These Garlic & Herb Marinated Chicken Spiedies aren’t just your run-of-the-mill chicken skewers– they’re a Central NY specialty that deserves some worldwide recognition. Chunks of chicken breast are marinated for at least 12 hours in a tangy, herb-spiked marinade and then grilled before being served on soft Italian bread with a generous drizzle of garlic…

Ready to serve in a few simple steps, Grilled Camembert with Balsamic Macerated Berries is a foolproof dish that will have you seeing stars (and stripes.) With Memorial Day Weekend here (yay!) and Fourth of July lurking around the corner, my Pinterest feed is looking like Captain America’s catering business. There are endless amounts of…

Tarragon Mustard Chicken Skewers
Tarragon Mustard Chicken Skewers. Dijon mustard, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, tarragon and honey are all you need to make an incredibly flavorful chicken marinade. This recipe for Tarragon Mustard Chicken Skewers has also been featured on Serious Eats. Given that Mike The Housemate (as I’ve now decided he should be named) winces in disgust at…
Charred Cherry Whiskey Lemonade
Charred Cherry Whiskey Lemonade. Grilled or sauteed cherries add great flavor (and a little edge) to these sweet and tart whiskey cocktails. Yesterday, while scheduling out my to-do-lists for recipe-making in the next few weeks (which, by the way, is a very ambitious schedule that’s definitely going to result in lots of How Did I…
Grilled Potato Wedge Fries with Roasted Garlic Aioli
Grilled Potato Wedge Fries with Roasted Garlic Aioli. No burger is complete without a side of fries, so whip these easy grilled, seasoned wedges up for your next barbecue. The aioli, made from grill-roasted garlic, is just as addictive as the fries! The first time I made grilled fries for the blog, just over 5…

This summer salad includes a mix of quickly grilled peaches, halloumi cheese, and ciabatta bread croutons that are tossed with fresh basil, red onions, and a simple white balsamic vinaigrette.

Fiery Italian Chicken Skewers
This post is sponsored by Sutter Home, who made James and I very happy by supplying the wine to go with these Fiery Italian Chicken Skewers as part of the #SweetOnSpice campaign. Whew. My nerves are all jumbled right now because, from out of nowhere, an apocalyptic amount of bouncing hailstones just decimated the top…
Grilled Chicken & Peach Saltimbocca Skewers
This recipe has also been featured on Serious Eats. I made the mistake of telling James that peach season will be ending soon. It started with the simple suggestion that he might like to buy a couple while they’re still juicy and ripe. He’s got a weak spot for peach-habanero salsa and brown butter peach…
Hawaiian Huli Huli Grilled Chicken Wings
This recipe has also been featured on Serious Eats. Consider this my petition against the end of the so-called “grilling season”. Everywhere I looked over the past couple of days, there were articles and advertisements proclaiming that Labor Day Weekend was our last chance to grill up some burgers and dogs, enjoy the sunshine, and host a backyard…
Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Beer Bratwurst
This post is sponsored by Smithfield, who noticed my ongoing brat-obsession and decided to help make these bacony bratwursts possible. I wasn’t sure if I should post this recipe or destroy it immediately, because I’ve gotta be honest, it’s going to ruin run-of-the-mill grilled sausage for you. Once you’ve had Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Beer Bratwurst you can…
30 Minute Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki
Despite the fact that we still have plastic containers filled to the brims with dips and finger foods shoved in the refrigerator, begging to be eaten, I decided last night that it was about time we incorporated a real dinner into our week. Preferably one without cheese– you thought you’d never hear me say that,…
Thai Curry Turkey Burgers with Spicy Mayo and Coconut-Lime Slaw
For all of the things I get nervous about– and trust me, despite my totally cool demeanor, there are a lot of them: flying, accidentally stepping on bugs when I’m barefoot, and parallel parking, for example– I’m not one to hesitate when it comes to experimenting with seasoning and spice. What comes of these fearless forays into flavor-town? Sometimes it’s…
Mexican Brick Chicken with Grilled Corn and Avocados

Tandoori Chicken Naan Pizza
Worried about making pizza dough from scratch? Keep calm and carry naan. These are not your typical pizzas– instead of tomato sauce, pepperoni and mozzarella, we’re using tandoori chicken, mango, red onion, mint, cilantro, and yogurt… oh, and mozzarella, because in the end, you just can’t nix the mozz. Do you know what happens when…
