My step-mom gave us this amazing grilling cookbook and I've loved experimenting with all the fun recipes in it. The next three recipes are from the grilling cookbook. I don't have a picture to show this one and I wish I did because it is so pretty! Its called Dessert from the Grill. I made it for a BBQ we had out at my parent's house last Sunday. It was AMAZING!
Ingredients:
1 can (20 oz) sliced pineapple
1 TB butter
1 tsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp cinnamon
*1 loaf pound cake
Vanilla ice cream
Caramel ice cream topping
*The recipe calls for 6 slices but I used a whole loaf, about 8 or 9 slices. I used a box mix for the pound cake and cooked as directed on the box EXCEPT I added about 1/2 cup of homemade raspberry jam and just swirled it through the batter a bit.
Directions:
Drain pineapple reserving about 1/2 cup of juice. In a microwave-safe dish combine pineapple juice, butter, brown sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Microwave on high for 1-2 minuted until bubbly. Brush half the mixture on both sides of the sliced pound cake and the pineapple rings. Grill cake and pineapple, uncovered, over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown, brushing occasionally with butter mixture. To serve, top each slice of cake (you can cut them in half) with a pineapple ring, scoop of ice cream and drizzle with caramel topping. I combined the remainder of the butter sauce with caramel topping, heated it again and drizzled that over the top instead of the regular caramel topping.

Grilled Fish Sandwiches
Ingredient:
4 4oz cod fillets
1 TB Lime juice
1/2 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
1/4 cup mayo
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp honey
4 hamburger or hoagie buns
lettuce
tomato slices
Directions:
Pat fish fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with lime juice (I also brushed them with a little olive oil) and sprinkle with lemon pepper. Coat grill with non-stick cooking spray or oil before starting grill. Grill fillets, covered, over medium heat for 5-6 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily.
In a small bowl combine mayo, Dijon mustard, honey and a pinch of salt. I also added a dash of lime juice. Spread mayo on buns, top with fish lettuce and tomato.
Potatoe Skins
This is a super easy and tasty side to almost any entree. Wash potatoes, about 1 per person. Cut in half long ways and then in half long ways again. Cut off the middle white part of the potato, leaving about 1/4 inch on the skin. I put my middles in a freezer bag to use later. Put potato skins on a microwave-safe plate and cook in microwave 8-10 minutes, till cooked through. Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil or melted butter and sprinkle with salt, pepper and rosemary. Grill skin sides up (or bake on a cookie sheet at 350) on direct, medium heat 3-5 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn over and move to indirect heat, top with cheese and crumbled bacon, grill (or bake) another 3-5 minutes till cheese is melted.
