Barbequing

[Janice]

With the cane season coming, we may need some more barbequing ideas.

Do you have some good and fun things you cook on your grill.

I like the kabobs... cherry tomatoes, baby onions, green peppers, mushrooms, fresh, etc. They cook good and fast and serve as your vegetable for your meal. I also pam and season them well.

[Yarrah]

Yum, those kabobs sound pretty delicious. A corncob with tzatziki is my favourite barbecue food though.

[Janice]

Oh, I love corn on the cob cooked on the grill, I put mine in tin foil, is that how you do your?

[Yarrah]

Yes, otherwise you'll end up with a charred corncob if you don't pay enough attention to it. And I'm not really fond of charred food

[Janice]

Some people bbq it right in the husks.....I have never tried it tho.

I bbq corn in the husk.I soak the corn in water for about an hour before grilling.The husk still burns but the corn is perfect,with a nice grill flavor.

[Janice]

Thanks, I may try it.

We have a big Weber grill, but we also use our little grill with chips. Personally, John and I use the little grill all the time, can't beat the chip taste.

We grill halved tomatoes (or a good third sliced off the top), with Italian Dressing drizzled over them and sprinkled with parmesan cheese and basil. I'm sure there'd be a fancy dish to make these in but we still use doubled heavy duty foil 'cups'.

That's about as fancy as I get!

[Janice]

I am going to try that. I do that in the oven with pam, garlic, seasoning and shredded chedder or motz cheese. But I will definately try yours next. Thanks

I cook everything on the grill in the warmer months. Corn is great on the grill, we use foil with butter inside. Peppers are another favorite on the grill. I am currently learning how to use the gas grill as a smoker whick will add another aspect to it.

Any my tip for you Janice, replace Pam with olive oil. It will give you a better flavor and i think is probably healthier. You can also infuse all kids of flavors into olive oil so it compliments the food you are cooking.

[Janice]

Thanks, I will try that... I have been buying Butter and Garlic Pam and like it, but I will try the Olive Oil and see.

[Miss Mary]

And now you can purchase olive oil in a pump spray bottle, very similar to Pam. Mazola I belive makes it. It comes in both canola and olive oils. I use it all the time now since I'm trying to use aerosol cans less.

[Janice]

That is great news. I use olive oil in my salads, etc. But, the spray would be great.

I bbq corn in the husk.I soak the corn in water for about an hour before grilling.The husk still burns but the corn is perfect,with a nice grill flavor.

This is just how I do it, too. Nothing like barbecued corn on the cob, grilled in the husk.

And to think, all those other schlubs shuck their corn at the store and throw away that excellent free cooking container.

Tilapia (fish) basted in a sauce of butter, tony's creole seasoning and worchestire sauce.

[Janice]

Sounds yummy, mama. I will definately try it. Don't know if I can find the seasoning here. Do you know a good substitute seasoning, if I can't?

[CajunMama]

any kind of "cajun" seasoning should do. I'll post later tonight the ingredients of it. You may be able to make your own.

[Janice]

I have some McCormicks 1Step Cajun seasoning here at home. It might work.

[BreinLa]

Janice you can order the seasoning online, nothing else like it
