It is a beautiful sunshiny day, although a little cooler than I would like. The weatherman is predicting rain all weekend, so I am going to get my grilling done tonight. The kids have requested bratwurst. We like the ones with the cheese inside. I will put the brats in my crock pot, add a beer, and some thinly sliced onions and green peppers and let them simmer on low all day. This evening at suppertime, I will toss the brats on the grill for that yummy, crispy grilled flavor.
While grilling the brats, pour the liquid you cooked them in into a saucepan, and reduce down until thick. This makes a yummy topping with mustard or ketchup. Serve these with some fries and you have supper. Easy and yummy! Happy Thursday!

Grillin' Out
As the weather warms up, I begin to turn to my grill for my meals. I really enjoy sitting on the patio with a cold drink and a book, checking on my supper every few minutes, while it all cooks in one place.
Tonight I am making something super easy, polish sausage. Pitch it on the grill, turn it a few times, supper is done. But what to serve with it? Especially right now with no fresh veggies.
One side I am serving is something no one likes but us. Okra! I freeze it whole during the summertime, then toss it in olive oil, black pepper and kosher salt and grill it till it is very brown. The kids and I love it! I realize no one else even wants to try it like this. Your loss ;)
I tend to hit a wall when I try to find a potato recipe for the grill that will suit my picky, potato eating husband. I think this one will work, let me know what you think.
ingredients
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 medium baking potatoes, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 small onion, sliced and separated into rings
2 tablespoons butter
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Add potatoes and onion; toss gently to coat. Spoon onto a double thickness of greased heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square). Dot with butter. Fold foil around potato mixture and seal tightly. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 30-35 minutes or until potatoes are tender, turning once.
To cook this faster on the grill, microwave the sliced potatoes for about 5 minutes in a container with a lid and a little water. This is also good with ranch dressing instead of mayo. Happy grilling!
