2 cornish hens
Mix together:
1 16 oz Italilan dressing
1 red bell pepper sliced
1 sweet onion sliced
1/4 soy sauce
3/4 cup brown sugar
Cover & marinate 8 hours or overnight
Drain - but reserve for basting
Grill for about an hour or hour & half (covered) or until done or use a rotisserie for about the same amount of time. If using an open grill turn frequently to brown evenly.
I usually serve these with a pear & arugula salad with sugared walnuts & shaved Parmesan cheese and a simple balsamic olive oil dressing.
And of course a great crusted bread.
I just posted the cornish hen recipe & not clear on how to subscribe. I have a blog (mountainhousestudios.blogspot.com) & you are on my blog roll --

Judy,
The recipe for the cornish hens sounds delicious! And I love your idea to serve it with the Arugula & Pear salad. Thanks for your contribution.
buon appetito!

Good morning from California.
My favorite thing to grill is Kabobs.
On a skewer I put yellow & green zucchini, tomatoes, garlic, onion,(all of which are grown in my garden)red potatoes, pineapple and pieces of marinated rib-eye cut into bite size pieces. The Rib-eye can be marinated in anything you like- I love an Italian dressing mixture.
I brush all the vegetables with olive oil after they are on the skewer.
Grill over medium heat, until fork tender.
A MUST to serve with Kabobs is what our family calls "Bad Bread" The Bad Bread spread is a mixture of softened butter, grated parmesan cheese (has to be fresh parmesan), minced fresh garlic and mayonaise. Slice a loaf of your favorite bread lengthwise, spread "bad" mixture to cover the entire surface of the bread, wrap in foil and grill, about 10ish minutes. (my favorite bread is the recipe for Basic Bread in your cookbook.
Toss in a BIG garden salad (fresh from the field) and you can't go wrong. Yum.............
Kabobs are great for company. The entire dinner is on a skewer, super easy to grill and serve.
Your Tuscan Grill would be perfect for such an occasion.

Grilled pizza, for sure!
I’d LOVE one of these Tuscan grills! I’ve never owned a grill but I love grilled food. It really lends itself to healthy and delicious eating.
One of my favorite things to eat off the grill is grilled peaches. They are so flavorful. You cut the peach in half, take the seed out, and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Then you cook, cut side down, for 10-15 or until the sugar caramelizes and they are tender. Fill the empty centers with goat cheese, drizzle with honey, sprinkle with cinnamon and serve. Fantastic!
Nia,
I LOVE grilled peaches...especially drizzled with saba and a bit of toma fresh cheese, oh and argula and proscuitto, and...come to think of it I love grilled peaches with just about anything.

A favorite for many years...shrimp marinated in white wine, olive oil, dijon and basil. Each large shrimp is then wrapped in a whole fresh basil leaf and a thin slice of procuitto and grilled over a mesquite charcoal fire...it's not only mouth watering to think about and eat, it's a great memory from our early days of marriage when we were discovering things we liked to cook together.
I have a grilled honey chicken recipe that is wonderful! That just might be my favorite!

Good Morning All
I pried this recipe from the chef at a wedding in Napa CA years ago and have made it ever since. My kids call them Tiger Carrots because of the way they come off the grill. They are the tastiest and tenderest carrots you will ever taste.
Ingredients:
2-3 lbs large carrots, the larger and thicker the better.
1 - 1.5 cups of your favorite vinaigrette
Mine is a simple balsamic vinaigrette:
3 parts olive oil
1 part balsamic
teaspoon of dijon mustard
salt pepper to taste.
Preparation: 4 - 8 hours before grilling
• Peal the carrots
• Place whole carrots in a steamer and steam for 30 min or until very tender.
• Let cool
• Meanwhile make vinaigrette
• Take cooled carrots and slice them lengthwise into 1/2" thick "planks" or "steaks"
• place carrots in a ziplock bag or a non reactive baking dish.
• cover carrots with vinaigrette and let marinate for 2 - 4 hours.
• When ready to cook prepare grill
• remove carrots from marinade and grill for 2-3 min a side until lightly charred and caramelized.
• Server immediately.
These are good both warm or at room temperature.
Testing,
I just wrote out my recipe hit the publish you comment button and I do not see it in the comments here. Wondering if I did something wrong.
Want to see if this shows up before I rewrite the whole thing again.
I'm on a skirt steak kick right now...kroger puts it on sale regularly! :)
I make a rub with ground espresso coffee, brown sugar, dried mustard, thyme, garlic powder, cumin. Cook it on a well-oiled grill for about 4-5 mins on each side and then let it rest for 5 minutes. Easy and delicious!!
