    Grilled Potato Skewers

    October 25, 2010 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom 2 Comments

    It seems that some variety of potatoes are on sale every week these days. I've had a bag of red potatoes that needed to be used.  And what a better way to use them, but with Grilled Steaks.  My Dad made steaks on the grill for us last week...and we had these grilled red potatoes on skewers and some grilled eggplant too. (The eggplant is made by slicing into 1/4 … [Read more...]

    So I'm just not that into plain burgers these days.

Here's one of my new favorite burgers... Grilled Taco … [Read more...]

    Batch Grilling Burgers

      Batch Grilling Chicken Breasts. Why not grill up a bunch of burgers in the same way!?! I went digging through the freezer and was surprised by how much ground beef that I had on hand.  Perfect for some batch burger grilling! Now we've got quite a few burgers in the freezer for a quick dinner, or lunch for the boys. I love making my own … [Read more...]
