How to Grill Chicken Under a Brick
Grilling is one of summer’s true pleasures. In my house that usually means I have the night off from cooking. It also means there are less dishes. While that may not seem super important, to someone that can’t stand doing dishes (you’re looking at her) it’s a big thing. When someone is grilling in the neighborhood you know it. The smells waft up and down the streets and make those that aren’t grilling wish they were (well unless they’re burning something and well that’s another story all together.)
read moreHow to Roast a Leg of Lamb
I admit, I do love a nice roasted leg of lamb. Once that’s perfectly pink, juicy, tender and melts in your mouth like buttah. Swoon. I received a sample of lamb from Superior Farms. One of which included this gorgeous leg of lamb. Roasting it was a given. It was to become Father’s Day Dinner. I have a secret for you. Come closer…roasting a leg of lamb is one of the easiest dinner’s you could possibly make. I wouldn’t kid you. Not about food at least ; )
read moreHow To Make Layered Panna Cotta
Susan and I are co-hosting a virtual dessert pot luck with a few of our uber talented friends. We’ll each be showcasing one fabulously flexible FlexiPan. I made layered Strawberry and Vanilla Panna Cotta in my Round Tray Flexipan! Who wants a bite? People that have never made panna cotta always assume that it’s fussy and difficult to make. Of course they’d think this because restaurants charge out the wazoo for this dessert when in fact the big secret is that it couldn’t be simpler. It’s almost scandalous isn’t it? With a little cream, sugar and gelatin you’re on your way to making one of the easiest and creamiest desserts on the planet.
read moreRosemary Skewered Grilled Mushrooms
Who needs skewers when you have rosemary? That aromatic herb can be used for so many things. Which is a good thing considering I have a bush of rosemary as large as my car. I’m ALWAYS looking for uses for that hearty herb and one of my favorites is to use it as a skewer. You don’t ever have to remember to soak it for 30 minutes prior to using (pesky wooden skewers) and it lightly flavors the food you’re skewering. AND there’s no washing a metal skewer afterwards (you know how much I hate doing dishes)!
read moreEasy Zucchini Roll Ups
If you’re growing vegetables and have planted zucchini in your veg garden you’ll probably have them coming out of your ears. They tend to produce A LOT. Which means you’ll need as many recipes as you can get your hands on to enjoy them. I know that’s the case for us. Squash and Zucchini are grown not only for the fruit but for their BLOSSOMS around our house. If you’ve never had STUFFED SQUASH/ZUCCHINI BLOSSOMS I IMPLORE you to try them. Just trust me on this one.
read moreA Very Berry Bellini
I have noticed that “bellini” is quite popular amongst bell’alimento searchers. You all have good taste! They’re light, refreshing, fruity and perfect for summer sipping. Last summer we shared a FROZEN PEACH BELLINI . Today we’re bumping up the berry factor and making very berry bellinis. Made with a trio of berry goodness: strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. It’s fruity, slushy and I’m willing to bet you won’t be able to stop at just one. Or maybe that’s just me?
