I decided to go for something well outside my comfort range this week. I’m not the world’s most daring cook, and tend to stick with easy things that I know. I saw that our local poultry farmer had cornish hens, so I figured hey, wee little chicken, if anything goes wrong, I’m not ruining a whole bird. In fact, she gave me a few ideas and some tips, and it came out great. The wee little bird is stuffed with apples from our local orchard and some onion. The potatoes and acorn squash were cubed and put in tin foil on the grill, as was the hen. Everything came out great and made for a very filling meal. I just love being able to cook everything on the grill and not make a mess of the kitchen!
