Make You Moan Out Loud Fajita Rub
This is as close as I can get you to the incredibly smokey beef fajitas I grilled the other night. When we have friends and family over, I have to set aside my blogger hat and just focus on the event itself. Otherwise, I'm liable to implode. Entertaining does not come naturally to me. I cannot "entertain." It's stressful for me. However, I've learned that I CAN have friends and family over... More...

This recipe is about the marinade I soaked the chicken boobs in. That colorful vegetable medley on the side is Sweet & zesty Fiesta Salad. It works as an addictive dip or a beautiful side to the chicken. I've also eaten it all by itself for a light lunch. It's very versatile. As for the marinade, the perky lime juice mingles with the fresh onion and spicy garlic. The parsley and rosemary... More...

INCREDIBLE FLAVOR! & the BEST grilled photo I've ever taken. Let's take a moment to drool together, shall we? Pork chops are not all created equal. Until now, I've never been a big fan. That's because I was buying them from the grocery store and not straight from the farm. I found these while shopping the Sulphur Springs Farmers' Market and bought them from Sloans Creek Farm. Go to their... More...

My first attempt at grilling a chicken with a beer can in its butt. Uh, fun? Slightly challenging. Most definitely delicious. But I don't think the beer had anything to do with it. This qualifies as a Simple Daily Recipe because there was barely anything to do. I wanted it to be a little more than it was, but it just turned out to be plain ol'simple. HERE'S ALL IT TOOK 1 (3 1/2 to 4 pound)... More...

Grilled fresh zucchini can be eaten alone, on the side, or my favorite way, as a topping on grilled pizza. It can be prepared ahead and eaten at room temperature or hot from the grill. Anyway you slice it, it's takes about 10 minutes to cook on a gas grill and it's super easy to prepare. (Yellow Squash can be grilled the very same way.) HERE'S ALL IT TAKES To keep this quick and simple, use... More...

Still House Barbecue Sauce carries its heat right up front on the tongue, but it has the right amount of dark brown sugar to keep it bearable. For folks that enjoy milder barbecue sauces, cut back on the Tabasco sauce. Even using 1 teaspoon of Tabasco sauce makes a kickin' sauce. From Barbecue! Bible : Sauces, Rubs, and Marinades, Bastes, Butters, and Glazes ~ Steven Raichlen STILL HOUSE BARBECUE... More...

INCREDIBLE FLAVOR! "Oh I've never felt love like this before, opened my eyes! No, I never felt-love-like-this-befor-or-or-ore." CONFESSION: I've never GRILLED a brisket. I've never done anything with a brisket, except eat it. I don't normally get fancy with the spices, or venture into the unusual recipes. Not because I'm scared, only because I have loved ones who set my culinary boundaries. However,... More...
