POTATOES IN FOIL ON THE GRILL

A very simple recipe that many probably have their own version of, but wanted to share anyway.  And record, too, I guess.

Ingredients:
8 medium potatoes
2 small onions
8 tsp butter
2 tsp minced garlic
Lawry's Seasoning Salt
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt
Pepper

Wash and cut potatoes into wedges, taking out any bad spots.  Cut onions into slices.  Pile potatoes and onions on to a large piece of foil.  Spoon butter onto potatoes in different spots.  Also spoon minced garlic onto potatoes.  Sprinkle with seasonings.  Mix around to get everything covered in spices.  You could also add olive oil instead of butter, but I didn't think of that today.


Turn up sides to make a kind of bowl/container and add more foil to the top.  Seal all sides.


Cook on grill for about an hour or until potatoes are done.

Serve hot with butter, seasonings, sour cream, gravy, ketchup, etc. Whatever your family prefers.  Jesse and the kids mash them up and put sour cream on them.  I like to dunk them in ketchup like fries.

PORK CHOW MEIN This is a simple Pork Chow Mein recipe I developed using a La Choy canned chow mein meal.  We used to just use the canned chow mein as is, but as our tastes have changed, we wanted more flavor, more complexity.  So, by adding fresh pork (chicken or beef would work, too) and some fresh veggies, we made a much better meal! Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds pork loin (we use whatever is cheapest, have tenderloin and even pork chops) 1 can La Choy Chicken Chow Mein 1 can Water Chestnuts 3/4 stalk of celery 1/2 carton fresh mushrooms 2 jalapeno peppers (could use green peppers or other peppers) 1 onion Minced Garlic Teriyaki sauce Soy sauce Sweet and Sour sauce Sesame Oil Olive Oil Rice Wine Vinegar Pepper Ground Ginger Onion Powder Garlic Powder Garlic Salt Salt Lime Juice Drain canned veggies. Dice and chop onion, jalapenos, mushrooms and celery. Cut pork into bite size pieces. Add olive oil (1 tb...

CHICKEN ALFREDO BAKED ZITI We were going to visit relatives at their lake place and they wanted pasta for dinner, like Alfredo.  Jesse said I make really good red sauces, but have never made a great white sauce.  I kind of agreed - it just wasn't something I did often because when I had it wasn't really special enough to stand out. Never to be discouraged, I did a little research and found some recipes for Chicken Alfredo Baked Ziti.  Using ziti in a casserole version fit our purposes, rather than fettuccine with Alfredo sauce.  Using ideas from two pins  (see Pinspirations at bottom) , I created my own .  I made each component and stored them separately  overnight.  In the morning I layered them in a cake pan and packed them in the cooler to be made that evening in the oven. It was AWESOME!  They were all impressed, especially Jesse.  He's never been a huge fan of chicken or Alfredo because it tends to be bla...

SWEDISH MEATBALLS There was several different kinds of meatballs at a recent holiday potluck I was at and I found myself checking them, trying to determine if they were homemade or pre-made frozen ones (i.e. Simek's).  At one time I thought the pre-made ones were great, but my tastes have matured.  Now I can't stand them!  Thus, I find myself being picky at a potluck-LOL!  Thankfully, for once, two of the three were homemade.  Yey! Fast forward a few days and I'm thinking about what to make for Sunday dinner and I thought of Swedish Meatballs.  I've had ones that others make and loved them.  However, I have never made them myself.  Why not?  Who knows?  I think I thought they were too much trouble to roll out.  Anyway, went searching on Pinterest this morning and found two I thought were good.   Below is my adaptation of these two recipes: * http://lifewithmel.com/cookingwithmel/2012/3/9/swedish-meatballs-w-crea...
