I have been wanting to get another roast done on the grill for a while. At the same time, I wanted to keep it simple without a lot of prep time, because we always seem to end up busy and forget to get things out soon enough to give them a long marinade or lots of … Continue reading Balsamic Sirloin Tip Roast

Grilled Steaks with Cumin Cherry Tomatoes
The flavor of cumin could be described as the "definitive" spice of foods we typically associate with the Southwest US and Mexico. Of course, it is also a signature flavor of many dishes from the Middle East, Northern Africa, Northern India, Nepal, and many other places around the world. It is among the most widely used spices in … Continue reading Grilled Steaks with Cumin Cherry Tomatoes
Smoked Pork Spare Ribs
Say the words "spare ribs" to nearly any red blooded American male, and his saliva glands will kick into high gear. There is something about digging in with your fingers and eating meat right off the bone that satisfies our "id" and reconnects us with our primal ancestors. It's no wonder that parts of the … Continue reading Smoked Pork Spare Ribs
Wine-Herb Grilled Chicken
Grilling is a great way to cook just about anything (in my opinion, at least), and chicken is no exception. Chicken can still end up a bit bland, however, unless it has a good rub or marinade prior to going over the coals (it also helps to use bone-in pieces). So when you want to … Continue reading Wine-Herb Grilled Chicken
Onion & Bacon Grilled Turkey Breast
It's no secret we have an affinity for bacon. I mean, who doesn't? It embodies nearly all of the things our primitive taste buds crave - salt, fat, smokiness, and perhaps a hint of sweet (depending on the brine and cure ingredients). And when used as a "wrapper" for other meat during cooking, it becomes … Continue reading Onion & Bacon Grilled Turkey Breast
Orange Ginger Marinated Pork “Ribs”
Country-style "ribs" on a hog are actually a cut coming from the loin just behind the blade portion of the shoulder, which is referred to as the "butt" (as in a Boston Butt roast). Apparently, whoever named the cuts of meat on a hog wasn't very inept at basic swine anatomy...but that's not a topic for this site. … Continue reading Orange Ginger Marinated Pork “Ribs”
Ginger-Hoisin Cedar Planked Salmon
After nearly two weeks on vacation - including a 4-day drive down to Arizona with stops in Las Vegas (we didn't gamble a dime), the Hoover Dam (and the new Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tilman Memorial Bridge), the Grand Canyon, and a week in Scottsdale - we are back home. We got to experience both unseasonably warm (it … Continue reading Ginger-Hoisin Cedar Planked Salmon
Grapefruit Margarita Chicken
Whoever stated that necessity is the mother of invention got it partly right. When it comes to cooking, invention is often the result of having a limited set of ingredients to work with, coupled with the need to use up things before they spoil. Such situations are credited as the origins of chili, pizza, countless soups and stews...even "chop suey." Our … Continue reading Grapefruit Margarita Chicken
Quick Grilled Pork Chops
Often (usually mid-week) we find ourselves looking for something quick and simple to put on the grill and have ready to eat in no time. Another time when this strategy works well is if you are away from home but still need a good main dish to make with limited resources. This is one of those recipes, … Continue reading Quick Grilled Pork Chops
Grandpa Don’s Bugachi (Teriyaki Beef Skewers)
Just over a week ago, Karen posted a recipe that started out with a small tribute to a great man who I never got the chance to meet...but I still feel blessed to experience his presence every time we have a gathering with her family. Her Grandpa Don's legacy lives on in some way with … Continue reading Grandpa Don’s Bugachi (Teriyaki Beef Skewers)
