Corn on the cob is an amazing summer vegetable. There’s something about picking up a nutritious vegetable, slathering on five pounds of butter, and then proceeding to blissfully consume all those empty calories surrounded by ten other people that takes me back decades. It is a scene that is so ritualized in the mind that [...]
“Vegetarian food is sooooooooo boring!” I’ve heard this time and time again and in fact, yesterday I heard it during an episode of The Simpsons and I couldn’t help but shake my head in disbelief. Unfortunately it’s true; that everywhere you go, people quite determinedly believe that vegetarian food is boring and consists of pasta, [...]
Potato salad, beans and coleslaw have long since been the staple side dishes of BBQ’s around the world but between you and me I’m starting to get a little sick of them. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m a lover of the traditional and my mama always did know how to make the tastiest coleslaw [...]

If you’re like me, buy your steaks from the prepackaged section, and look for something discounted. I prefer steaks that are slightly grey, because they’re perfectly safe and the proteins are slightly broken down, making the steak a bit tenderer. However, those pickier (or with a bigger budget) should aim for higher priced, fresh red [...]
This recipe comes from a version of a burger I had from a food truck. I took it and made it my own by using different spices and grilling it with hickory chips.
This BBQ recipe has been a family favorite for decades. Men love it! This recipe is perfect for backyard barbecues and game day meals. It is simple, yet incredible good. I use the sauce to top meat loaf and meatballs. It is quick, tangy, sweet, and savory.
The dish I’ve presented to you is one of my favorite creations, and I made it for my husband while he was on his way home from snow camping. I wanted to present him with something that would not only be meaty, warm and filling but would also encompass all of his favorite flavors into [...]
cooked every 4th of July at our cabin in Mississippi.
I love the combination of veal and sage, so I came up with this idea. Hope you love it too.
We love Asian inspired ingredients and also spicier food, you can use more Thai chili sauce and siracha if you prefer more heat. I have also found that grilled fruit when it carmelizes increases the sugar factor, pineapple and peaches are fab with bar b qued meat. This recipe evolved over many years of trying [...]

Lean pancetta infuses savory, juicy flavor without overpowering the beef, while the earthy, distinct flavor of Gruyere brings a rich nuance. A few basic seasonings, toasted bun, grilled Vidalia onions and you are ready to eat right there at [...]

Cooking a Turkey for Thanksgiving Day and got it all prepared when the electricity went out! (All Electric here) So I took the foil and wrapped up the turkey, removed the ‘shelf’ on my BBQ Grill and started it up! Took awhile to cook, like most turkeys do; but didn’t take much longer on the [...]
