Grill the weekend away…
What are your plans this weekend? Are you taking a little time away? Hanging out with friends and family? Are you grilling? In my house we will be grilling for sure…and who knows what else. Whats on the grill? Are you doing burgers (like these sliders)? How about those fries I posted yesterday? Maybe some BBQ chicken or fish? The possibilities are really endless, including the beginning of a delicious dessert like these grilled pineapples. This last week The Hubby branched out a bit and threw some veggies and sausage links on the grill…and it was AMAZING!! Sausage? The Hubby and I love Costco. We get everything from meat…

Fries without any frying…
yep…you read that right. I give you fries all done with any frying, even better they are primarily done on the grill. Fries any way, anytime… I love potatoes any way you give them to me, but I really, really love fries. I mean is there anything better then a hot batch of fast food fries? Maybe the non-fast food version…but still fries. I am that girl that will actually crave them, and The Hubby is that amazing guy who will actually go get them when I want them…he is so awesome. As much as I love fries I am not picky about the variety of fry…I love the original version and…

simple, grilled salmon that is so good
Simple is sometimes so, so good. You know like an apple on a hot day, or just a simple scoop of vanilla ice cream…sometimes simple really is best. Salmon can be simple? Sure it can be, but it is a special simple. This salmon is seasoned with a favorite little blend, giving it a ton of flavor while still letting the fish be the star. You could definitely use some fresh herbs or additional spices if you wish, but this is a favorite blend for us. Grilled? Why? Why not? I mean it’s summer here in SE Texas and that is grilling weather. Anytime we can cook outside and…

The BEST Chicken Marinade
Marinades…oh let me tell you I love me a good marinade. They can be the make or break to a meal. What makes this the BEST marinade? First it is the combo of seasonings and fresh ingredients. There are your basics of salt & pepper, but then I also added in some paprika, cumin & chili powder for some extra flavor. Next comes some depth with Worcestershire sauce…this is my favorite ingredient to add that little extra something that will make you smile. Next comes the fresh ingredients…the fresh chopped onions, fresh parsley and fresh garlic. The combo alone with he olive oil is great, but wait there is something…

It’s time for a BBQ
As I have mentioned before we grill a lot around here. If it were up to me we would grill every meal in the summer, but I will settle for several in a week. For Friends and Family When The Hubby and I entertain the grill is normally on and many times you can find pork being grilled, (like this teriyaki version). Pork is perfect for grilling, it is quick and very versatile. It is always so fun to get everyone around the grill while enjoying a drink (or two) while enjoying the wonderful aroma only a grill can give. The Hubby and I also enjoy grilling for just the two…

Sweet & Spicy = AMAZNG BBQ Sauce
I have a secret dream. One that I have never told anyone…EVER! I dream of winning a BBQ sauce competition. Really? Yes, for reals. I have a recurring dream (or maybe its a nightmare) that I win a BBQ sauce competition at the Houston Rodeo. After having that dream for so long, I now have a desire to make BBQ sauce. I know it sounds weird…and let’s be honest I am a little different, but any chance I get to make my own BBQ sauce I jump on it. Fancy or Simple? Well I have done both. A simple BBQ Sauce and a Peach BBQ sauce (that would be the…

maple loving good
Pork chops are a go to dinner for The Hubby and I. I just love how versatile it is and how EASY it is to prepare. The other white meat… Those commercials always made me laugh so hard. This one still makes me laugh…I don’t know that I have ever danced in excitement over pork…but these people do! I will say though after having these pork chops, I might have done a little booty shake out of shear enjoyment…I’m just saying maybe I did. I LOVE versatility One of the best things about pork is it’s versatility. You can grill them, roast them, marinate them, dry rub them, top with sauces, eat…

honey butter corny, corn, corn
It is summer and that means it is time for CORN! It doesn’t matter how… I don’t know about your family but my family eats corn anyway we can. We love boiled corn, corn on the corn, kernel corn, creamed corn and of course popcorn…but my favorite is grilled corn for sure. Grilling makes it even better… Grilling corn on its own, without anything special is amazing…but when you add in some honey butter it becomes even better. I also love how easy grilling corn is. You can throw it on when you put your protein on and it will be done in no time, and you don’t have to heat…

simple chicken, with TONS of yum
Sometimes simple chicken really is the answer for dinner, and this simple grilled chicken is a perfect choice for dinner tonight!! A family affair One of my favorite family traditions is family dinner. We try to all get together (at least with us that live in SE Texas) at least once every few weeks and there is always good food. A few weeks a go The Brother and Sis-in-Law hosted family dinner and fixed this simple grilled chicken. Not only was it delicious but it is now a favorite! Now don’t let the name fool you, it may be simple to fix but there is nothing simple about the flavor.…

grilled goodness for DAD
Father’s Day is this weekend! That’s so crazy. I can’t believe it is already the middle of June and time to celebrate the men in our lives. Celebrating DAD In our home, Father’s Day has always included a home cooked meal, whatever my dad wants, and then typically we watch golf. The US Open Golf Tournament is usually on so we have to watch, & that is a must watch. Over time we have had everything from BBQ sandwich’s to pasta, but this year we are going to take things up a notch and light up the grill. Now I know what your thinking…the grill is Dad’s domain, but trust…
