Modified from: Barbecue! Bible by Steven Raichlen Yes, this is yet another post about meat on a stick. We are just plain nuts about grilling meat on skewers (and there are those that would say we are just plain nuts, period). I’m pretty fond of a good sweet-salty combination, which led me to the recipe… Continue reading Korean Honey-Sesame Chicken Skewers

If you’re looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, these sausages could be just what you need! I found these at Whole Food and picked them up to have on hand for one of those days you just don’t feel like cooking from scratch. Whether it is a long day at work, you forget… Continue reading Product Review: Bilinski’s All Natural Chicken Sausages
Paprika-Cumin Marinated Sirloin Steak and Medley of Roasted Squash
Adapted from How to Cook Meat Last week we splurged and ordered 40 pounds of grass-fed, grass-finished Angus beef for the freezer. If you recall, I had to do a major freezer clean-out to accommodate the giant beef back ribs I had previously ordered. I don’t know how, but we managed to squeeze almost all… Continue reading Paprika-Cumin Marinated Sirloin Steak and Medley of Roasted Squash
Seared Tuna with Mixed Greens and Lemon-Tahini dressing
A week or so ago, I was rushed for time at lunch, so I picked up a little tray of seared tuna from the sushi station at Whole Foods and I ate it at the kitchen counter while unpacking my groceries. To paraphrase Ulysses Everett McGill in O Brother, Where Art Thou?, that small taste… Continue reading Seared Tuna with Mixed Greens and Lemon-Tahini dressing
Lime-Curry Pork Skewers
We enjoyed the chicken satay so much last week, we decided to skewer some pork tenderloin! The Lime-Curry marinade was wonderful with the pork tenderloin, adding multiple layers of spicy flavors to what tends to be a relatively bland-tasting cut of meat. The recipe for this marinade was inspired by an Epicurious/Gourmet recipe, “Grilled Lime-Curry-Rubbed… Continue reading Lime-Curry Pork Skewers
Pot Roast with Carrots and Parsnips
The “She Cooks” portion of our show had to go out of town for a few days. Pot roast was requested, so “He Cleans” could “clean up” the leftovers while she was gone. There are not too many things simpler to cook than pot roast – it has few ingredients, you can cook it in… Continue reading Pot Roast with Carrots and Parsnips
Perp-Walk Chicken
aka Grill-Roasted Chicken with Lemon, Garlic, and Fresh Herbs Saturday, May 21, 2011. This date stands out for many reasons. First, as I’m sure you heard, it was purported to be Judgment Day. As 6 pm slid past uneventfully while we sipped Pinot Noir on our peaceful patio, with this chicken roasting away in the… Continue reading Perp-Walk Chicken
Roasted Coconut Cashew Nuts
Adapted from Thai The Essence of Asian Cooking, Judy Bastyra with recipes by Becky Johnson. In anticipation of our flight to Albuquerque this weekend, I have been looking for some interesting, primal-friendly snacks for the plane. Traveling in coach, one usually gets the choice of peanuts, cookie wafers, or chips – or a deep breath… Continue reading Roasted Coconut Cashew Nuts
Grilled Veal Rib Chops with Rosemary and Garlic
I have a special fondness for rib chops…be it beef, veal, pork, or lamb. It must be something to do with the primal urge to gnaw the last remnants of fire-licked, juicy meat from the bone. I’ve never claimed to be lady-like or restrained when it comes to eating! A rib chop differs from a… Continue reading Grilled Veal Rib Chops with Rosemary and Garlic
Asparagus with mushrooms
Finally it is looking like spring outside, and that means lots of fresh asparagus in season! Most of the time we roast or grill asparagus. It’s so simple to just toss it with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, then put it in a 400F oven for about ten minutes, and serve with maybe… Continue reading Asparagus with mushrooms
Mushrooms Stuffed with Cream Cheese and Bacon
This isn’t so much a recipe, as all the ingredients are right there in the title! However they are a quick and easy appetizer…and perfect for gobbling down while you wait for the grill to heat up. We enjoyed these on Steak Night with a glass (or two) of Cabernet. Ingredients: 18 button mushrooms (I… Continue reading Mushrooms Stuffed with Cream Cheese and Bacon
