Ready, Set, Grill

If you have diabetes, grilling is a great way to prepare meals. Here's how to make the most of a healthy barbecue.

Sure, firing up the barbecue or gas grill provides you with a sociable, relaxing time in the backyard, which is an instant stress buster. But it’s particularly beneficial for people with diabetes because grilling happens to be a healthy cooking technique. Grilled foods typically don’t require high-fat sauces or accompaniments. And much of the fat drips away and never makes it to your plate. Here are a few ways to make your outdoor cooking even more healthful.

Bypass burgers and fill the grill with seafood and lean cuts of meat. You don’t have to gorge on fatty burgers and bratwursts just because you’re cooking outside. Healthier choices include skinless chicken breasts, beef tenderloin or sirloin, and fish.

Disrobe your chicken. Or you can leave the skin on while it’s cooking to seal in moisture, and pull it off afterward. It will save you a load of saturated fat—which hampers insulin sensitivity and increases the risk of heart disease—and calories.

Bathe meats in a vinegar-based marinade. A study conducted at Arizona State University found that eating 4 tablespoons of cider vinegar before eating a high glycemic-index meal (one that includes foods that tend to raise blood sugar quickly) lowered the effect of the meal on participants’ blood sugar by about 55 percent. Low-fat Italian vinaigrette salad dressing with extra vinegar added will even do the trick. You also can experiment with your own marinades using vinegar, olive oil, wine, lemon juice, lime juice, garlic, and herbs.

Splurge on grilling lessons. Grilling may seem simple, and it is—if you know how to do it properly. You’d be surprised at how valuable even a few simple grilling secrets can be. Do you know how often to flip a piece of meat and when to do it? How to tell when the food is done without cutting into it? The more you know, the more fun you’ll have. For a special event such as a milestone birthday or anniversary, consider hiring a chef to come to your backyard. He can whip up a meal for your party and work in a lesson. Ask him to focus on healthy foods that you don’t know how to grill—say, salmon fillets, scallops, or pork loin. The more healthy dishes you’re excited to cook at home, the fewer calories (and dollars) you’ll waste at restaurants.

Skewer some squash, portabello mushrooms, eggplant, and zucchini. Many of your favorite fruits and vegetables will pick up an alluring new taste when grilled. Sliced squash, eggplant, bell pepper, portabello mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, pineapple, peaches, and apricots all fare well on a grill. Coat veggies with a little olive oil before adding to the grill. For small or thin slices that might fall through the bars of your grill grate, use skewers or special grilling baskets, which you can buy in home improvement and cooking stores.

Grill delicate foods in packets. Making dinner on the grill doesn’t automatically mean charbroiled meat and corn on the cob. Packet cooking lets you cook all sorts of foods on the grill. Just center the ingredients on a large sheet of aluminum foil, add a little olive oil or broth, then fold up the sides, leaving some room for steam to circulate inside. Set the packets on the grill. This strategy works particularly well for delicate or quick-cooking foods, such as fish and boneless chicken breast. Even lean meats stay tender. Put out a variety of vegetables (bell peppers, onion, snap peas, corn, etc.) and seasonings and let each member of the family design his or her own packet.

Texas-Style Barbecued Chicken

Texas is known for its amazing barbecues, so of course this grilled Texas-style chicken recipe is out of this world.

Enjoy delicious barbecued chicken with these recipes for Texas, Tar-Heel, and Jamaican styles.

Prep time: 1 hour
Cooking time: about 1 hour

You Will Need
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup bourbon
1/2 cup canned reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup molasses
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
Zest and juice of 1 lemon (about 2 teaspoons zest, 4 1/2 teaspoons juice)
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
1 boiler-fryer (3 to 3 1/2 pounds), quartered

What to Do
1. In a medium saucepan over moderate heat, heat oil 1 minute. Add onion and celery and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft -- about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 2 minutes more.

2. Add ketchup, bourbon, broth, molasses, vinegar, mustard, lemon zest and juice, and hot red pepper sauce and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes; set aside or cool, store in a container with a tight-fitting lid, and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

3. Gently pull the skin back from the chicken to expose the flesh but do not tear or remove it. Place in a large self-sealing plastic bag, add half the sauce, seal, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. Refrigerate remaining sauce until ready to use.

4. Preheat the grill or broiler. Remove chicken from bag, reserving sauce. Smooth chicken skin back into place and arrange chicken, skin side down, 5 inches above a drip pan over glowing coals. Cover the grill, leaving the vents halfway open (or adjusting for the wind and outdoor temperature). Cook chicken, turning once, until both sides are browned -- 15 to 20 minutes. Brush chicken generously with sauce and continue grilling and basting, turning once, until the meat near the thigh bone is no longer pink when cut -- 25 to 30 minutes more. Note: To broil in the oven, place chicken, skin side down, 7 to 9 inches from the heat and broil 5 minutes more. Turn chicken and continue broiling and basting about 15 minutes more.

5. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, heat the refrigerated sauce from Step 3 until hot and bubbly. Serve as a dipping sauce with the barbecued chicken.

the camp-fire is a brilliant way of cooking, especially when its in tinfoil like the picture, for some reason it tastes better when cooked in a open fire then on a grill, maybe thast just me.

heres some backwards cooking things

Egg in an Orange

Cut an orange in half. Scoop out the flesh inside and eat it be careful not to cut through the skin! Now ***** an egg into the skin and place on the embers of the fire until the egg is cooked.
Spud Egg / Egg in a potato

Cut the top off a potato of and scoop a hole in the middle. ***** the egg into the hole, put the top back in place and secure with small wooden pegs. Bake until the potato is cooked.
Backwoods Mince

You can cook mince meat inside all sorts of vegetable containers: orange peels, hollowed-out potatoes, onions, gem squash, butternut, or even cabbage leaves.
Kebab

Use a green stick to spear slices of bacon, mushrooms, sausage, carrot, tomato, peppers, and pieces of pork. Support the skewer over glowing embers turning occasionally. Eat when the meat is crisp and golden brown.
Cabbage hot dogs

Lay sliced onion on a cabbage leaf, add a sausage or two and place more onions on top. Wrap up the cabbage leaf tightly and secure with a number of small green sticks. Place in embers for about 7 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
Banana hot dogs

Take a banana and cut a slit in the peel down the inside of the curve, and open it outwards. Remove the banana and feed it to a passing baboon or a nearby Scout. Now put a sausage inside the banana peel and cook it directly on the coals.
Preparing fish

You will need to clean and gut any fish before you cook it. The fish should be cleaned as follows:

Wash the fish thoroughly in clean water.

Remove the scales by scraping with the back of a knife (not the shape edge), working from the tail towards the head!

Cut the spine at a point just behind the gills and tear the head off with a steady, slow. forward motion.

If you are careful, the fish innards will come out with it!

Slice the belly open from tail to gills and thoroughly clean the inside.

Finally, cut of the fins and tail and cook as desired.
Steamed Fish

Make a fire that is long enough for the length of the fish and more than wide enough. Let this burn down to a good bed of embers. Meanwhile prepare the fish and clean it thoroughly. Cut a lot of grass to use for the steaming. (If you cut it instead of pulling it up, the grass can grow back.) Place a good layer on top of the coals. Put the fish on top of the grass and place more grass on top. Then cover the fire and grass with earth and pack it down. Wait for 30 minutes and uncover. You really need to ensure you have a good bed of embers to be successful. If you are by the sea shore, then the same method can be used with seaweed instead of grass.
Other methods for fish

Wrapped in a cabbage leaf, or grilled on a grid make from twigs. Or pin the fish flesh side forward on a plank or piece of flat board and cook by reflected heat from the fire. For real style, place a knob of butter on the fish when it is cooking and later a splash of lemon delicious.
Pit Oven / Fiji Oven

Dig a pit, or use a natural depression in the ground. Light a fire in this and build it up, including as many rocks as you can find.

DO NOT use flint or rocks from a river bed, as the heat can cause them to explode from the water expanding inside them.

When you have a good bed of embers, wrap your food up in leaves, or on a bed of grass (see above) and cover the top of the hole over with sticks. Over this lay sacking or mats and then cover this over with earth. Make sure you seal in around the edges. Leave for 2 hours and then uncover and enjoy. One tip though, if you are cooking for a larger number of people, then put more embers over the top of the food to ensure it cooks.
Boiling in a paper bag

It is possible to use a paper bag to boil water. The water inside will prevent the bag from burning. The trick is to ensure that the heat only touches that part of the bag that the liquid is in contact with so it can absorb the heat.
Frying

You will need some form of pan or grill base, usually a flat stone which is placed in the fire to heat it up. The stone is then cleaned off and food fried on it. It may be necessary to place small pieces of twig around such things as eggs to stop them rolling off the stone.
Grilling

For this method, you will need to make a grid or mesh out of green sticks, and grill your food over a hot bed of embers. Remember that some types of wood are poisonous and should not be used.
Chocolate banana

Cut a slit length ways in the banana and insert some pieces of chocolate. Wrap the whole lot in foil and place in the embers. Eat once the chocolate melts.
Sausage Casserole

INGREDIENTS:

* 1 or 2 sausages
* 1 stalk of broccoli
* 1 stalk of cauliflower
* 1 carrot
* aluminum foil

PREPARATION:

Place all ingredients onto a piece of foil and wrap it up tightly. Leave two handles on the ends to pick it up with. Place in coals of fire and leave for 5-10 minutes until everything is cooked.

