This is a good idea to have a few of these on hand in your refrigerator for future meals such as sandwiches, fajitas, or just alone with some roasted veggies. In the past I’ve used different seasonings and methods of cooking depending on the recipe, but wanted one that was universal. I recently purchased Valerie … Continue reading
It’s time for summer salads with fresh fruit of the season. Blueberries are available beginning in July and can last until September here in Michigan. I received this recipe as a kit from Fustini’s along with 30ml of basil oil and 30 ml of blueberry balsamic vinegar. I am a big fan of flavored balsamic … Continue reading
A few years ago my sister Marna, mentioned it would be nice to have a gravy for a pork tenderloin I grilled. So, I did a little searching and came up with this recipe. Very basic and simple – I like the addition of soy sauce and she did too! I just checked the dates … Continue reading

They are on the … Continue reading

I grew up with doctored up Campbell’s baked beans out of a can – Mom’s were deliciously sweet and always great in addition to her potato salad. We often got … Continue reading

In his Mexican Everyday cookbook (2005) I found this spicy delicious chicken recipe that I could grill. I did change a few ingredients and directions… I … Continue reading
I love to make these tortilla or flatbread pizzas on my grill using pizza stones. Recently I made these crispy tortillas with golden caramelized onions, pesto and more cheese. I love all kinds of flatbread but for these quick appetizers (or a light lunch) thin tortillas are the way to go. So easy – just … Continue reading

We have had a mild winter… Then by the time I wanted to grill the lamb chops the weather didn’t cooperate so I cooked them inside on … Continue reading
