Grilled Pork Loin with Peach-Whiskey Sauce
| October 10, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Grilling, Main Course, Make-ahead, MEAT, Recipe |
Hello again, Internet friends! It has been a long time…. You see, I went and got hitched last summer, and we decided to “save” (and save up for) our honeymoon for a year and to take that special vacation as a one-year anniversary celebration, and to go all-out somewhere really special. Having just returned from…
Steakhouse Flank Steak
| August 25, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Grilling, Main Course, MEAT, Recipe |
With August sunsetting and summer drawing to a close, this time of year can be bittersweet. The light, the warmth, the long lazy days are numbered and limited now, instead of seeming an endless stretch into the future. But, oh, the light! The yellow, magical late summer sun! The lush greenery and brimming gardens! Late…
Chili-Grilled Salmon with Pico Relish
| August 1, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Grilling, Main Course, Recipe |
Grilled salmon has to be one of life’s best pleasures…but only when it’s done right. I think we’ve all chewed our way through dry, tough, squeaky fish grilled to death and back and plopped on a plate with a heavy thud. Which is a shame, really, because fatty, omega-3-rich salmon is one of the few…
Salsa Verde Turkey Burgers
| July 25, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Grilling, Main Course, MEAT, Recipe, Sandwiches |
Turkey burgers are grody. There’s just no other word to describe them. But when I say that, know that I only mean most turkey burgers. I mean those that people make by simply substituting turkey for beef without making any other changes to their burger recipe. Which just doesn’t make sense. Would you cook a…
Bacon Jalapeno Poppers
| July 7, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Appetizers, Grilling, Junk food, Recipe |
There really isn’t a whole lot to say about jalapeno poppers. Except that they’re goooooooooood. The ubiquitous bar food/frozen food version – stuffed with cream cheese, breaded and deep fried, served with ranch – is good. The cheddar cheese variety, popular in these circa-Wisconsin parts, are good. But, friends, I dare contend that these…
Chipotle-Lime Grilled Chicken Breasts
| July 2, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Grilling, Main Course, MEAT, Recipe |
An easy summer recipe I pulled from Epicurious.com, a nice resource for people who like to browse big collections of recipes when seeking brief moments of escape during long stretches of time spent in front of computers….. Especially those of us who often face the connundrum, “WTF am I going to do with chicken again tonight…”
Italian Steak Kabobs with Grilled Veggies
| June 27, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Grilling, Main Course, Make-ahead, MEAT, Recipe |
One thing (you would be generous to call it a “trick”) is that, when making skewers, shish-ka-bobs, or whatever you might want to call this particular iteration of “food on a stick,” is to thread food on the sticks the ugly way. As in, not the oh-so-pretty, alternating meat, veggie, peppers, onion, repeat way that…
Chipotle-Marinated Flank Steak with Avocado-Corn Relish
| June 3, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Grilling, Main Course, MEAT |
With a photo like that, do you need any text? Well, I couldn’t let you all off the hook that easy, now, could I? What with it being a Friday and all, and shaping up to be a sunny, hot weekend in this fair city, an easy recipe like this grilled flank steak is just…
Spinach & Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts
| May 27, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Grilling, Main Course, MEAT |
Oh, my lovelies, you want to seriously impress someone? Make this. Oh, and you don’t want something that will take ages, 300 pans, and lots of frustration? Make this. I impressed myself with this one, people. Yeah, I know, I’m so awesome and blah blah blah. The truth is, a lot of times the things…
Peach-Glazed Pork Chops with Feta Salad
| May 19, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Grilling, Main Course, MEAT, Salads |
Like the dinner itself, this post is quick. What with an impending summer thunderstorm heading in and a vintage motorcycle to sell before the Bulls playoff game on Tuesday (seriously), I didn’t have time to waste. So, the pork chops that were going to either be brined with herbs and brown sugar, or teriyaki-marinated and…
