I Could Probably Wolf Down 20 in One Sitting, If I Didn’t Watch Myself!

What an easy recipe for your grill – and aside from the time to marinate, it won’t take you all that long to make, either. This Filipino Barbecue Pork on a Stick combines a touch of the exotic with all of the great familiar flavors of American BBQ. This is sure to be a hit at your next cookout or tailgate party, or maybe you’d just like to wow your friends and family with something amazingly delicious! I can never resist grabbing a couple of tasty skewers of barbecue chicken or pork when I see it at the Chinese buffet.

I was itching for an excuse to break out the grill another time or two, and I have to say I was rather well rewarded. Definitely worth staying outside for a moment, even if the weather is getting colder. Yum!

Plus, if you’re going to make this outside all you have to do is put your hat and gloves on if the weather is starting to get nippy. Trust me, it’ll be well worth the effort.

Quick tip: This is the perfect recipe for family gatherings!

This Stuffed Grilled Chicken is chock full of delicious cheese, peppers, and a savory seasoning blend that is sure to wow your guests!  It’s simple and quick enough for enjoying a quiet grilled meal with the family but delightfully gourmet enough to be a big hit at even the biggest grill-out or Labor Day celebration.

Though I’ll probably be able to carry on for a few weeks afterward, the official end of grilling season is fast approaching, and though there is plenty that I love about fall (you should see how I decorate for Halloween!), that does make me a little sad.  Truth be told, this time of year weighs on me a bit for a lot of reasons.  My escape: good food, especially exciting good food.  This recipe fit the bill nicely, with just the right amount of Southwestern flair, and it was all ready in a little over half an hour.  Not bad at all.

Quick tip: Try substituting your favorite cheeses for different flavors!

London broil is a sadly all too often neglected cut of meat, but with the right marinade (and a little patience for it to do its work), you can have a tender, savory main course that goes well with a variety of sides and juicy extras.  This Marinated London Broil makes for a great, hearty meal with the family; expand it, and you have a gourmet main dish for a larger party.

Mother often cooked London broil for supper when she wanted to serve a hearty, beef-based meal that made plenty of leftovers.  Serving everyone a few slices of London broil meant no having to fuss over individual steaks for everyone and plenty more room on the plate for all the sides and extras that she wanted to make with it.  Leftover slices of London broil also make for good sandwiches the next day, particularly if you cook some onions and mushrooms to go with it.

It’s so nice to find a colorful and delicious spin on your usual pork chop dinner. These Jalapeno Smothered Pork Chops are sure to wow you and your family (or other cookout guests).  The recipe as written is for the grill, but it is readily adaptable to the oven, if you prefer. No need to get outside in the chilly fall weather just to make this delicious dish!

I love a good pork chop… grilled, fried, baked, whatever.  Sometimes, the same-old, same-old gets a bit boring, though.  Well, this recipe certainly isn’t boring.  It also looks beautiful when you’re serving it – and come on, bacon AND cheese?  How could I have passed this up?  This was bound to become our new family favorite, and I’m sure your family will feel the same way!

In a food rut?  Feel like breaking out the grill but don’t want anything too complicated or too same-old, same-old?  Then try this Honey Sriracha Orange Chicken!  Wow everyone with the name, blow them away with the flavor!  It is simple enough for a weeknight family meal but sure to thrill your guests at your next grill-out!

Repeat after me:  “Asian food does NOT have to be hard.”  Sure, as with any food tradition, there are plenty of recipes out there that require a great deal of time, skill, or both, and an expert cook in search of a true gourmet challenge may want to attempt them once in a while.  But you don’t HAVE to be a brilliant master chef or endure an intense labor of love to put together a delicious Asian-style dish.

I found this recipe to be incredibly easy to follow, and the results were delicious.  That juicy blend of sweet and spicy really hit the spot, and it was great for getting me out of that food rut that I had fallen into recently–yes, it even happens to me, sometimes.  (It was also a great excuse to break out the grill on a pleasant summer evening during the workweek.)
