I made this recipe up years ago for a camping trip with extended family, and then sort of forgot about it over time. Karen's mom, however, didn't - because it was the only time Karen's dad actually ate fish, and then asked for seconds. So when the family was recently planning a birthday party for Karen's … Continue reading Wine & Herb Grilled Salmon

Pesto Grilled Chicken
Sorry for the absence everyone - I've been trying to adjust to 60+ hour work weeks (in addition to a brutal commute) on the latest project I've been assigned to, and it's been difficult to get things written up that we've been doing. Adjusting to this new work schedule has also been cause for a few … Continue reading Pesto Grilled Chicken
Broccoli Beef Stir Fry
Stir fry is a great way to make a "one pot" meal with tons of veggies, meat, and other goodies. This recipe originated as a stir fry classic, but adds mushrooms and bell peppers, along with a sauce that has just a touch of heat and sweetness. Another benefit is that they take very little … Continue reading Broccoli Beef Stir Fry
Garlic Herb “Stuffed” Chicken Breast
This recipe is perfect for a weeknight where you don't want to spend a lot of time getting things ready. We're starting with simple grilled chicken breast, but livening it up with a combination of garlic, lemon juice, and fresh herbs from our garden. Gather Up: 4 chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless (about 3 … Continue reading Garlic Herb “Stuffed” Chicken Breast
Sesame Orange Pork Loin
Today's recipe is an easy pork roast that takes almost no effort to prep and only about an hour to cook. You do need to marinade for a little while, but that can be done before you leave for work, or even right when you get home if you don't mind eating just a little … Continue reading Sesame Orange Pork Loin
Margarita Pork Chops
This recipe is packed with flavor and requires very little prep work before starting it on the grill. The trick is using highly acidic lime juice for a short marinade, followed by basting the meat regularly while cooking at a slightly lower temperature to continue adding flavor. While you've got the grill heated up, you … Continue reading Margarita Pork Chops
Lemon Basil Round Steaks
We've got a quick one today for the middle of the week, now that we've got some good weather to call summer out here. Start out making a double-batch of our lemon vinaigrette dressing recipe, then reserve a bit to use on your salad while using the rest as a wet rub for some round … Continue reading Lemon Basil Round Steaks
Grilled Onions and Tomatoes
It is no secret to those close to me that raw tomatoes and I don't get along. Something about having a whole bite of nothing but tomato simply doesn't agree with my palette. Combine them with something else - like a bunless hamburger wrapped in lettuce, or sliced with mozzarella, basil, and balsamic vinegar - … Continue reading Grilled Onions and Tomatoes
Tapenade Pork Chops
During the week, we often use leftover sauces and dressings from one meal as the basis for a new variation. Today is an example - a quick recipe based on the ideas at the end of our sun-dried tomato tapenade recipe. Unfortunately, it was also prepared during our recent "camera malfunction" period, so I've only got a … Continue reading Tapenade Pork Chops
Fava Bean Hummus
Fava beans and other legumes aren't normally on our menu. However, we will make an occasional exception for things that come with our CSA share (corn on the cob and baby potatoes both come to mind). So, when our CSA share included young fava beans for two straight weeks, we had enough saved up to … Continue reading Fava Bean Hummus
