Holy grill marks. I love me a good chop, or steak, or piece of chicken with a solid grill mark. It means the heat was high and perfect for searing in all the delicious juices and cooking to perfection. These pork chops require a good soaking (translation: marinating!) and then a few minutes on each side over the direct heat on the grill to get that sear in, and then moved … [Read more...]
Jambalaya Kebabs
All the flavors of Jambalaya on a stick...yyyy'aaaaalllll! *said in my best southern LA drawl* We've got shrimp. We've got chicken. We've got onions and peppers. We've got tomatoes.

Chicken and Potato “Stirfry” on the Grill
Had to sneak a grilling recipe in here! If you don't have a grilling basket, I highly recommend that you get one before grilling season 'officially' resumes in a month or two. I use my grilling basket mostly for grilling veggies, but I also use it for 'grill-fry' meals like this one! Can you really do an entire meal on the grill?! Why yes. Yes you can. This is the … [Read more...]
