Simple Grilled Halibut

I have shelves and shelves of rubs, spices, seasonings and sauces.  There is even a spare refrigerator in the garage where the overflow of previously enjoyed jars/bottles of sauces are kept.  I love all the unique flavors you can come up with, but when it comes to expensive cuts of meat and seafood I

MOINK Ball Stuffed Polenta Balls And Pasta

Grilled Pork Chops With Stewed Yellow Eyes And Tomatoes

Beans!

This recipe/blog post is really all about the beans.  It might sound a little strange but I’ve fallen in love with heirloom beans.  I may never be able to eat ordinary, run of the mill dried beans again.  Certainly Yellow Eye beans from “Rancho Gordo” will replace “white” beans when possible at my house.

Salmon Burgers With Old Bay Aioli

I’m not really sure what the most popular fish for grilling is, but if salmon isn’t at the top of the list it must be near the top.  I came across an interesting article in a recent issue of “Summer Entertaining” from Cook’s Illustrated for an interesting take on Salmon and Tuna Burgers.  Just
