Baking & Grilling Out

Yesterday we cooked out on the grill for the first time this season.

Made Top Sirloin steaks on the grill along with potato wedges on the stove.

Potato Wedges

To make, scrub the potatoes and cut them into wedges.

In my cast iron fry pan I placed some olive oil and coconut oil.  Added the wedges, salt and pepper to taste and 

fry until done, being careful when you turn them so they don't break.  

When done grate some fresh Parmesan cheese over them.

While waiting for the bread to go into the oven.
Made one of Bob's favorite pies.

 

The recipe is from Gina over at Home Joys.  It is 100% whole wheat and turns out beautiful.
