Joy dot: red tailed hawk flying beside the road this morning on my way to work

We actually grill year round (usually chicken breast or pork tenderloin or boneless chop), because we don't have a regular oven with a broiler, just a tabletop convection oven. But in the summer, we make side dishes on the grill as well. My favorite is veggie or potato packets in foil. For the potatoes, we cut them up and add a bit of olive oil, and some garlic and onion. For the veggies, I just cut up a bunch of different vegetables and add olive oil or italian dressing. Then we seal them in foil and cook them on the grill. Another really good one is beets with olive oil and garlic cooked in foil on the grill.

We have 2 neighbors with big gardens, and they bring us gifts of vegetables, so often my summer cooking is determined by what goodies we get.

: Since spring has sprung, our grill
: has been removed from hibernation
: and back in business. One of my
: favorite dinners is skewered
: shrimp on the barbie over brown
: rice with a nice fresh organic

: olive oil/garlic marinade over the
: shrimp, and they are delicious.

: Another fav. of mine is
: sishkabobs(sp?) with onions,

: Would love to hear others' favorite
