Foil packet potatoes and onions

These potatoes make a great side dish to compliment any bar-b-que!

*****

I cut six small potatoes and 1 small onion into cubes. You can slice them or cut them however you like! Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. I like to keep it light on the seasonings as not to overpower the main dish, but you can have fun and play around with your spices and seasonings.

 I stirred in 2 tbsp. Bertolli Olive Oil to lightly coat the potatoes.

Put on foil and wrap tightly.

Put on foil and wrap tightly.

Put foil pack on hot grill. We cooked ours covered for 30 minutes, carefully turning the packet over. Then cooked for another 30 minutes. 

They came out perfectly

Until next time!
May your blessings be many and your troubles be few!

Home-made no-stick rice. No boxed stuff here!

Ingredients

Rice - 1 cup

Butter - 2 Tbsp.

Water - 2 cups

Melt 2 tablespoons butter. 

Before butter gets too hot, pour rice in and stir. We are basically sautéing, or quick frying the rice. 

 On medium/high heat cook rice in butter for approximately two minutes - stirring constantly (don't let it turn brown)

Pour 2 cups hot tap water over rice and let it come to a medium boil.

As soon as the water comes to a boil, turn the heat down to about a number 2 setting (low heat.) Put the lid on. 

Let simmer for approximately 15 minutes. 

I took the lid off and gave it a quick stir after about 10 minutes to show you how it's coming along. It doesn't really need stirred any more than that.

Fifteen minutes of simmering! No need to drain. We like ours al dente and this is perfect!

Mmm. This rice is good enough to eat just like it is...

…but, I'm having my rice this evening with some left over Chicken Mole.

This rice goes really well with Mel's Blackened Fish too!

Until next time!
