Here are a few pics of the doe I killed.  Next time, I'll go for a buck.

Stuffed Grilled Chicken

This was our supper 2 nights ago.  This stuffed grilled chicken is an original recipe of Melanie's.  Here's the recipe.

Stuffed Grilled Chicken

4 Chicken Breasts
1/2 red bell pepper (chopped small)
1/2 green bell pepper (chopped small)
1/2 yellow bell pepper (chopped small)
12 slices of dried beef
6 slices of provolone cheese
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup creole mustard
1/4 cup honey
1 cup pineapple juice
1 cup Italitan dressing
cajun seasoning

Butterfly cut your chicken breasts.  Lay dried beef and cheese inside chicken.  In a bowl, mix your creole mustard and dark brown sugar.  Mix together, and pour 1-2 tablespoons in the middle of each chicken breast.  Close chicken.  Sprinkle both sides of chicken breast with cajun seasoning. 

Mix pineapple juice, italian dressing with remaining brown sugar/creole mustard mixture.  Pour over chicken and marinate for at least an hour.  Use toothpicks to secure chicken breasts.

Sautee chopped peppers in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. 

Make basting sauce with 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 cup of creole mustard.

Grill for approximatly 20-25 minutes until chicken is done.   Baste  chicken on each side and let caramelize.   Put chopped peppers on top of cooked chicken. 

Eat up!!

Grilling

One of my favorite things to do is grill.  I love the taste of grilled food.  My family has really moved away from eating much "fried" food.  Since the time has changed, we probably grill 3-4 times a week.  Since I grill that often, I thought that I would share with you some of the things I cook.  We try to stay with our basic "Pig, Cow, & Chicken" most of the time.  However, we occasionally do something different.  We love to grill veggies as well. 

I thought I would tell you about my grills. 

GAS GRILL:  I use a Weber 2-burner gas grill with cast iron grates.  I have had the grill for a little over 4 years now.  It has been a great grill for "family size" cooking (4-6 people).

I also use a charcoal grill.  I use a Weber 18 1/2 inch One Touch Silver edition.

I have been using this grill a lot lately while I'm reworking my gas grill. 

Here's a pic of the charcoal grill. 

I use a Brinkman electric smoker as well(no picture today). 

Here are my grilling partners:

Micah (notice the soccer ball)  we are always "playing ball" in between checking the food.

And Millie...our dog is always around.

Here was our supper this past Saturday night. 
Chicken-ka-bobs.

I'll give recipes for everything I post if you ask.  Enjoy, and I hope it makes you hungry!!
