I’m pretty fired up this week! I got a brand new gas grill with all of the bells and whistles, including a really cool built-in rotisserie system that tucks away when not in use. I can already see a lot of meat spinning on this bad boy in the next few months! Right after I...
So I have to start this week’s recipe with a little rant. How can it be that a person living in Florida can buy shrimp that was raised on a farm overseas and then shipped here cheaper than shrimp caught about 30 miles away? No wonder these folks can’t make a living shrimping anymore! So...
There are so many great uses for beer. It’s great when it it is hot or even when it’s not. You can drink it on the coast or wherever you like it the most. You can drink it here, you can drink it there, you can drink it (almost) anywhere! Uh, sorry, my son is...
My favorite ethnic food by far, is Mexican. The cheese, the jalapenos, the mariachis… its pretty amazing. So, of course, the idea of a burger inspired by some of my fav Mexican flavors sounded like a great match. The guacamole added to the burger gives it a clean, fresh taste and is a perfect balance...
One of our iPhone app readers was nice enough to leave a review on the iTunes store. Their only comment was that he or she wished there was something about brining. We actually have done a few brining recipes, including an awesome brined pork roast as well as a brined turkey, but I’ll forgive them for...
Here’s a quick rub I like to put together for an easy grilled pork tenderloin recipe. It’s Spring now, so I also wanted to use this as an opportunity to suggest you get out there and plant some herbs that can be used for grilling. One of the easiest herbs to care for is rosemary....
I never knew I had a “thing” for coconut milk until the first time I sat down in a Thai restaurant. The person I was with was from Thailand and she suggested I start with Red curry chicken, which is a Thai chicken dish of red curry, coconut milk and some form of magical “you...
Flank steak soaks up marinades at about the same rate I devour a plate full of red curry chicken at the Thai restaurant. Flank steak’s love for marinades allows me to throw together a quick marinade, give it a good soak and have a great meal in less than an hour and a half…a weekday...
It’s 9PM on Valentine’s Day and my wife is sound asleep on the couch. I’d like to think these shrimp were so good that she decided to call it a day, but it probably had more to do with the glass of wine she enjoyed after the kids went to bed. Regardless of the reasons...
Kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper, medium rare…no need to over-think this one. You bought this delicious hunk of meat, now your job is to not screw it up! Grilled ribeye steaks are a pretty forgiving cut of meat, believe it or not. The fat marbling contained in a ribeye steak makes for a very flavorful...
