Shish kebabs can be as much fun to make as they are to eat. Select any variety of boneless meats and seasonal, fresh vegetables.

Foil Dinners

These are a camping classic. Take a sheet of foil and place a piece of meat--a pork chop, chicken breast or hamburger patty--in the center; Add a peeled and sliced potato, a few slices of carrot, a wedge of onion and a generous dollop of butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Seal the edges and place over the fire for 30 minutes.