I've actually done a few of these as i was with the scouts for a few years when i was younger

Cool School Lunch Ideas.

Looking for creative school lunch ideas? Want to step outside the sandwich zone for something new, different and tasty enough to appeal to even the pickiest eaters? Read on! These 10 easy lunch recipes are so delish, they wouldn't dare trade them!

Turkey, bacon and cheese make these wraps flavorful.



Pre-cooked bacon makes them easy to prepare.
The secret to making delicious turkey wraps is grilling the wraps, so the cheese gets melted and the tortillas get crispy.
If you're making these turkey bacon wraps for school lunches, and you want the kids to be able to eat them warm, pack them in an insulated lunch box. Or the kids can just eat the wraps cold.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
4 slices pre-cooked bacon
1 tsp. olive oil
2 10-inch flour tortillas
1/2 pound deli sliced turkey breast
2 slices cheddar cheese
Preparation:
Warm bacon according to package directions.

Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.

Lay turkey breast and one cheese slice on half of each tortilla. Top with bacon slices. Roll up like a fajita, folding the bottom up to secure.

When oil is hot, lay turkey wraps, seam side down in the skillet. Cook 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook another 1-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is browned.

High in protein and vitamin A, hard boiled eggs make a tasty, lunch box treat, because you can make them in advance.

This is my fool-proof recipe for perfect hard boiled eggs.



Once you learn how to boil an egg perfectly, you can make everything from deviled eggs to perfectly-cooked hard-boiled eggs whenever you want.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 15 minutes
Here's How:
Bring the eggs to room temperature by placing them in a bowl of warm water for five minutes.

Drain the eggs and transfer to a saucepan. Pour enough cold tap water over the eggs, so that the water covers the eggs by an inch to an inch-and-a-half.
Partially cover the eggs with a lid.
Bring to a full, rolling boil over medium-high heat. Allow the eggs to boil for exactly 30 seconds (time it).
Immediately remove the pan from the stove and cover completely with a lid. Let eggs stand, covered, for 15 minutes.
Remove cover, place a few ice cubes in the pan with the eggs, and run cold water over eggs.
Tap each egg gently, and peel under cold, running water.

Bologna and Cheese Rollups.



With kids, it's all about the presentation. These rollups look fun to eat, and they take only minutes to prepare. Younger kids, especially, like to find these rollups in their lunch boxes.

Whether you're throwing a party, or you just want to jazz up everyday bologna and cheese, these rollups are a great finger food for kids.
For a Hollywood or Oscar-themed party, they become "red carpet" rollups. (Get it? Red from the bologna?) For lunch, they're just fun finger food. Or serve them as an appetizer while the kids are waiting for dinner. Use your favorite mustard for a dipping sauce.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
4 slices bologna
4 unwrapped cheese sticks
mustard for dipping
Preparation:
Lay one slice of bologna on a plate. Top with a cheese stick. Roll the bologna around the cheese stick, jelly-roll style.

Cut into thirds. Secure with toothpicks.

Repeat with remaining bologna slices and cheese sticks. Serve with your favorite mustard as a dipping sauce.
Makes 2 servings.

Chocolate Pretzel Peanut Butter Stars.



Say goodbye to boring peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. This homemade chocolate pretzel peanut butter is just as nutritious as store-bought peanut butter (with no hydrogenated oils) and it tastes divine.

Peanut butter sandwiches can be as simple or as fancy as you like. The main attraction of these star peanut butter sandwiches is the homemade chocolate pretzel peanut butter.
If you were to buy this gourmet peanut butter from a specialty store, you'd have to pay $7 to $10 a jar. This recipe costs just pennies, and it takes less than 10 minutes to whip up.

Serve these chocolate peanut butter star sandwiches for an Oscar-themed party, a kids' birthday tea party, or just your average weekday lunch.

Ingredients:
2 cups honey roasted peanuts
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Ghirardelli 60% cacao chocolate chips)
2-4 Tbsp. peanut oil
1/3 cup broken pretzel pieces (not completely crushed; approximately 1/4-inch pieces)
4 slices sandwich bread
Preparation:
Place the peanuts and chocolate chips in the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade.

Cover and process approximately 5 minutes, stopping to scrape down occasionally, until the mixture starts to become the texture of a thick paste.

Scrape down sides. Slowly drizzle in the peanut oil, one tablespoon at a time, to give the peanut butter a chance to emulsify. Add only enough oil to make the peanut butter the consistency you like.

