Easy food ideas

One that I've perfected over the past few outings...

Take a ear of corn on the cob, and then peel back the husk (but don't remove it!). Next remove the silk, smother with melted garlic butter, liberally coat with salt and pepper (I use the salt and pepper grinders), then put the husk back on, wrap it aluminum foil (shiny side in) and cook on the grill. DELICOUS!!

Each ear of corn in my locale is approx 70 cents each.

Thanks to our granddaughters we've recently rediscovered our pie irons. Hadn't used them in years. Our favorite is pizza, but one can cook almost anything in them. Fun for kids (with appropriate supervision) and adults. Easy, tasty, easy cleanup.

Hmmm. One man's easy meal is another man's pain-in-the-pan. But, we like gumbo. I get either Zatarain's mix, or another brand, that has the rice and seasoning. I add shrimp, kielbasa, can of okra, and if you need to extend a bit more, chicken.

I shell the shrimp and dice the kielbasa (and chicken, if used) at home. If not using the first night, I freeze it all. Takes one kettle.

Always get compliments, and it is very simple.

Thats a great idea I like the do ahead prep

Thank you
