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

Rosemary Flank Steak with Fig Salsa
One of my favorite things to cook on the grill is steak. I love marinating it for hours in a variety of spices, salts and vinegars. I love listening to it sizzle as I lay it on the hot grates. I love watching it sear and then trying to patiently wait before I cut into… Continue reading Rosemary Flank Steak with Fig Salsa
Grilled Lamb Chops with Cucumber Relish
My sons are picky eaters. It seems that whenever I ask A what he wants for dinner, he comes back with a very short list: pizza, chicken nuggets or hot dogs. Every so often I’ll get a request for tacos or quesadillas, but most of the time it’s the first three. So while Friday night… Continue reading Grilled Lamb Chops with Cucumber Relish
Grilled Skirt Steak with Fruit Salsa
Summer is coming to a close, which means soon all those delicious stone fruits will be gone. But don’t cry just yet. There are still a few days of warm weather left and all that beautiful fruit is still available, which means there’s still time to make this wonderful dinner. I found this recipe while… Continue reading Grilled Skirt Steak with Fruit Salsa
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
Chile-Lime Pork
I love summer time – the warm air, the sun not setting until 7:30 or 8, our lovely backyard. All these things make it the ideal kitchen, especially if you love to grill, which I do. But since I’m me, I don’t just want to cook hamburgers and hot dogs all summer. I also like… Continue reading Chile-Lime Pork
Grilled Pork Chops with Peach Barbecue Sauce
I love this time of year. Not only can I finally pull my tank tops and shorts out of their drawers, but with the beach just a few blocks away, swimming has become my family’s national pastime. But this warm weather also means more dinners are being prepared via grill. There’s nothing better than cooking… Continue reading Grilled Pork Chops with Peach Barbecue Sauce
Ginger-Sesame Drumsticks
Even though the temperature has dropped a few degrees here, it’s still sunny and 70. Temps like that mean I still have a few more weeks of grilling before I have to cover my barbecue for the winter. However daylight saving time just ended which means it’s getting darker a lot earlier and I don’t… Continue reading Ginger-Sesame Drumsticks
Grilled Citrus Sangria
Since it’s been so hot, cold drinks have been at the top of my list these days and nothing’s better cold than a tall glass of sangria. You’re probably thinking “Sangria? “That’s not a classic cocktail. That’s something I order at the Mexican restaurant when I go out to eat.” While that’s true, it’s also… Continue reading Grilled Citrus Sangria
Grilled Steak Lettuce Cups with Finger Limes
Ever since I first saw finger limes on Cooking on the Weekends, I’ve been wanting to try them and use them in a recipe. Well, I finally got my wish thanks (again) to Camp Blogaway. See there were two little baggies of them from Shanley Farms in my swag bag. I was so excited when… Continue reading Grilled Steak Lettuce Cups with Finger Limes