Transfer the chocolate peanut butter to a bowl. Stir in the pretzel pieces.

Spread two tablespoons of the chocolate pretzel peanut butter on one side of two slices of bread. Top with the remaining two slices of bread to make two sandwiches. Cut out using star cookie cutters.
Makes 2-4 star peanut butter sandwiches, depending on the size of your cookie cutters.

Macaroni and Cheese with a Hidden Vegetable.



Creamy, cheesy and healthy, this macaroni and cheese recipe has a hidden vegetable inside.

Macaroni and Cheese

Heat butter in a heavy, medium saucepan over medium heat, until melted.

Whisk in flour. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.

Season with salt. Add hot sauce.

Add milk, stirring frequently, until thickened, 3-5 minutes.

Roast Beef Wraps.



Deli roast beef and cheddar cheese are wrapped in tortillas for this tasty lunch recipe. I grill these wraps in a George Foreman grill, then let the kids eat them cold.

I make these roast beef wraps on an indoor grill (such as a George Foreman), so the cheese melts, and the tortillas get crispy.

Hot Dog Soup.



This hot dog soup recipe is a hearty, satisfying meal the kids will go wild over. This creamy tomato-based soup gets punched up with hot dogs and bacon.

This hot dog soup recipe is sure to be a hit with the kids. Almost like a bean and ham soup, this hot dog soup is a creamy, tomato-based soup with a salty punch, thanks to the hot dogs and bacon.
Ingredients:
4 slices bacon
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
3 large carrots, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 quart chicken broth
1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes in juice
1 16 oz. can cannellini beans (white kidney beans), rinsed and drained
2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
7 hot dogs, cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
kosher salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Fry bacon in a large, heavy saucepan or dutch oven.

Drain on paper towels.

Add olive oil to the bacon drippings. Add onions, celery, carrots. Cook 3 to 5 minutes until vegetables start to soften.

Add garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Be careful not to let garlic burn.

Add broth, tomatoes, cannellini beans and potatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and allow vegetables to simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork.

Use an immersion blender to puree soup. Or allow soup to cool for 10 minutes, then transfer in batches to a Vita Mix blender or regular blender to puree. Return to pot.

Add hot dogs, crushed red pepper flakes and salt and pepper. Cook another 7-10 minutes until hot dogs are done. Taste and adjust seasonings before serving.

Cream Cheese and Jelly Sandwiches.



Kids love the combination of cream cheese and jelly. The rice cakes make a nice "bread" for this sandwich, because they keep the sandwich from getting soggy.

This cream cheese and jelly sandwich is perfect for school lunches. It doesn't get soggy, and kids love this unique sandwich. Just be sure to pack a cold pack, so the cream cheese stays fresh.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
2 rice cakes (any flavor)
2 Tbsp. whipped cream cheese (it's easier to spread than regular cream cheese)
2 Tbsp. strawberry jelly
Preparation:
Spread one tablespoon of cream cheese on each rice cake.

Top with one tablespoon, each, of jelly.

Put the sandwich together, with the jelly sides facing each other.
Serve immediately.

Mexican Rice.



This is a great make-ahead lunch recipe that's a meal in one dish. Rice, black beans, canned tomatoes, cheese and corn add flavor and nutrients to this healthy lunch recipe. Pack in a thermos, or heat up this rice before serving.

This Mexican rice recipe is made in the oven in one pot. You'll need an enameled cast iron dutch oven (Compare Prices) for this recipe, which uses a unique method of cooking an entire meal in one pot.
The technique is a patented cooking method, trademarked by Elizabeth Yarnell of Glorious One Pot Meals.

Similar to slow cooking, it basically steams everything in one pot. But instead of the flavors melding together like they do in Crockpot meals, this method maintains the separate integrity of each ingredient.

I've changed Yarnell's method a bit in this recipe by removing the cover at the end to allow the cheese to brown.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
1 cup converted rice
1-1/4 cups water
1 14 oz. can diced tomates and green chilies (with the juice)
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup corn
1 tsp. chili powder
1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a 5-quart enameled cast iron dutch oven with a lid (Compare Prices) with cooking spray.

Put all of the ingredients except the cheese in the dutch oven. Stir, and cover.

Bake 25 minutes.

Remove cover. Stir. Top with cheese and bake an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is browned and all the liquid is absorbed.

Well that should keep the little devils.....(ummm, children, lol), happy for awhile.

Take-out and frozen pizza are acceptable quickie dinners when you are up against the clock, but why relegate pizza as a desperation meal? Making your own at home is really not that difficult or time-consuming. With a bit of careful planning of toppings, you also have a balanced meal all in one simple package. Luckily, most kids adore pizza, so you can enlist your children in the process.
