I love baked sweet potatoes, but they take so long to make. Plus, you have to heat up your oven and thereby heat up your house. Not what you are looking for when it is hot outside. So I started to roast the sweet potatoes in coals of the grill. You need a charcoal grill…
I love shrimp so much that I purchase it whenever it is on sale. I don’t mind buying frozen shrimp as all of the shrimp sold in supermarkets/fish markets where I live sell previously frozen shrimp. Therefore, I like to thaw the shrimp under my own conditions. I usually thaw it in a strainer that…
I love tomatoes! I am the weird guy at parties that eats the cherry tomatoes in the vegetable tray. It seems as if I am the only person that eats them. So I decided to grill some up as a side dish. They were delicious! They were a tad bit tart from the balsamic vinegar making…
I am a huge fan of grilled potatoes. I have previously made potato coins, but some fell through the grates and I wanted to try something a tad bit different. So, I decided to try potato planks. I cut the whole potato lengthwise into 4-5 slices. Then I season and the rest is history. I…
I like to consider myself a grill master. I love to cook everything on the grill. However, I was browsing through the website yesterday and I determined I was seriously short on grilled side dishes. There are a ton of sides that go great with grilled foods, but not so many sides that are prepared…
Chicken is a great meat for grilling. Chicken is a blank canvas just waiting for you to add a few ingredients to make it pop. This recipe is one of those simple yet extraordinary dishes. It takes 10 minutes to prep, 1-4 hours to marinate and 16-25 minutes to grill. Then there is the flavor….
With the 4th of July right around the corner, I wanted to share my perfect burger recipe. It is a simple recipe, but takes a little time to make. Grinding your own meat allows you to get more flavorful cuts. That way you do not have to add a ton of seasoning to the burger,…
I love to grill. It is as simple as that. I love whole meals that can be made outdoors. I have discovered that stone fruit works great on the grill. This is the type of fruit with a hard pit in the center. Peaches, nectarines, etc. The other day I came across this article where…
I love grilled chicken. However, if you cook boneless skinless chicken breasts life can become dry and boring. So I devised a surefire way to cook chicken, keep it moist and give it a smokey bacony flavor. Yep, skewer the chicken with a couple strips of bacon. The fat keeps the chicken moist and imparts…
It has been really nice down here in Richmond. So I cleaned the grill out last week and it is officially grilling season. I wanted to make something new but was’t quite sure. I also did not want to have to go to the store. So using what I had in the kitchen, I created…
I recently went to the closing of a local bookstore and picked up a copy of Jim Tarantino’s Marinades, Rubs, Brines, Cures & Glazes. Â It is a great book, but near the end in the Asian section he had a great recipe for Honey and Sake Glazed Shrimp. This sounded amazing to me. Â So I…
Sometimes you want breakfast, sometimes you want lunch. Whenever there is an egg involved, well, it is love. I love eggs on burgers. I can’t believe that it took me this long to make it for the blog. The runny yolk permeating the meat and mixing with the cheese. Well it is divine and down…
The other night Dana wanted some steak. So I went to the store and discovered top sirloin steaks were on sale. They are a rather inexpensive steak, but they grill up beautifully. The sirloin is a cut from the rear of the animal. There is a bottom sirloin steak and a top sirloin. The top…
