Road Trip Cookin'

Last weekend we took a mini road trip to Carbonear, Newfoundland.  We packed the cooler full of food and drinks along with a small propane grill and off we went.  We had a great day and look forward to doing it again.

First we stopped by Earles Horse Riding and Fun Park 
where they have a mini train for the kids to ride.



Alexander enjoyed playing on the play equipment

 

Christian played a game of mini golf with the final hole being the "Newfie Out House"

 

Millard went on a hay ride with the kids.  My back hurt too bad to climb aboard.  :(



Afterwards we went down to the little walking trail and set up our camp stove.
Here is Christian cleaning the grill.

 

While they waited the kids played around the old stationary CN train.

 

Here they are set up with Dad cooking hotdogs.  
I know, I know...not exactly the healthiest choice, but they were 
chicken hotdogs which were lower sodium and lower calorie.
A good choice for us... in moderation of course.

 

Below are the kids enjoying their hotdogs.

Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken

Made the below recipe for chicken tonight. It was yummy! It has been a long day and I totally forgot to take pictures of the chicken, but I wanted to post the recipe so that I wouldn't loose it. Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken Ingredients 1/4 c Dijon mustard 1/3 c Honey 2 tbs Light Mayo 1 tbs Steak Sauce 4 Chicken Breasts (4oz ea) Directions 1. Preheat the grill for medium heat. 2. In a shallow bowl, mix the mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and steak sauce. Set aside a small amount of the honey mustard sauce for basting, and dip the chicken into the remaining sauce to coat. 3. Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill chicken over indirect heat for 18 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, or until juices run clear. Baste occasionally with the reserved sauce during the last 10 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning!

Yummy Salad

Salad can get boring so today I got creative... romaine lettuce, a little ranch mixed in with the lettuce... then shredded cheddar, raspberries, grape halves, strawberry, and just a few almonds. A nice fresh salad for a warm day. Yum!

Panini & Potatoes

Now that we`re over the Easter break it`s time to hop right back on track. Monday I really didn`t feel like cooking a real meal so I opted for sandwiches. I made Turkey-Ham-Cheddar-Avocado Panini`s. Normally we`d have potato chips or french fries on the side, but I made smashed potatoes instead that I found on the back of 'Compliments Brand Red Petites Potatoes' Roasted Smashed Greek Potatoes 2lbs red mini potatoes 1 head garlic, peeled 4 sprigs oregano 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice Toss raw potatoes together with garlic, 2 sprigs of oregano, olive oil, saltand pepper in a roasting pan. roast in a 400 degree F oven until tender, about 40 minuntes. Transfer to a bowl and lightly smash potatoes. Stir in feta cheese, remaining leaves of oregnao and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
