Start with a protein like chicken or fish. Next, choose a starch. These recipes use potatoes, rice, or even pasta. You'll want to give the rice and pasta a head start by beginning the cooking process before adding to the foil. Be sure to add loads of fresh chopped veggies. If you prefer a different veggies from what is listed in the recipe, you can always swap it out. Be sure to finish with a sauce or light dressing. It can be as simple as a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of flat-leaf parsley, or as company-worthy as a lemon-butter sauce. Some of these recipes can either be baked or cooked on the grill. Just be sure to adjust your cooking time accordingly.
