Quick Grilling: Hot Dogs, Potatoes, Fish and Corn

It was about 6 pm at my house and we were looking for something to eat that was not going to be to hard to cook and take a long time.  I told my wife and kids, give me 15 minutes and I will have dinner on the table! So I whipped out following items from the refrigerator:

Hot Dogs (for the kids)
Russet Potatoes
Small Red Skin Potatoes
Green Pepper
Ear of Corn (can not BBQ with out corn on the cob)
Mahi Mahi Fish Filets for my wife and I

Remember, when cooking vegetables TIN FOIL is your friend! Obviously, I fired up my grill to get it nice and hot then I start preparing my potatoes.  For the Russet Potatoes, (Quick Version) wash them and then wrap them in Tin Foils.  (If you want to do more, you can make some small cuts along the potato, drizzle some olive oil over it and then wrap them in tin foil. This will give them a nice juicy flavor when done)  Now for the red skin potatoes, I cut these up in to 8 pcs each, and then lay them in some tin foil.  Then thinly slice some vegetables and place them over the potatoes to give the potatoes some of the good juices from the vegetables while they cook.  I only used green peppers because this is all we had in our frig but I usually will throw some onions, cucumbers, sliced carrots for some extra flavor. Once I finished putting the green peppers in the foil, I seasoned it with salt and pepper and wrapped it up tightly.

Once I finished the potatoes, I immediately throw these on the grill because these take longer to cook for the potato to soften up.

Next I husked the corn.  Very self explanatory there, just make sure you do it over a garbage can or plastic bag because it does get messy.  You can spray or brush some olive oil on the corn before placing it on the grill.  I will usually wait to put this on when I put the  meat on and will put it on side of the grill that is less hot.

For the fish, I seasoned it with the Lemon Pepper that I seasoned the Halibut in before.  I put the seasoning on a small plate placed the fish on the seasoning, flipping it so that it covered both sides evenly and then took it out to the grill.   Using similar instructions for grilling Halibut, it worked out great and was ready in about 10 minutes.

Now, my 5 year old could not let me forget to cook up some hot dogs for him.  What we found out was that my 2 year old now loves hot dogs!  YEA!!!!  We are excited about this because he has been a very picky eater.

What did you grill this weekend?  Do you have any great recipes or ideas for the grill?
