It was 102° here yesterday. 102. I’ve been living in Redondo Beach for over ten years, and I don’t think it’s ever been that hot here. I mean, I live 10 blocks from the ocean. It’s supposed to be cooler on the coast, not stale and sweltering. But I unfortunately can’t control the weather, and… Continue reading Grilled Lemon-Garlic Chicken with Roasted Potatoes

Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Salad
Sometimes when it’s hot, the last thing I want to do is turn on the oven. It’s on those occasions that I turn on the grill. Yes, I know the grill is an open flame and so also quite hot, but at least I’m outside. Still, sometimes grilling up a piece of chicken or beef… Continue reading Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Salad
Grilled Chicken with Strawberry Salsa
Strawberry season may be coming to a close, but there’s still a couple months left to savor the sweet red fruit. I love strawberries. As a matter of fact, they’re one of my favorite berries. They’re great as a snack and turned into a dessert, but they’re also delicious when added to a savory dish…… Continue reading Grilled Chicken with Strawberry Salsa
Lemony Chicken Couscous Salad
During the hot summer months, one of my favorite meals is a salad. I love salads because they’re cold and light and usually pretty healthy.

Grilled Cherry Chicken Wings
Cherry season is ending. I’m seriously bummed because I love cherries. Those delicious, tart, little red spheres are absolutely amazing. Yes, I’m a Bing fan. I’ll eat them straight out of the basket, baked into sweets or sauteéd with a savory dish. While I love those sweet cherry desserts, when I add cherries to a… Continue reading Grilled Cherry Chicken Wings
Breaded Mustard Chicken Thighs
Tuesday mornings are always very busy for me. I get up, get the boys’ lunches made, get them to school and then it’s off to the farmer’s market and the grocery store. I always go shopping on Tuesdays because while the grocery store is open seven days a week, the best farmer’s market by me… Continue reading Breaded Mustard Chicken Thighs
Savory Peach Chicken
I love peaches. I love them so much I do a little dance when they finally show up at the farmer’s market in the spring. Then I mourn for a few days when they disappear in the fall. I know they’ll be back, but I have to wait for such a long time before they… Continue reading Savory Peach Chicken

I know I’ve been all about the grill recently but that’s because it’s been so hot I just don’t want to turn on the oven. The weather’s been so nice though, I don’t mind cooking outside. As a matter of fact, I’d like to do it more often. The good news is that it appears… Continue reading Grilled Chicken & Plum Kebabs
Grilled Caesar Chicken Kebabs
Today is the third day of September. School has started (or is about to) and the leaves are just starting to turn from green to orange and red. Yup, it’s fall (well almost). But here in Southern California it still feels like we’re right in the middle of summer. The temps at the beach have… Continue reading Grilled Caesar Chicken Kebabs

Remember those awesome blackeyed peas I got from Melissa’s Produce a few weeks ago? Well, turns out they have a whole line of steamed veggies all cooked and ready to be added to your favorite dishes. So, since I was such a huge fan of the peas, I asked for some of their other veggies… Continue reading Mediterranean Chicken
Grilled Chicken and Corn Salad
I’ve been talking a lot about grilling the past few weeks because it’s summer, it’s hot and God knows I don’t want to be stuck cooking inside. So, I’ve been grilling. While a lot of it has been proteins like chicken and steaks, I’ve also been grilling vegetables and fruits. The open flames and wood… Continue reading Grilled Chicken and Corn Salad
