softened
2 tsp. red pepper sauce
8 ears corn-on-the-cob
Serves 8. In a small bowl,
combine butter and red pepper sauce. Mix well. Melt, if desired.

loosen remaining husk. Do not remove silk. Brush butter mixture
over kernels and smooth back husk to original shape. Twist open end
to close. Prepare grill. Place corn directly onto coals.

can bake in the oven, cut up squash, cucumbers and zucchini, slices or
quarters, or halves. Chop up tomatoes bite size. Cut up onion
in bite size. Add seasonings. Mix these together well.
Cut butter and oleo up on top. Can cook 3 different ways: 1.
Cook until vegetables are soft at 350 degrees. 2. Cook until

on grill outside when cooking steak or chicken or whatever. In foil

GRILLED
PIZZA RICE
1 piece of heavy duty foil, 36"x18"
2 tbsp. cooking oil
1 1/2 c. Minute Rice, uncooked
1/2 jar pizza sauce
4 oz. shredded Mozzarella cheese
8-10 slices pepperoni
Let mom or dad start a fire
on the grill outside. While they do that you put all the ingredients
in the foil. First fold the sides of the foil up a little, then pour
in the oil and let it spread around a little. Then pour the rice
in and spread it out some. Put the sauce on top of the rice and sprinkle
on the cheese. Next, lay the pepperoni on top of everything.
Then ask an adult to fold up the foil into a pouch, so that it is tightly
closed. Place this on the grill (medium heat), for 20 to 30 minutes.
Makes 3 nice servings.
SKEWERED
MARINATED VEGETABLES
3/4 c. vegetable oil

Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
Add vegetables such as zucchini, eggplant, green pepper, mushrooms, tomatoes
and onion. Marinate for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
Put vegetables on skewers and cook along the outside edges of the grill.
For best results, combine vegetables on skewers based on their length of
cooking time. Thread long cooking vegetables together on skewers
and start grilling them first. When they are partly cooked, add the
skewers with the shorter cooking vegetables, such as mushrooms and tomatoes.
