Cedar Plank Lime Tilapia


Looking for something yummy for the grill?

How about some Cedar Plank Lime Tilapia?

Sounds fancy, but it is super easy... promise ;)


First you start out by soaking your cedar planks in water. It would be best to soak them over night, but truth be told I didn't have time for that so I settled for a couple hours.

You can pick up cedar planks at Walmart in the grilling section.


Once they are GOODe and soaked, spray them with oil, place your fillets on the planks and pour the juice of one lime over the top of the fillets.


And sprinkle them liberally with Lawry's Seasoning Salt.


Grill 'em up for about 20 minutes until the are cooked through and flake easily.


Yum!


Enjoy!

GOODe GOODeNESS: PaPaw's Campfire Cobbler



As promised, tonight's recipe is PaPaw's Campfire Cobbler... a definite treat when we visit horse camp :)

PaPaw takes 1 White Cake Mix, 1 Stick of Butter and 2 Cans of Pie Filling and makes campfire magic.

Memaw lines the campfire dutch oven with foil for easy clean-up and then PaPaw sprinkles a little of the cake mix on the bottom and adds a little of the butter.

Then he covers it with both cans of pie filling. You can make it all one flavor or half and half. We chose to have 1/2 cherry and 1/2 peach :)

The final step is to cover it with the remaining mix and butter.


Then PaPaw puts a lid on it ;) Then he places it on a bed of hot coals and scoops hot coals on top.

Neat, huh?


20 minutes later he removes it from the heat and...


Can you say YUMMO???

GOODe GOODeNESS: Puddie's Grilled Shrimp Marinade

This past weekend we visited Memaw and Papaw at their horse camp.

Puddie agreed to make his famous Grilled Shrimp, if Papaw would make his famous Campfire Cobbler... and I stood by with my camera to capture both ;)


Today I'll share Puddie's shrimp secrets... tomorrow, I'll show the cobbler magic :)


Puddie took 1 bag of jumbo shrimp deveined with the shell on and thawed them in a water bath. He then added 1T each: Chili Powder, Old Bay and Lawry's Seasoned Salt along with a teaspoon of Canola Oil. Let it marinade while you heat up your grill.


When your grill is nice and hot, pop your shrimpees on the barbie ;)


Now Puddie didn't let me in on this particular step...


But it kind of looks important... Just Sayin'


Cook it up until they turn nice and pink ;)


Then eat up! Yum!

GOODe GOODeNESS: Grilled Sherry Rosemary Chicken

Tonight's recipe is Cris' Sherry Rosemary Chicken Marinade.


If you like sherry, you will love this... (and I even used the cheap stuff). This makes for the most flavorful grilled chicken!


I poured 3/4 cup into a measuring cup.


Then added 1 T EVOO--Rachel style ;)


Then 1 T Kosher Salt


I then grabbed a bunch of fresh herbs... rosemary, thyme and basil


I threw the herbs in a baggie with 4 chicken breasts. 

Note: I like to cut my breasts into even strips for quicker grilling.


I then poured my mixture in and zipped up my baggie.


Pop in the freezer and thaw in a water bath when ready to grill.


I then grilled it up. So Yum!

GOODe GOODeNESS: Grilled Summer Salad



I call this Grilled Summer Salad because it just gets better and better as the summer goes on. It has so many flavors Puddie once said the flavors pop like fireworks in your mouth. :)


Truth be told, I have been preparing for this salad for months. When I saw this killer deal on red peppers a few months ago, I KNEW I needed to buy them up and freeze them for to make this salad (until my garden peppers are ready ;) ). 


I tossed my corn and frozen pepper right on the grill.


Then I drained a jar of pimentos... I heart pimentos.


I then tossed my lovely pimentos in a bowl.


Then I cut my grilled corn off the cob and tossed it in.


Then I grabbed some maters and chopped them up.


I tossed in my maters and tossed on some Kosher salt.


I then grabbed a couple avocados.


Cut them in half


 And then used my Rachel Ray trick to pop them out of the shell with a spoon. :) Then I chopped them up.


I heart Rachel :) A little perky, but full of great info.


I then juiced two limes after nukin' them in the microwave for 15 seconds.


I then cut up my grilled pepper. If it had been fresh, (vs. frozen) I would have skinned it as well by taking it from the grill and placing it in a bowl covered with press n seal until it cooled. But, the frozen pepper doesn't skin very easy and we really don't mind the skin.


Toss it all in...


Add fresh pepper and chili powder to taste.


And stir... Yummo!


Grilled Summer Salad....


And a preview of my next recipe: Cris' Sherry Rosemary Chicken Marinade...and it is sooooooo GOODe!
