Cajun-Style Grilled Foil Packets

You can’t go wrong with foil packets. They are a complete meal in one package.

These are especially tasty.

Mexican Pizza

Mexican Pizza it one of the quickest, easiest dinners that can be had. The whole family loves them.

This is a great faux version of the Taco Bell version of Mexican Pizza.

Crock pot Bacon Cheese Potatoes

I was a bit dubious of this dish when I  first saw it.

Actually it turned out to be great. Should have know it has bacon in it. 🙂

Apple and Poppy Seed Coleslaw

Who doesn’t like Coleslaw.

It is a great summer food. The ideal food for a hot summer day.

It is a great match for BBQ.

Court Bouillon – Poaching liquid

Recently I was looking for different methods of using leftover vegetables, herbs and such when I stumbled across this recipe by Alton Brown.

We haven’t tried this yet. In fact I don’t think we have ever poached anything other than an egg. But this looks like a very interesting way to infuse great flavor without adding calories. It also looks to be  a fantastic and frugal use of leftover veggies 🙂 and is even reusable. In fact, I found when reading about it that reusing the court-bouillon only intensifies the flavor.

What an intriguing idea.

Have any of you used anything like this before? If so, with what, if you don’t mind sharing?
