Recipe

Just about everyone who has ever gone camping or cooked marshmallows over an open fire has fond memories of making smores. I got this idea from watching a Food Network show, but the recipe, in a Sandra-Lee-kind-of-way, is all mine...

I served this at a large function a few weeks ago and it was a big hit. Don't worry about the measurements as marinades are more about ratios and less about measurements. What you end up with should be very strong in flavor as the flavors will get more muted during marination and cooking.

Meat on a stick, yeah...

I got this great salad recipe today from Debbie Ward

This pork has an amazing, incredible flavor. It is one of those rare recipes where the sum is truly greater than the parts. Simple, but amazing. This process could be used with a larger pork loin (I would put it on the rotissere instead of cooking on the grill grates), but the tenderness of the tenderloin really works well with this brine.

This is great farmer's market fare and using fresh green beans gives it a great, fresh, flavor.

I came up with this drink on July 4th, 2007. My wife and kids had been picking fresh berries on the 3rd and I was looking for something fresh and colorful to drink on the 4th. What better than a tribute to the old red, white, and blue?!

Meatloaf. You love it or you hate it. I promise you'll love this one. At least, if you don't love it, I'll give you back what you paid for the recipe.

One of my favorite summer salads--so summerlicious I named it, well, Summer. You can get most of the ingredients at a Farmer's Market...

This is a great dip for the holidays or other social gatherings and is super-easy to pull together at the last minute. The Tiger Sauce adds some heat and sweet and the Liquid Smoke gives it a nice background flavor.

For a long time, this was considered my "signature" dish. People we never had over before would ask us to make it because they had heard about it from mutual friends.

Always grill this on high heat, for best flavor. You can broil it, but it just isn't the same.
