Get Your Grill On

I love having breakfast for dinner. The Husband? Not so much. So it’s with recipes like Grilled Tuscan Steak with Fried Egg and Goat Cheese that I can get away with it. I caught an episode of Giada DeLaurentiis’ show, Everyday Italian, recently, and this was one of the recipes she made. I love melty […]

I love grilled pizza, and if you haven’t tried it yourself, you are sorely missing out. My hands-down favorite is a version with caramelized onions and warm, melty goat cheese. I first made that recipe some 13 or so years ago, and now that my mouth is watering, that is definitely going to […]

With Memorial Day weekend looming on the calendar, if you haven’t kicked off your grilling season already, you’re getting awfully close to the official start. These Cuban-Style Hamburgers are a snap to whip up, making them perfect for either a weeknight when you’re short on time, or a weekend when the gang appears, hungry, […]

Usually the different seasons come and go, and I don’t mind, but for some reason, this time, I’ve been itching for warm weather. All the better to enjoy the deck and walk around the lake with […]

During a recent dinner with our neighbors, a new recipe for sliders hit the table, courtesy of Rachael Ray.Literally taking just minutes to mix the concoction together, […]

Did anyone watch The Next Food Network Star last year? One of the contestants’ challenge in the last episode was to make a summer grilling recipe, and the winner of the challenge got their recipe featured on the cover of the July 2007 issue of Bon Appetit magazine. Rory nailed it with her ribs, using […]
