Do you mean no dirty dishes? When I want to keep my kitchen clean I throw everything on the grill. I heat up the grill and use a wire brush on it to clean it before I cook and then serve everything straight onto the plates we are using.

Yes no dishes, or as little mess as possible.

Do you mean just at serving time - or no mess over all?
I'm thinking things like muffins, breakfast sandwiches, etc.

Thank You, all of these suggestions have helped.
Sunshine, I've never made packet meals. That seems like a definite do. Are there any recipes? Thanks
MTS04- Pizza baked potatoes? Is there a specific recipe you use? Thanks
krbshappy *grins* Peanut butter and jelly on my list. We like it here too. The one cookie sheet idea works for me too. Thanks
Shortstack- Think I'll have my DS1 grill up a bunch of hamburgers and grilled potatoes to put in the fridge. Quick and easy grab meal then. Thanks~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Can you boil something while you're grilling? OR steam something in foil on the grill while grilling? Two for one type deal. Grilled meats, veggies, sammies/panninis?

I'll leave the grill to DS1, he seems to like cooking on it if I prepare everything ahead of time. Good thing since my DH has ignored his grill for the last three years. Go figure, most guys like to grill I thought.
The wraps are a go and I think I'll throw some pitas in there.
Looking for super easy, no work (or hardly any) for the rest of this week into next. All I could think of was sandwiches and canned chili over chips. All these ideas are helping.
Thanks Libby~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
