    blueberry turnovers, icecream bread, hard to beat just grilled pineapple with butter, brown sugar and a hot spicey rub. im not much into desserts but grilled pineappole is good and sliced icecream bread for breakfast is great :)

    You can make about any thing that you can bake, broil or fry. Start simple but I have done NY cheesecake to peach cobbler, to banannas foster on my egg. Grilled pineapple slices with a pich of cayenne and cinnamon are killer. Dizzy pig makes Pineapple Head for fruit grills. Let your imagination go wild. ;)

    Yes, Kim,

    She and Randy flew in without any problems, this time, and cooked a bunch of wonderful food with their extended family next to CWM's where I hung out as "helper," so I got to take "tutorial" pics, which I hope to download tonight. Careful, you may try to eat your 'puter screen :silly:

    :) Desert Filly also gave me the spot as "replacement sous chef" for the cake :woohoo: since Spring Hen wasn't there :unsure: .

    Desert Filly and AZRP have a great group of family members, all of whom can COOK on the BGE! Maybe that's why she keeps winning them :whistle:
  • Fruit cobbler or crisp is super-easy. Just peel & slice an apple, peach, nectarine, plums, or use fresh blueberries, raspberries,etc. Put the fruit into an appropriately sized dish. Mix together equal parts softened butter & brown sugar, stir in enough quick-cooking oats to make a crumbly topping and sprinkle over the fruit. Bake until topping is lightly browned & fruit is tender.

    On a similar tack: fruit galette. Combine fresh or frozen berries with a few tbs bread crumbs, chopped nuts, and sugar. Pile fruit onto the center of a rolled-out pie crust and loosely fold up about 2" of the edges toward the center. Sprinkle the folded up edges with sugar. Bake (indirect, on a stone, as pie crust tends to burn) until the fruit is bubbly & pastry is browned.

    Often when I do an indirect cook that finishes up at dinnertime I quickly make up a batch of Betty crocker gingerbread cake mix and cook it in an 8" square ceramic baking pan. It's great to have on hand for snacks.

    One of the first things that I go back to, is the egg's simplicity and the simplicity that goes with the best eats. We tend to thing about cooking the beef and the ribs and the chicken. After dinner stuff is a whole another world.
    After a few years of not having the good sense to try a dessert on the egg, a week ago we tried just a simple grilled peach -- a bit of olive oil to keep it from sticking, about 20 minutes on the egg , then a brown sugar and rum sauce on plain vanilla ice cream.
    Hoooollllyye cow, Daddy never told me 'bout this. The smoke, the grill marks. Seattle shuttered for just a moment with the first taste.
    And home made ice cream would take it to a whole 'nother level.
    So, after 5-6 years with an egg, my lesson is still to start with the simple. The Egg will see you thru every time.
