Posted in Recipes, Vegetables

Up until this point, we have only covered a few dessert recipe on GrillingCompanion.  Let me reassure you, we haven’t purposely been ignoring desserts.   I certainly haven’t excluded them from my daily consumption, so I wouldn’t  propose we not cover desserts on the site!  It’s just that we spend so much time grilling, taking photos [...]

Put Down the Brush and Use Soap to Help Prevent Flare Ups

September 29th, 2009

Do you find yourself trying to convince people that “a little char never hurt anybody”?  Or maybe you stick to grilling meats with removable skins, so that you can peal off the burnt and fossilized skin and reveal the perfectly grilled meat?  If this sounds like you, you probably have a problem with grill flare [...]

Grilled and Smoked Salsa with Roasted Pablano and Red Peppers

September 8th, 2009

My wife, obviously delirious from toddle-induced insomnia, decided to challenge me to a salsa competition this morning.  It is Labor Day and we had a cook-out to go to later in the day, so we knew we would have some impartial judges available in the afternoon.  I can’t pass up a good challenge, so I [...]

My garden over-floweth with basil these days so I am always looking for a way to use it in our cooking.  There aren’t too many things that go together better than lemons and basil, so I decided to throw some together this week to marinate the split chicken breast that I bought, on sale.  Most [...]

I’ll admit, when shopping for a cook-out, my instinctual path takes me from the meat section down the cold beer aisle.  I love wine, but the Florida heat doesn’t make me really want to drink it while standing over a hot grill.  For these reasons, I often neglect some of my guests and my wife [...]

This Old House adds This New Outdoor Kitchen.  Well, they give some advice on how to add that outdoor kitchen without breaking the bank.

I love the site WikiHow.  I always stop by their place on my daily wandering around the World Wide Webernet.  My son and I have done a couple of cool projects based on their ideas and I think I just found another good reason to visit Lowes for materials.  This article demonstrates how to make [...]

I am a fan of Consumer Reports.  Not because I take their word on every purchase, but because they are a great starting point for research before buying a big ticket item.  I guess this is the nerd in me, but I pay more attention to the details in their tests than I do the [...]

Tired of the same old potato salad?  Maybe you are and like me, looked up a bunch of recipes that had more ingredients for the sauce than in the rest of the salad combined?  I tend to skip right past those recipes, especially if I waited until the last minute (again) to try and plan [...]
