Recipes from the Archives on June 3, 2013

I always look for recipes that are easy to make and can feed a lot of different tastes.  That way, if someone stops by or I have a last minute guest, I have something to feed them.  That’s why my favorite recipe from this bunch is the Build-Your-Own Shish Kabobs from Food Network.  Give them the protein and veggies and let them create their own combinations.

I also love Potato Chip Cookies.  Real Simple almost got me with their recipe.

My poor grill has been stashed away far too long.  It is time to pull that baby out and try some of the delicious recipes I found hiding in my e-mail.  I can’t wait to try the Hamburquesas Mexicanas – pepper-jack stuffed burgers topped with guacamole and salsa – but I’m really excited about the Garlic Lover’s Grilled Corn and Garlic Steak with Garlic.  You may not be able to be around me for a couple of weeks afterward, but I’m not really a people person anyway. 

Just kidding!

Yes, I am alive.  My business that brings me money has exploded, so between that and the Chicago Blackhawks… well I’ve been swamped.  One thing I know for sure is that it is grillin’ season!  I’m more than excited to pull out the grill, marinade some beef, chicken, pork and seafood, and do some outdoor cooking.  There are some intriguing recipes in this collection: some cute desserts from Betty Crocker and baby food recipes from Parents Magazine.  However, I was most attracted to the Baltimore-Style Crab Cakes from Food and Wine Magazine.  I used to live near Philadelphia and used to drive down to Baltimore only to eat crab.  When I visit the region, I try to eat my weight in crab (and usually succeed).

I hope you enjoy!

This day my InBox was crammed full of fish taco recipes.  If you've ever had a good one (and frankly I haven’t found any that rival those I ate in Southern California) you’ll want to read this post.

Another note: According to Land o’ Lakes, they donate money to Feeding America each time you pin or re-pin a recipe from their site.  A good cause, no?  And all you have to do is PIN… and you know you want to pin.  Come on, do it!

It’s finally warm in the Chicago area!  I think it’s time to bust out the grill and start some warm weather cooking… especially since last night I heated up the kitchen baking a casserole in my oven.
