Jambalaya Kebabs
All the flavors of Jambalaya on a stick...yyyy'aaaaalllll! *said in my best southern LA drawl* We've got shrimp. We've got chicken. We've got onions and peppers. We've got tomatoes. And we've got a whole-whole-whole lotta Cajun seasoning too! I served this over white rice to give it a 'complete Jambalaya feel.' Only thing missing from these kebabs are slices of … [Read more...]
Grilled Corn on the Cob
When Silver Queen corn finds its way into grocery stores in August, I need you to make this. Yes...NEED. I really need you to make this. I don't want you to make it. I need you to make it. But be warned, you might not ever want to cook corn any other way. There's just something about corn being grilled and butter and herbs infiltrating the kernels as it cooks in its … [Read more...]

Grilled Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwich
I had to sneak in a kid favorite into this series. This is your basic peanut butter-banana sandwich with a few secret ingredients...grilled to perfection. But note, this isn't just for the kids. I loved this sandwich and have made it several times in the recent past. I just love how the peanut butter gets perfectly ooey gooey when you grill it. You could grill this on a … [Read more...]
Grilled Doughnuts Strawberry Shortcake
When I was pulling together old recipes and new ideas for this 31 Day series, I thought...I'll include some dessert recipes at the end of the month because dessert comes at the end of the meal. We should top off the series with some grilling dessert recipes. Then I thought... NO WAY. Let's start with dessert. So I added this ridiculously delicious dessert recipe on day 2. … [Read more...]
Asian Chicken & Veggie Foil Packs
Simple & tasty...that's my dinner-hour motto! This Asian Chicken & Veggie Grill Packs are just that...2 main ingredients plus a homemade Asian marinade...and done! Marinate the chicken, add to 'packet' of foil with some veggies and throw it on the grill. Serve it over or next to some rice. (Or if you're like me, you'll grill some garlic bread and serve with … [Read more...]
Sun-Dried Tomato & Parmesan Pasta Bake
Let me tell you where this meal comes from. It comes from the fact that I absolutely adore this skillet recipe (and thought it needed an oven-version!)...AND...the fact that I have a jar of sun-dried tomatoes leftover from the recent 20 Meals for $150 meal plan! I love sun-dried tomatoes and the flavor that they add to a meal, especially pasta. This pasta bake calls for … [Read more...]
Creamy Tomato Soup with Homemade Pesto
So it's hot. And you might think that I'm a little silly for sharing a soup recipe in the summer. But I'm having this soup chilled. Although, you could certainly warm this up. The homemade basil pesto is an absolutely lovely complement to the chilled tomato soup. As I took each bite (do you bite soup? maybe slurp? but that sounds so un-lady like?), I would grab a … [Read more...]
