1. Preheat your grill or oven to 400 degrees, cooking on direct heat (ie, over the flame).
2. Now, prepare the peppers. Cut the stem off the peppers and with a knife, scrape all of the chilis and inside portion out of the inside of the peppers. (Leaving the seeds will make them even hotter, which is okay, but you need room inside to stuff your cream cheese.) For the really large peppers, chop them in half.
3. Stuff the peppers with cream cheese, then take about a half or a third piece of bacon and wrap around the pepper, ensuring you wrap the top of the pepper with the bacon so the cream cheese cannot fall out and then secure with a toothpick.
4. The other way to make poppers that is easier is to slice the jalapeno pepper in half so it lays flat. Add cream cheese and a piece of partially cooked bacon cut to the length of the pepper. These are easier to make and cook than the other kind, just be sure they don't fall through the grill grates!
5. Grill or bake until bacon is beginning to get crispy and the cream cheese is bubbling.

1. Preheat grill to medium heat.
2. Roll out the pizza dough on a flat surface.
3. Using a small bowl or wide mouthed glass, cut the dough into small circles to make the mini pizzas.
4. Roll leftover dough pieces together, flatten and repeat cutting into small circular cutouts.
5. Brush both sides of the dough with olive oil. Make sure your grill has been sprayed with non-stick spray.
6. Grill the dough until grate marks appear, about 5 minutes.
7. Flip the dough, then, with recently grilled side up, add tomato slices, a piece of basil, and the mozzarella.
8. Grill for 5 minutes or until cheese has melted.

1. Combine first 11 ingredients in a food processor and make a thick sauce. Reserve 1/4 cup of the sauce in the refrigerator for serving with the hens later.
2. Remove the backbone from the hens so that you can butterfly them. Season the hens all over with salt and pepper; poke a few holes into the meat so the marinade can penetrate the bird.
3. Rub 1 cup jerk sauce all over the hens in a large bowl or pan. Then, cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.
4. Safety goggles are recommended when chopping habaneros or scotch bonnet peppers. First off, chopping will make your nose run, you will use your arm to wipe your nose and the next thing you know you have rubbed chili juice into your eyes! No bueno!!

Grilling Directions:

1. Preheat the grill to medium. (Note that some recipes call to use a brick covered in foil or a metal press on the grill to flatten the hens and make them extra crispy. I did not do this, I only butterflied the hens and after marinating in the fridge for 2 hours they were pretty flat already.)
2. Cook the hens on the grill until browned on each side (this will vary according to grills and meat size), at least 7-8 minutes per side. While grilling, baste the hens with any extra jerk sauce. The hens will be done when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 160 degrees.

1. Drizzle olive oil on the romaine. Put on preheated gas grill set to medium to medium/low heat. Grill on each side 4-5 minutes, just long enough to cook but not charring.
2. Remove from grill. Chop romaine into bite sized pieces. Add 2-3 cups of baby arugula. Drizzle additional olive oil (1-2 tbsp). into the salad. Add fresh squeezed lemon juice (1 tbsp.) Shave the parmesan onto the salad (add as much as your liking- I added about 1/4 cup). Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. There isn’t much need for dressing as the grilling gives it so much flavor. I usually add additional sea salt/pepper.

Compound Butter Instructions:

1. Let butter come to room temperature. DO NOT melt in the microwave, it will change the texture of the butter.
2. Combine butter and the rest of the ingredients in a food processor and pulse to puree the ingredients. Put in an easy-to-access container and store in the refrigerator.
3. Congratulations, you just made your first compound butter!!

Texas Toast Instructions:

1. Take a loaf of your favorite type of bread and slice 4 to 6 (or more depending on how many pieces you want to make) 2-inch pieces. Spread them generously with the compound butter.
2. While grilling your other items (wings, sliders, romaine) put your toast slices on the top shelf of the grill. They will get toasted from the heat of the grill. If your grill doesn’t have a “top” shelf then put the bread on indirect heat on the grill.
3. Texas Toast is done when the bread starts to get slight grill marks and butter turns golden brown.

1. Cut pork chunks into smaller pieces so they will cook more evenly on the grill.
2. Add olive oil, salt, pepper, juice of the limes, garlic and cilantro and let marinate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
3. After the meat has marinated, add the Applewood rub and stir into the meat mixture.
4. Put meat on skewers.

Grilling Directions:

Grill on a medium/high heat grill for 10 minutes total, turning halfway through, or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.

1. Slice veggies lengthwise and drizzle with balsamic, olive oil, garlic, fresh herbs, sea salt and pepper.
2. Grill on medium direct heat until char marks form.
3. Once off the grill, sprinkle with fresh grated parm. Great served hot or cold!

1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
2. Mix batter with egg and rum, then add the nutmeg and ginger. Next, grill the pineapple slices.
3. As the pineapples are grilling, take a grill-friendly saucepan and add a stick of butter, ½ cup rum and the dark sugar. Let this sauce get warm and bubbly on the grill. Stir occasionally.
4. Once the pineapple slices have nice grill marks on both sides, take them off the grill. Layer the pineapple slices on the two pie pans. Put cherries in the middle of each pineapple slice.
5. Pour some of the rum sauce over the pineapple (be careful, the pan will be hot). Now, pour the batter evenly into the two pie pans.
6. Next, create a direct/indirect environment for baking your cake (charcoal to one side or one burner on/off).
7. Bake cakes about 12-15 minutes or until golden
8. Pull cakes out off the grill and drizzle the rum glaze over the cakes while it is still warm.
9. You won’t believe you made these cakes on the grill! Your friends will be surprised and impressed!!
