Cheesy Apple Cinnamon Grill

1/4 small apple cut into thin slices
2 tsp. butter or margarine

Heat a skillet on the stove and place buttered bread inside to melt butter and toast the bread. Sprinkle cinnamon over bread. Add apple slices and cheese to one of the slices, and top with the other slice. Allow the cheese to melt. You could also do this in the microwave.

Grilled New Potato Packet

Prep: 5 min / Total: 25 min

1/2 lb. each red and white baby new potatoes (I usually just cut up 4-5 regular sized potatoes into bite- sized pieces)
2 Tbsp. water
2 tsp. oil
3 Tbsp. Italian dressing
2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan Cheese
1 Tbsp. parsley (if you have it- I sometimes leave this out)

Place potatoes in the center of an 18-inch long piece of foil (you may need to double- wrap it). Drizzle with water, oil, and dressing, and sprinkle cheese on top. Fold foil packets up and seal ends. You can grill this- picnic or camping style on a grill or fire for about 20 minutes, but I have done this in my oven at 350 for about 25 minutes. Poke holes in the top of the packet to allow steam to escape, then carefully unwrap the foil. Add the parsley at this point, along with any seasoning you like, such as salt and pepper.

Easy Mexican- Inspired Wraps

-1 can cooked chicken
-1 TBSP olive oil (could also use canola oil)
-assorted spices- i use garlic powder, onion powder, ground red pepper, chili powder, cumin, etc. (like 1/4- 1/2 tsp. or so of each one, depending on how much you like it)
-ranch dressing
-salsa
-tortillas
-cheese

Cook the chicken in a pan with the oil and spices, on medium for just a couple minutes (the chicken is already cooked) so it doesn't get dry. Add some ranch dressing and salsa (however much you want). Spoon the chicken into some tortillas, add some shredded cheese, and roll up. I like to put it back into the pan to let the tortilla get crispy. I also like to serve it with salsa, black beans and rice.
