a Microwaved Baked Potato cook and taste like it was Baked in the oven without all the heat of an oven.

Wash potatoes, then puncture with a fork 2 times in the top, then take a knife and insert in each end approx 1 inch (this helps potato to cook more evenly).

Place in microwave and cook for approx. 8 to 10 minutes depending on how many potatoes you are cooking it may take a little longer. When potatoes are done immediately take out of microwave and wrap each potato in aluminum foil as you would if baking in the oven. Place on rack of oven and let set for 20 min.

This allows the potato to continue cooking & "Fluff up" without all the heat of turning the oven on. They will be more fluffy and taste just like an oven baked potato...And no one will know that it was cooked in the microwave!
