Stacked Tomato Salad

I  make this every summer a few times throughout the season. It’s a great way to take advantage of the delicious varieties of heirloom tomatoes out in the market. The tapenade and dressing can be made ahead of time, or even try using your...

Grilled Gazpacho Salad w/Shrimp

For anyone who enjoys gazpacho, this is the main-course meal for you!  All of the ingredients you find in the classic chilled soup, however, this version requires a fork.

Grilled Pork Burgers w/Aioli

These burgers do take a little time to prep, but you can make them ahead of time and refrigerate. When you’re ready to grill them, allow each to get to room temp prior to grilling. Making the aioli sauce is not my forte, so I found that...

Barcelona Burgers

If you don’t know this already, I love burgers. While this version seems rather exotic, it’s easy to prep. The ingredients are either already in your pantry or you can find at local grocers. The olive bread completes the combo, but any...

Grilled Cajun Chicken Salad

Love me a salad with a Cajun kick.  Marinating the chicken in buttermilk keeps it tender when grilled.

Grilled Broccoli w/Chipotle-Lime Butter & Queso Fresco

Chipotle, lime and butter has been my go-to over the last few grilling seasons… try it out on grilled broccoli. Yes, grilled broccoli. It is surprisingly yummy.

Orzo Salad w/Vegetables & Herbs

Bourbon-Marinated Pork Tenderloin

What’s not to like about a juicy, flavorful, tender, grilled pork loin? Very easy to prepare! Just leave enough time to have the loins marinate for at least 12 hours, or overnight.

Pecan Crusted Fish

Another super tasty entree for another crazy busy week. Tender flaky fish fillet encrusted in a pecan breading. Baked not fried, so leaning on the healthier side.  Side of steamed green beans and risotto accompany the dish to completion.

Mushroom Meatloaf w/Mushroom Gravy

Not going to lie… the gravy takes some time due to all of the chopping. It makes more than you’ll need, so it’s worth it for that alone. Freeze the rest or use later in the week over some pork chops, roasted turkey, or mashed...
