Pineapple Bacon Sausage Sandwich

Oh how I absolutely love grill season. Especially now that I do not count on my husband anymore. “I can do it myself” I proudly think to myself. No more waiting around for him to get home from work; now I can have dinner prepared before he gets home. Yahoo!

I bought these sausages from Costco but you can purchase them pretty much anywhere. They are precooked and have sweet pineapple and juicy bacon wrapped inside them. This grilled juicy sausage leaves for a crispy outside with extreme juice flowing on the inside. Oh my goodness, is your mouth watering yet? Yummy yum yum!

Literally three ingredients is all you need. It is that easy. This meal is a 15 minute quick dinner (with the potatoes, 45 minutes).

From refrigerator to belly in a 25 minuets depending how quickly you gobble down your feast.

The simplicity of it all brings out the flavors of the sausage, leaving this goodness– plain and simple.

Serve on a ciabatta roll which makes this even more delicious.

Served this evening with pan friend potatoes…oh so delish’

Feast your eyes and feast your belly! :) Yahoo take pleasure in the food you eat. Life becomes more enjoy able when we eat and drink with those we love and eat good food!

So here’s the scoop:

Ingredients: 

  • 4 Sausages, defrost if necessary
  • 4 Ciabatta rolls
  • Smidgen of Mayo

Grill the sausage on BBQ- if weather appropriate. I wouldn’t want you all standing outside in the rain and snow to enjoy a delicious sausage sandwich. You could also broil in the oven, boil or microwave though I’m least partial to the ladder.

Lightly toast your ciabatta rolls on the grill (or oven) and spread with a little mayo.

Slice the sausage lengthwise and lay flat on your buns. :) Viola, that simple! Really it sounds very unexciting but a good sausage brings a lot of flavor to enjoy and not be disguised by multiple ingredients. It is really delectable.

Than…. sit on your back porch and enjoy a beautiful sunset. While I was up visiting family, this was a similar meal we had and this was the scenery I was able to gratefully partake in.

So beautiful! Though this scenery is entirely different than my backyard…I love enjoying the scenery from one house to another grateful that God has created a beautiful world that lies before us. IMG_5482

Grilled Pork Chops

We decided to grill pork chops the other night as neither of us have done this before. We went for a LONG walk through the woods on a trail that followed the river. It was the best walk! It was not too hot and Cooper was so excited to keep up with the water and see waterfalls along the way. Ending at a viewpoint, we took him out on the cliff to let him watch the boats zoom by. He enjoyed watching this as he hasn’t ever seen boats in action before. It was really fun to watch him light up as he soaked in this new experience. As we walked back, it was 7 pm before we arrived home. So we decided to do a quick dinner with pork chops and grilled vegetables.

It amazes me how you can have an incredible meal in such a short period of time. The barbecue has become my best friend. :)

Ingredients:

  • 4 Pork Chops
  • Garlic Salt
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Montreal Seasoning (optional)
  • Fresh green beans
  • Fresh Corn
  • Fresh Edamame beans
  • EVOO

Sprinkle the pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic salt and Montreal seasoning. In a vegetable basket for the grill, add in your vegetables and toss with EVOO, salt, pepper and garlic salt.

Grill both the chops and the veggies until pork is still tender, being careful not to over cook.

Simple as that! Eat, drink and be full!

Yum, Yum!

Grilled Mahi and Corn on the Cob

Yummy!

Grilled Mahi and Corn on the Cob. Easy, delicious, healthy and most of all…..easy clean up.

I’ve become quite the grill master lately and have really enjoyed it. Makes your food taste great and is easier than I had expected.

This is a meal the whole family with love, as you can see, my little boy loves it as well. :)

Ingredients:

  • 4 Mahi fillets
  • 4 Corn on the cob, shucked
  • 1 White or Yellow Onion, sliced
  • Dill
  • Garlic Salt
  • Salt & Pepper
  • EVOO
  • Butter

As you can see I didn’t give exact measurements for the seasoning. I prefer to do seasoning to desired preference. Also, depending on the size of the fillet you may want a little more or a little less. :)

For easy clean up I wrap each corn and fillet individually in foil to allow for the flavors to seep in and stay concentrated.

Sprinkle corn with salt, pepper and garlic salt. Top with a chunk of butter and sprinkle with EVOO.

Fold foil up in somewhat of a dome. This will give easy access to check and see if the corn is done without losing all your juices.

Slice onion and sprinkle seasoning on top of Mahi. Lay onion on top and drizzle with EVOO and chunks of butter. Fold up into a dome.

Grill corn first as it will take significantly longer. Once corn is half way grilled begin cooking the fish for 5-8 minutes (depending on size) making sure not to overcook. You will want the fish to be flaky, this means it is done and not over cooked or under cooked.

Once done, open up and enjoy the aroma and enjoy this luscious, healthy meal.

Cooper LOVED this meal and LOVES seafood. He ate a whole corn on the cob by himself and shared the fish with me.
