Grilled Pizza

dtbarne Leave a comment

1 pkg pizza crust mix, prepared (I’ve used Martha White, Betty Crocker, etc)

Pizza sauce

Pizza toppings of your choosing (cheese, hamburger, pepperoni, sliced red onion, green pepper, mushrooms, pineapple, etc)

  1. Prepare the pizza crust mix according to direction on package.
  2. Shape dough into individual sized pizzas.  I don’t worry about making them perfectly

    Toppings on and ready for the grill.

    round…sometimes they come out oblong, sometimes oval or square.  Adding a little olive oil to your hands or the outside of the dough will help them to keep from sticking to your hands.

  3. Place pizza dough on a grill that is at medium meat and let cook about 4 minutes per side.  Just until they are lightly browned.
  4. Remove from grill and add toppings of your choosing, starting with pizza sauce.
  5. Place back on grill and cook covered for about 10-12 minutes; until cheese is nicely melted and toppings are cooked through.

Instant Pot BBQ Ribs

dtbarne Leave a comment
  • 1 rack of baby back pork ribs
  • Your favorite rib rub (I used Famous Dave’s)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp liquid smoke, optional
  • 1/2 cup bbq sauce

Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs.

Generously rub the ribs with your favorite rib rub, coating both sides.

Pour the water, apple cider and liquid smoke into the bottom of the pressure cooker pot.

Place the rack in the bottom of your pressure cooker, place the ribs on the rack, standing on their side, wrapping around the inside of the pot. (You can cut in two if you prefer).

Close the lid, making sure that the pressure relief valve is closed. Press the Meat button and set to 30 minutes. Do a Natural Pressure Release (NPR) for 12 minutes, then do a Quick Release (QR) to release any remaining pressure.

Carefully remove the ribs from the pressure cooker and transfer to a plate. Brush with your favorite BBQ sauce and then place on grill for a few minutes just to finish off.  When they’ve ‘crisped’ up enough and got grill marks to your liking, pull them off and enjoy!

Chicken, Rice & Vegetable Bowl

dtbarne Leave a comment

2 Boneless skinless chicken breasts
Lawreys seasoning salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
2 Corn on cob
1/2 cup sweet onion, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup red pepper, coarsely chopped
1 avocado, sliced
4 spears asparagus
1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Garlic powder, to taste
1 cup rice
2 cups chicken broth
Salad dressing of choice – we used Ranch and Thousand Island

Season chicken breast with Lawrey’s and pepper to your liking.  Grill chicken til thoroughly cooked.  Thinly slice.

While chicken is cooking put corn on grill and grill long on all sides to obtain small amounts of char.  When done, use a knife to cut the kernels off the cob.

Marinate asparagus in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, salt, pepper & garlic powder for 15 minutes or so and then place on grill for a few minutes…do not over cook or it will be mushy.  Cut into thirds when done.

Saute onions and peppers just enough to cook through, leaving them tender crisp.  You can either saute on stove top or in a grill pan on the grill.

Cook rice according to package directions.  (I used a microwave cooker…it’s perfect!)

Assemble your bowl:  Rice, peppers & onions, asparagus, corn on the cob, chicken.  Lightly drizzle salad dressing over top and add sliced avocados.

Delicious!
