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. I mean, my house is already hot enough, why in the world… Continue reading Grilled Fennel-rubbed Pork Chops with Nectarines

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
Lemon Garlic Pork Tenderloin with Orzo Salad
The month of July means a lot of things: summer, fireworks, the pool, the beach and of course the grill. Yup, if you haven’t already, it’s time to dust off your grill and get cookin’!

Grilled Lamb Chops and Herb Salad
I’ve been doing a lot of grilling lately. I just love cooking outside over an open flame when it’s warm, and since I live by the ocean, feeling that cool ocean breeze while grilling… well nothing makes me happier. So, I’m out there as often as I can be. While I love grilling vegetables and… Continue reading Grilled Lamb Chops and Herb 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
Grilled Garlic Chicken Tenders
Every year for the 4th of July we always have a block party. Everyone on the block gets together and we play games, listen to music, drink cocktails and of course barbecue. There are the standard burgers and dogs, but there are also the not so standard chicken, ribs and whatever anyone else wants to… Continue reading Grilled Garlic Chicken Tenders
Grilled Chicken and Strawberries with Balsamic Syrup
It’s so funny the way summer works here in the South Bay. One day it’ll be cold and foggy and in the low 60’s, or what we call June Gloom. Then the next day, usually right around the official start of summer, it’ll be sunny and hot, like in the 90’s hot. When it gets… Continue reading Grilled Chicken and Strawberries with Balsamic Syrup
Grilled Lemon-Garlic Chicken with Roasted Potatoes
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
