Grilled Fontina-Stuffed Meatballs & Veggie Kabobs

Grilled meatballs stuffed with cheese?  Clever!  Accompanied with grilled vegetables, one of which is artichokes?  Genius!  Balsamic Glaze goes swimmingly with this combination, and so does a nice steamy bowl of rice.

Grilled Eggplant w/Tomatoes & Feta

A summer vegetable dish served either as a side or light meal prepared by my mother while visiting their beach house over the vacation. Another winner I thought I’d share with Tips which originally came from marthastewart.com.

Summer Plum Crostata

I may have said it before, but I’m saying it again. I’m a big fan of free-form tart. The fact that it can look imperfect is perfect. And what’s not to like about juicy sweet summer fruit served in it’s own little dough...

German Pork Burger

No cheese on this burger.  A different twist to ground pork intense in flavor and moist.  (Grind the juniper berries in a spice grinder or coffee bean grinder if unable to locate ground berries.)

Feta-Stuffed Chicken Breasts

An easy chicken dish to prep for the entire family. Not just your ordinary sautéed chicken because it’s stuffed with seasoned cheese! Need I say more?

Cajun Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo

Spice up an ordinary Alfredo dish with a little Cajun flare. Give Closet Cooking‘s 20 minute-to-make recipe a go. Lesson the degree of how much Cajun spice you use if desired. Or add… up to you.

Arugula & Peach Salad w/Creamy Chive Vinaigrette

Enjoy the juicy, ripe peaches out there on the market.  Try mixing slices with crisp arugula and an easy-to-prep creamy chive dressing.  One of my faves.

Blueberry Smash

‘Tis the season to drink your blueberries. Of course mixed with citrus, mint and vodka.

Basil Grilled Chicken

Quick. Easy. Delicious. Chicken entree in no time.

Oven-Baked Blueberry Pancake

Great idea from Martha Stewart Magazine… making a giant pancake so you aren’t standing over a hot griddle or stove making stacks while everyone else enjoys them. We know as the cooks in the family that to be true. The one to eat last....
