Bourbon & Coca Cola Steaks

Typically, we keep steak preparation simple in our house. A sprinkle of spice rub is often as fancy as it gets. This clever steak marinade, compliments of Michaela Martin Kenkel (who has a delightful blog called An Affair from the Heart), earned points for originality. Until seeing her recipe, I thought of bourbon and Coke as…

Old-Fashioned Horseradish Pickles

Make crisp, tangy pickles just like your grandmother used to make them with these step-by-step instructions for naturally fermented pickles. It’s a truly simple process and you can taste and adjust as you go.    What is the difference between pickling and fermentation?

Grilled Apricot Shrimp with Harissa Aioli

These flavor-packed shrimp will impress all who try. They’re equally perfect as an entree or appetizer and can be enjoyed hot off the grill or at room temperature.       From week to week I toilโ€”probably longer than I should๏ผover which recipes to share on this page. The decision becomes more difficult when a…

Grilled Chicken Kabobs

First, I must apologize to the readers who have subscribed to receive recipe posts via email. Yesterday, I inadvertently sent a draft of this post.   Although I am sure to make an occasional ‘woops’ (my family would tease that I make them daily!), it is truly my goal not to send pointless emails. The…

Summer Peach Sangria

A summery spin on the classic sangria, you can use all peaches or mix it up with a combination of fruit, like mangos, cherries, nectarines, plums and/or apples.   After living for a short time in Spain, I developed a love of paella, tortillas Espaรฑolas, and a certain time-honored, fruit-filled drink. Though my recipe for…

Sesame Soy Salmon (an easy 4-ingredient marinade)

Four simple ingredients come together with ease in this flavor-packed marinade that makes the most of salmon and so much more!   I could hardly let a summer pass without sharing some version of my favorite 3-ingredient marinade. This marinade has been quite popular with my family and friends for at least a decade now,…

Little Bites

Too often, I make new things but don’t get around to sharing them.  I jot down the ingredients I’ve thrown together with every intention of typing them later.  The piece of scrap paper I’ve inevitably grabbed to write down the recipe is, occasionally, never to be found again.  Or the pile of papers I placed…

Barbecued Bean Salad

A crowd-pleasing, family-friendly alternative to baked beans, this protein-rich salad can be prepared in advance and the flavor improves over time.   As I walked to school with my younger son one morning last month, he mentioned that his 6th grade history classโ€™s Colonial unit would be culminating with a special lunch. All students were…

Slow Grilled Baby Back Ribs

The cooking time for these crowd-pleasing ribs is long but the effort is minimal โ€“ and the results are nothing short of finger-licking good! Though my husband doesnโ€™t do a lot of cooking, his talents shine bright when it comes to the grill. He has the Midas touch when it comes to tender, juicy chicken…

Favorite Thin Gluten-Free Pizza Crust

When planning a recent extended family birthday dinner, my sister-in-law joked that we are a pathetic bunch with the combined list of food restrictions.  Gluten-free, dairy-free, seafood allergy, vegetarian, and allergies to soy and a few other common foods thrown in for good measure.  Picky eaters are the least of our worries! But in all…
