BACK TO SCHOOL
GRILLED LUNCH IN STYLE!

Growing up I lived so close to my school that making it home for lunch was a regular occurrence. My mom would be there and the two of us would whip together some grilled cheese sandwiches…often! As I grew older my school was longer within walking distance so I quickly became a member of the packed lunch gang. I missed those grilled sandwiches so much I was determined to figure out a way to bring it to school. The secret was preparing the sandwich in the morning on my Genesis E-315, letting it cool while I got ready and then the last thing I did before running out the door would be pack (wish I had Weber Butcher Paper back then). The point is steam is not your friend when packing a grilled cheese lunch for school or wherever you go. Here are two of my MOST favourite backpack lunches, I hope your kids love them and so will you. And yes, follow us on Instagram for more recipes from Weber's own backyard. 

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 fresh peaches, halved
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
• ½ Cup Oats
• 2 tbsp Pecans, chopped
• 2 tbsp Flour
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 6 tbsp Butter, chilled

PREPARATION:

1. Preheat grill to 400F. Lightly brush the oil onto peach halves. Place over direct heat for 3-4 minutes to achieve grill marks.
2. In a large bowl mix together the oats, flour, sugar, pecans and cinnamon. Mix the chilled butter in with the oat mixture until combined.
3. Spoon the mixture into the area that the pit was and then place back onto the grill for an additional 4-5 minutes.
4. Remove from grill and let cool before packing your lunch. You want to avoid any steam from accumulating.
