Hi frauhahn,
All great ideas. If you have a small electric grill or regular grill you can cook on the grill on your patio, porch, etc.
I used to make foil meals with my kids all the time during the summer. Take a piece of heavy duty foil if available other wise regular foil doubled will work. Take a piece of meat, it can be frozen, cut up a potato, add some veggies, salt, pepper and a bit of butter, then cook on the grill, turn over after about five or ten minutes, then open on a plate and enjoy!
I used to keep frozen meat patties of hamburger, skinless boneless chicken, turkey and pork, hot dogs, etc. available. A bag of potatoes, wash and cut into pieces, added with your veggie of the day, gives great choices for kids of all ages. What is great is that every one gets to choose what they want for dinner and then there is no complaining. The neighborhood kids got so they'd bring their foil dinners and we'd have a big cook out.
These foil meals are from the scouts and lots of fun for kids of all ages.
