The weather is so weird! Last weekend it was in the 60’s in the South Bay and the past couple days it’s been in the low to mid-90’s. I guess with no warning we’re officially into summer. And if there’s one thing I love about summer it means more cooking outside. And by cooking, I… Continue reading Grilled Pepperoni and Sausage Pizza

Did you know that this weekend is officially the start of summer? Okay, I know that summer officially starts June 21st, but a lot of people consider Memorial Day the beginning.

Salt Slab Brownie S’mores
Labor Day is Monday, which means it’s a three-day weekend. And that means there’s time for one more party before school is back in session and work is all adults think about. Most of these parties involve backyards and barbecues, which means hot dogs and burgers. Both are easy and delicious options for this weekend,… Continue reading Salt Slab Brownie S’mores
Grilled Fennel-rubbed Pork Chops with Nectarines
During the summer there’s one thing I love to do, and that’s grill. I know, I know… I’ve been talking about grilling a lot recently, but that’s because when it’s this hot out, the last thing I want to do is cook inside.

Grilled Chicken with Kalamata Olive Vinaigrette
My grill is my favorite cooking appliance… next to my 40’s Western Holly oven of course. One is inside and one is outside, but both make amazing meals when used correctly. While my Western Holly is running constantly from November through May, once the weather warms up in June or July, my grill takes over… Continue reading Grilled Chicken with Kalamata Olive Vinaigrette

Paprika Pork Chops and Hearts of Palm Salad
One of the benefits of being a food blogger is that sometimes companies send me products with which to create recipes. Sometimes the products are good and sometimes they’re not so good. When the products aren’t good, I thank the company and move on. But when they are good, I can’t wait to create a… Continue reading Paprika Pork Chops and Hearts of Palm Salad

Korean Barbecued Chicken Lettuce Cups
When I grew up, my family and I had Chinese take out on a regular basis. I always loved the fried rice, dumplings and egg rolls. They were delicious and I always looked forward to those nights when we ordered out. Then in college, I had two Asian roommates. One was Korean and the other… Continue reading Korean Barbecued Chicken Lettuce Cups
Grilled Sausage Salad
I don’t know about you, but when it’s hot, I’m never very hungry. I’ll nibble here and there, but I never like big, heavy meals because there’s just too much food that usually ends up making me feel really blech. So, when it’s hot, I tend to eat light and that means salad. While I… Continue reading Grilled Sausage Salad
Grilled Orange Chicken
I hate being inside when the weather’s warm. All I want to do is hang by the pool or play on the beach or just lay in the backyard and read a book or magazine. The last thing I want to do is be stuck inside and cook over a hot stove, especially when my… Continue reading Grilled Orange Chicken
