Hamburger Wedge Salad
You’ll never miss the bun when you serve aย juicy, protein-rich burger over thisย crisp wedge salad…and you need not be cutting carbs to adore this meal! Various sources credit the early fame of the wedge salad to diners in the 1950s and 1960s. Its appeal waned in the 1970s as consumer…
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…
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.

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.

Grilling Recipe Roundup
For some, grilling is a year-round activity. ย For others, the first signs of warm weather mean a return to the aroma of charcoal and those unparalleled, smoky flavors. Although we occasionally grill throughout the winter months, nothing makes me happier than firing up the grill when it’s warm enough to enjoy a leisurely meal on…
Grilled Balsamic Carrots with Rosemary and Thyme
When they appear on the dinner plate, cooked carrots don’t always elicit oohs and aahs. When carrots are grilled or roasted, however, their flavor is enhanced and they don’t become mushy. They are really quite good! I occasionally roast carrots in the winter and love to use my Maple-Dijon Vinaigrette as a marinade. Grilling is…
Cheesy Grilled Pulled Pork (or Chicken) Sandwiches
There is nothing I love more than turning leftovers into something new and delicious. Sometimes, it enables us to get dinner on the table when we otherwise wouldn’t. Beyond providing time savings, repurposing leftovers saves precious dollars. For this casual but yummy dinner, I started with the remains of the pulled pork barbecue I cooked…
