Grilled Cauliflower Steaks with Tahini

Usually when we think of grilling we think of quick and easy. Grilling cauliflower steaks does NOT fall into the category of a quick fix, but roasting cauliflower in a conventional oven takes some time too. Whenever you chose to use this type of recipe, get your cauliflower started a good 15-20 minutes before youContinue reading “Grilled Cauliflower Steaks with Tahini”

Jerk Halibut with Peach Salsa

In honor of me being back at home, back to focusing on cooking and writing, we’ll kick it back off with a little two-fer — everyone’s favorite! On one of my first trips to Jamaica I brought home Grace’s Jerk Seasoning to try to bring a little bit of Scotchie’s back to NYC. This stuffContinue reading “Jerk Halibut with Peach Salsa”

Grilled Zucchini Salad

I know what you’re thinking: SHE DID IT! Sure did. Found a delicious and simple way to serve up all that zucchini from your garden. DISCLAIMER: I think I killed my garden after the first couple harvests so this zucchini is actually from a friend’s garden but the funny thing about gardening is like –Continue reading “Grilled Zucchini Salad”

Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp with Rosemary Apricot Glaze

I know the name is a mouth-full but this gorgeous dish is actually super simple to execute. It’s got everything you want – the sweet, the salty, the crunchy, the supple shrimp and that herbaceous rosemary finish just brings it all home. Also, I’m just *really* having a moment with dried rosemary – my FigContinue reading “Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp with Rosemary Apricot Glaze”

Blue Cheese + Balsamic Portobellos

Grilling portobellos is a wonderful idea, except when it isn’t. You know sometimes these giant mushroom caps just end up flavorless and soggy. Except of course, for my Portobello Pizzas which are obviously excellent – and now you have this new, super easy recipe, which, for a simple mushroom side dish is totally DECADENT andContinue reading “Blue Cheese + Balsamic Portobellos”

Burrata, Sausage + Peppers

If you follow my feed you know that Sausage + Peppers is a major go-to for me. Why? Especially when it’s grilling season, it’s just such an easy way to create a comprehensive dish that feeds many. I always switch it up a little, but this time I think I really found the KEY toContinue reading “Burrata, Sausage + Peppers”

Grilled Shrimp and Halloumi Skewers

I mean you put grilled halloumi cheese in/on anything and you’re off to a great start. These simple shrimp skewers not only benefit from alternating cubes of this blackened, salty cheese, but the homemade lemon parsley marinade, which takes just seconds to whip up in your food processor, bathes each skewer in bright, beautiful flavor.Continue reading “Grilled Shrimp and Halloumi Skewers”

Lemon Pepper Bass Kabobs

Full disclosure: my daughter stole the kebabs from the fish store. When I return I will tell them and add them to my bill. But it’s almost funny because I’ve had kebab sticks saved in my Amazon cart for almost a month that I keep putting aside to instead order gold face masks and kitchenContinue reading “Lemon Pepper Bass Kabobs”

Pistachio Gremolata

What a gorgeous green bowl of goodness! I had a beautiful piece of fresh striped bass from Out of the Blue and wanted to give it a little more love than simply grilling it. The kids were snacking on pistachios so I had another one of my AH HA! moments – gremolata! But to keepContinue reading “Pistachio Gremolata”

Foolproof Ribs

Cooking ribs can be intimidating. It’s a huge hunk of meat. I get it. But this technique, quite similar to the Chicken Thighs 1 Million Ways recipe, is very simple; it just requires TIME. It’s also such an easy way to create an impressive and generous protein when catering for a dinner party or largerContinue reading “Foolproof Ribs”
