![]() The dog days of summer are officially upon us. No indoor cooking for me when I can help it! One of my favorite beat-the-heat-and-still-eat strategies involves aluminum foil packets and a hot grill. That there's no clean-up with this method is a definite bonus. I always have better luck when I use several layers of heavy-duty foil. No sense risking your entire dinner for the sake of a few cents more foil, right? Don't make your packets too large. Individual ones are great and simplify serving immensely. Stack items in the packets fairly tightly, so you end up with short, fat packets instead of thin spread-out ones. Close them tightly when you close them, with several rolls of the foil, but always leave some air space in the packets. If your grill has an upper rack where you can keep the foil packet further from the flames, use it, along with high heat. Test your meat for doneness - since temperatures can vary so much between grills, my cooking time should only be treated as suggestions. |
![]() Construct four foil packets and spray centers with oil. Combine marinated steak strips with peppers, onion, and peas. Place half cup of cabbage in bottom of each packet and divide meat and vegetable mixture evenly over top; sprinkle walnuts over all. Close packets and bake 25-40 minutes, until meat reaches desired degree of doneness.

(*Many plans allow the deduction of fiber and sugar alcohols. You can omit the sugar free honey or maltitol syrup entirely if you wish, but I think it adds a lot if you can use it.) |
Construct four foil packets. Add 1/2 Tb. oil to each packet; place a chicken breast in the center of each oil puddle. Season the chicken breasts with reserved salt and black pepper; divide squash mixture evenly among packets, piling atop chicken breasts. Cover with sliced tomatoes. Sprinkle Parmesan over all, and close packets. Bake 45-60 minutes or until chicken tests done. NUTRITIONAL INFO: 4 servings, 320 calories, 18 g fat (6 g sat), 5 g carbohydrate, 32 g protein, each. |
