"It is always nice when you don't have to scrub a big pot or a pan! This is a fabulous method for cooking any type of fish or shrimp. You don't have to worry about the delicate protein getting stuck to the grill grate or falling through. The foil packs also ensure that it doesn't get dried out."

"I absolutely love the idea of starting out the day with a ton of veggies! I don't have much of a sweet tooth for things like oatmeal, cereal, pancakes, or muffins. I'd much rather have a savory dish like this. The veggie amounts aren't set in stone - use what you like or what you have on hand!"

"Have you ever tasted jello powder before it has been diluted with water? There is definitely a lot of sour power in there. WOW! You've done it again, Sabrina! This is totally awesome. Once you get through the exterior you get the sweet moist grape that cleanses your tongue after the sour. They may not keep as long as the candy, but they are sure to go fast in my house!"

"This is such a great idea for camping! You can make this stuff up before your trip, put it into canisters or bags, and you have a ready - made snack that is so much healthier than the standard store - bought variety. You can use all the stuff that you and your family really likes and leave out what you don't. Experiment with different flavor combinations and figure out your favorite mix!"

"This fresh seasonal side dish would pair well with much more than Mexican style food. It would make a lovely accent to any sort of grilled meats, poultry, or seafood! When those big ripe ears of corn are plentiful, and super cheap, I can't help but buy a lot. This is sort of like a fresh take on a corn relish - like the night and day difference between a fresh salsa and the salty stuff in the jar."

Cinnamon as a savory seasoning? Hmm. I'll have to try that! I've definitely tried the basics, but some of these are tempting!

I haven't spiced meats with cinnamon and think I will give it a try on some poultry. I like Old Bay seasoning on fish and poultry. I like chili pepper in my ground beef.
