Lemon Basil Grilled Chicken

Lemon Basil Grilled Chicken by John Spottiswood

This is a simple and tasty summer grilled chicken recipe. We usually cook this with legs or thighs, but it goes well with chicken breast too. Consider doubling the recipe as it is even better the next day. We used left overs of this chicken to make the chicken noodle soup I posted recently.

Flavorful Grilled Shrimp

Flavorful Grilled Shrimp by John Spottiswood

This is a classic grilled shrimp recipe originally from Craig Clairborne's NYT cookbook, then adapted by Ina Garten, and then finally perfected by me. :-) Seriously, this is a wonderful staple to have in your pantry of recipes. You can serve this over pasta (which we did the other night), as an appetizer with a variety of dipping…

Grilled Garlic Lime Pork Chops

Grilled Garlic Lime Pork Chops by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a super simple recipe and the combination of flavors is fantastic. We served it with a flavorful quinoa dish. We were tempted to put the sauces on the pork as we were grilling it, but we stuck with the recipe. It turned out wonderfully, and it enabled two of our less venturesome kids to enjoy the salt & pepper pork without…

Grilled Shrimp by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a very tasty grilled shrimp recipe. The ingredients don't sound like they would go together that well, but the result is fantastic. Try this summer on the grill. My kids loved it..with 9 year old Kyle finishing off 2 whole skewers!

Bourbon-BBQ Steaks

Bourbon-BBQ Steaks by John Spottiswood

These steaks are so flavorful they will make you smile. This is a delicious marinade that complements and doesn't overwhelm the flavorful Ribeye, Tbone, or NY steaks that you choose. And the rub/marinade combination makes this a steak you won't forget!

Teriyaki Glazed Grilled Salmon

Teriyaki Glazed Grilled Salmon by John Spottiswood

This is an excellent basic grilled salmon dish that i adapted from the Cook's Illustrated cookbook. Their recipe calls for maple syrup...which I don't keep on hand and just didn't sound right to me. I substituted a mix of oyster sauce and honey, which I think gives it a more traditional asian flavor than the maple syrup would.…

Tuscan Steak

Tuscan Steak by John Spottiswood

This is one of the simplest and best steak preparations you will EVER make. I've been trying for years to find the perfect grilling recipe to bring out the natural flavors of a great steak without over powering them. This recipe rivals the best steakhouses out there. You must buy prime steaks (I got mine from Costco). I adopted…

Simple Himalayan Salt Block Salmon

Simple Himalayan Salt Block Salmon by John Spottiswood

My wife got me a Himalayan Salt Block to try grilling on this summer. We made our first attempt last night with salmon, trying it two ways. This is the first...a very simple effort and very delicious. My instinct with the salt block is that I am going to enjoy simple recipes the best, since they will allow the flavor of the salt…

Grilled Catfish with Red Rice and Lemon Butter

Grilled Catfish with Red Rice and Lemon Butter by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a truly delicious meal. Our kids loved it as much as we did. We made a version of the fish with Lemon pepper because we thought the Creole seasonings would be too hot, but they ended up loving the Creole fish. If you're trying to conserve calories, you can leave off the Lemon Butter and just serve with fresh lemon wedges.…

Grilled Lamb Kebabs

Grilled Lamb Kebabs by John Spottiswood

These light Moroccan seasonings produce extremely flavorful lamb. They enhance the natural flavor of the lamb without overwhelming it. Whether you like your lamb medium rare or well done, you'll still love this marinade. You can marinate as little as 30-60 minutes for a light flavoring (if so, I would recommend marinating at room…

Greek Yogurt Pancakes

Greek Yogurt Pancakes by Michele Grason

I am not messing around here - these are really good pancakes! They are light and fluffy and moist and they might even be kind of good for you because they are made with non-fat Greek yogurt. At least that's what I am going to continue to tell myself as I make them every Saturday morning.

Roasted Chicken on the Grill

Roasted Chicken on the Grill by Mihir Shah

This is a beautiful dish that's big enough for a dinner party of 4 and makes for a great centerpiece over the holidays. The stuffing is optional, but I think it adds something to the presentation. It's really easy to make as well.

Southwestern Green Chile Chicken

Southwestern Green Chile Chicken by John Spottiswood

In mexico, they keep their chicken moist by grilling it underneath stones. In this recipe I've substituted foil covered bricks for stones. I got the idea from Steven Raichlen in his BBQ USA book. This is a technique used in New Mexico. I thought it added a little moisture. If you have time, it's worth it. And now that I have the…
