Grilled Stuffed Brussel Sprouts
Hint here – this recipe is not going to be much different than the Stuffed Mushrooms recipe. Making this the same night gave me the same base stuffing for the ingredients, with very few adaptations. One thing I have realized lately is that I would post a recipe almost every week on a Brussel Sprout…
Grilled Asparagus
Are you ever looking for a super simple side dish while the burgers or chicken are grilling? Look no further with this four ingredients + tin foil + grill = easy and delicious! My trick with the tin foil is to double layer both top and bottom portions creating a half inch lip around all…
Grilled Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
I don’t know how many times I will say this throughout the life of this blog, but I LOVE GRILLING SEASON!!! It seems like every year I get really excited to grill and share – as evidenced by the Lamb Burgers, Vietnamese Shrimp Pops, Grilled Romaine Salad, Pineapple Salsa, Grilled Mozzarella Bread …and so many…
Sauteed Brussel Sprouts
Growing up, my father had an amazing green thumb and we had what I believed to be the worlds largest home garden. I’m sure it is not the largest personal garden in the world, but it was certainly admirable. My dad grew the food, my mom canned and us kids just grabbed pea pods off…
Cilantro Lime Rice
Let me tell you a story…it’s about a person who loves to be great at everything. So this person jumped head first in the deep end of a very large pool by taking a new job at the beginning of the year. There was so much to learn (and there still is) about the business…
Rosemary Honey Butter
Butter is an unbelievably hot commodity at my house. Between the cooking, the baking, the toast consumption and the fact that it can go with just about any meal, it is taken quite seriously. Whether it is salted or not, when I think of butter, I think of how working in the right amount…
Pineapple Mozzarella Salad
Simple is always good, especially when it doesn’t look simple. This light summer salad works as a side dish for breakfast an appetizer or anything that you’d want it to be. It is not always that we can get super fresh fruit, so when the opportunity comes up, it’s time to grab! This was a…
Watermelon Feta Salad
WE got a new camera!!! It is a sweet camera…now I just have to figure out how to use it. This was the first recipe that I photographed with the new camera. I LOVE IT!!! So, my thought was, make a recipe that will be simple and elegant at the same time. This recipe…
Hasselback Potatoes
My opinion on Hasselback Potatoes is that they are simply baked potatoes made fancy. In the theme of making every meal special one dish at a time, this is a great way to change things up. Your family will experience the baked potatoes that they love in a whole new way. I started this dish…
