6 Great Veggies to Grill
Is there anything better than lighting up the grill, tossing on some nice fresh food, and spending time with friends and family? I’m not sure there is. It’s absolutely one of my favorite ways to spend a lazy afternoon in the summer. If you grill a lot though, you might find it fun to change it up from standard grill items like burgers and hot dogs. I have a big list of vegetables that I love to grill. Grilling them is actually fairly s... Read More
Bulgogi Burger
Bulgogi marinade is simple to make, very flavorful, and super versatile. Once you have all the ingredients in your pantry, it’s one of those sauces that you can just whip up and throw on for an awesome dinner that requires no forethought – like that flank steak that has been in your freezer. This Bulgogi Burger is a great example of this flavorful Korean sauce’s versatility. Mix it into some ground beef and you have a new twist on burge... Read More
Surf and Turf Kabobs
Surf and turf is one of my absolute favorite dishes. Simultaneous steak and seafood is always a great idea! Of course, if you order it at a restaurant you might consider a second mortgage -- it can get pricey. Making it at home, though, is very doable. This surf and turf kabob recipe is easy to make and completely irresistible. I wanted to keep the seasoning for the kabobs simple and also wanted to make something that would go well with...

Sweet & Sticky Grilled Chicken
My summertime diet can be broken down into four categories: Ice Cream, S’mores, Salad and/or Berries and Grilled Chicken. Sometimes it teeters more on the Ice Cream/S’mores Side, so when that happens, I like to balance things out with a nice dinner of grilled chicken. With salad or berries on the side. And more ice cream/s’mores for dessert (they are just TOO GOOD, OK?). This Sweet & Sticky Grilled Chicken has been on the regular fo... Read More

5 Best Fish to Grill
Forget burgers and hot dogs – fish is awesome on the grill and much better for you. It's easy to make the same summer faves ad nauseam. But we can only eat so many ribs and steak before it starts to weigh us down – literally and figuratively – so why not try cooking up some lighter fare on the grill? Certain fish are better left to the indoor chef. Cod, tilapia and flounder may be too delicate to toss on the grill. However, other varie... Read More

Red White and Blue Burgers
Is there anything more American than a big, juicy burger? I’m not sure there is – except maybe a burger with various patriotic decorations sprinkled around it. My goal with this recipe was to make the perfect hamburger for the 4th of July, which is right around the corner. The red white and blue burger is not only made from scratch and delicious, but it has three fun toppings, each one representing a color of the flag! Of course, st... Read More

Passion Fruit and Basil Chutney
When I made ice cream for a living I became very familiar with the flavor of passion fruit, without ever knowing what one looked like! While we were a mostly all natural company and made a large percentage of our flavorings in-house from real ingredients, it wasn't monetarily possible to use real passion fruit. So it was one of the few syrups we had in the back room. We would have just cut the flavor all together, but it was so insanely popular... Read More

How to Grill Fruit
Your barbecue grill is good for more than just charring up racks of ribs – you can make dessert with it, too. You've probably already broken in your grill for the season, busting out some ribs, chicken or perhaps even a steak or two. But get your mind off the butcher for a minute and think about how to use your grill to bring out the best in this season's fruit. If hot fruit doesn't immediately appeal to you, just think about the caramelize... Read More
Grilled Chipotle Pork Tenderloin
Well, shiver me tenderloin. Can you believe summer starts in like 25 seconds? You know what this means, don't you? You know what you have to do, right? You know what has to happen, I'm sure? You know where I'm going with this, yes? Just get to it, for the love, before you break your hand punching something? Okay already. GRILL YOUR FACE OFF. Come on baby light that FIY-YA. The blaze of glory! And it BURNS BURNS BURN, the ring of fire! Burn... Read More

Chicken Souvlaki Kabobs
When I first heard of Chicken Souvlaki, I immediately wrote it off as a greasy, double-fried something or other that I wasn’t interested in. But this was before I had actually seen or tasted it. As it turns out, this marinated chicken dish is wonderful and craveworthy – something that my whole family loves. Go figure! But there are only so many chicken souvlaki sandwiches we can eat. At some point, you want it to be a little different…w... Read More
