Barbecued Potato Wedges

o 2 lbs small red potatoes

o 2 tablespoons butter

o 1 tablespoon honey

o 3 teaspoons chili powder

o 1/2 teaspoon salt

o 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

o 1/4 teaspoon pepper

1. Place the potatoes in a 15-in x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Drizzle with butter and honey. Sprinkle with chili powder, salt, garlic powder and pepper; toss to coat. What I usually do is just throw everything into a Ziploc bag and mix it around till all the potatoes are covered..

2. Bake, uncovered, at 450 for 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are tender and golden brown, stirring once.

*These are also good wrapped in foil and cooked on the grill..

When will you start updating your blog, Amby? I have it added to my iGoogle. And how often will you post a new one?

I'll start posting stuff when I get home. I really don't have a very well equipped kitchen in London. It's about the size of the bathroom under the stairs at my house I'll probably post at least 3 times a week. Maybe more. Just depends on what I feel like making or who I'm cooking for.

Let's start with...uh, what's quinoa?

So, in my case, no, I don't.

I found it in the supermarket and bought it on an impulse. I looked it up when I got home and apparently it was a grain/seed that the Inca used to cultivate.

It's good as part of a salad - adds a bit of texture. I have tried white and red quinoa and they are much like barley/rice in the ways that it can be used - at least in my non professional opinion.

Nina - I asked the same thing on here a few years ago because I hadn't used it much. Now I use it quite a bit. I add it to salads, make cold salads with it, use as a grain to go with dinner.

Does anyone have a good tried & tested recipe for squash casserole?

I made Ratatouille for the first time last night. Everybody said it was tasty, but the zuchini, crookneck and eggplant that I purchased from the market were enormous. My dad said small to medium sized squash is the most flavorful.

Here's Julia Child's recipe that I used as a guide. I added fresh mushrooms and shaved Parmesan to mine.

omg, I quinoa. I cooked it with some chicken stock. Tossed in some chopped baby spinach, shelled edamame, finely diced red bell pepper, and lemon olive oil (salt & pepper to taste). My husband liked it a lot. So I had to make more for lunch today.

Right now, I have some lamb shanks simmering in the crockpot, can't wait to go home for lunch.

LOL...that's what inspired me to make it. The kids have been watching the movie repeatedly lately. We had to know what we were missing.

Anyone have any good recipes for barley? I'd like to use it as a side dish, since we are no longer eating regular potatoes, and I don't want to make sweet potatoes every night.

[Amby 490]

mmmmmm I love barley. buckwheat is good too.

I think barley with bacon and lentils would be yummy. I just googled it to see if I was going crazy and I found this http://www.grouprecipes.com/8303/barley-bacon-lentils-and-tomatoes.html
