Everyday Food for Busy People
Two things I have been loving lately – our new grill and homemade seasoned salt. I love the grill because it doesn’t burn everything like the old one did. And I love the seasoned salt because it makes nearly everything taste better.
Even zucchini.
I like zucchini, but it’s not something that I would normally take a second helping of. But grilled zucchini tasted so good, I wanted to keep eating it. And it’s so simple to make.
When we went to Gatlinburg with family a few weeks ago, we took turns preparing a meal for everyone. I decided to bring BBQ Chicken Fajitas, but I wanted to do most of the cooking at home. I ran across this post on $5 Dinners, where Erin talks about batch cooking on the grill. This method made it possible for me to take dinner for 16 people and have it prepared quickly and with very little effort.

In the quest for a quick summer meal, I don’t think you can do better than ham steak on the grill. It doesn’t heat up the kitchen, there are very few dishes to wash and it’s quick. You can even throw it on the grill frozen, which is great if you fail to plan ahead to thaw it out.
I’ve done tilapia in a foil packet before, but this time I wanted to use the grill and more veggies. Instead of making individual packets, I made a large one. The fish and vegetables cooked perfectly in just 15-20 minutes. Even though the foil was charred around the edges, the food didn’t burn at all.
