Genius. This idea is completely and utterly genius. Jen shared this idea with me not long ago. Therefore, Jen is a genius. I only wish I'd thought of it myself, so I too could be a genius. Like Jen. I'm all for batch cooking...do it all the time. But batch grilling. Genius. It's just so smart. (Smart doesn't cut it. Genius it is. I was trying to … [Read more...]

Salmon & Asparagus Foil Packs
Before you get all "but salmon isn't a $5 Dinner" on me...hear me out... This is one of our newer MyFreezEasy recipes and I wanted to share it hear because it's so simple, yet so delicious! It's an "herb compound butter" that melts all over the salmon in the foil pack and the asparagus steams inside the pack while the salmon is cooking. It's a magical foil-pack meal and I … [Read more...]

Grilled Cajun Salmon
Yes, salmon is expensive. It's a treat for our family and I'm trying to make it more and more, as fish is so healthy and the omegas and good fats do the body good. All of my boys adore salmon - partly because it's a treat and partly because I know how to doctor it well. ;) This is well doctored and perfectly grilled salmon! (It's not at all as spicy as it looks...that red … [Read more...]
Buffalo Wing Foil Packs, for the Grill!
In the recent past, our family has become slightly obsessed with the buffalo wing sauce plus Ranch dressing combo. We've made nachos, tacos, burritos, shredded chicken for salads, and now these foil packs. It's silly simple: mix up the Ranch and buffalo wing sauce. Pour over wings, then wrap in foil. Grill or bake, as directed! Then, top with crumbled blue cheese and even … [Read more...]
Garlic Chicken Kebabs
Grill time!! These Garlic Chicken Kebabs will rock your socks off and here's why. The chicken marinates in a simple, homemade lemon and garlic marinade. The acidity from the lemon juice both softens and adds flavor to the chicken. The end result is a perfect bite of chicken, waiting for you on the kebab. And if you're wondering if these are freezer friendly, the answer is … [Read more...]
Grilled Chicken Thighs with Chile-Herb Sauce
There's a silly amount of flavor in this amazing chicken! The marinade is out of this world...top it all off with a fresh chile-herb sauce and you'll be in grilled chicken heaven. (Is there such a place??) I love to grill in the summer - it's so relaxing. Spending time outside by the grill, sipping on a cold beverage, grilling up some delicious chicken and not stressing … [Read more...]
Moroccan Burgers
Omgoodness, I love homemade burger patties! There's so many different flavor combos you could come up with and these Moroccan burgers are YUM-next-level-YUM! The patties are made with grated onion, fresh parsley and some other spices to give them a hint of Morocco. Then, they are topped with caramelized onions. Yes, they are worth the wait! Start caramelizing … [Read more...]
Grilled Balsamic Chicken Salad
This might be the very best grilled chicken I've ever made. Why? Because of the balsamic vinegar marinade AND the balsamic glaze that I brushed on. I've found that when you grill chicken (and other meats) that the marinade soaks into the meat but then drips down into the grill. This does NOT happen with this glaze!! We do soak the chicken in a marinade, so the meat … [Read more...]
