Southern Low Country Boil by Robyn Medlin

Here’s a little history on the “Low Country”. Low Country, and this is my own definition, is the lower coastal region of South Carolina and the Georgia Coast. Think of Charleston and Savannah ya’ll and all the great seafood you can get there with all the cultural influence of those areas thrown in! Now that’s low country cookin! So…

Seared Peppercorn Tuna Steaks by Robyn Medlin

Instead of your traditional NY strip or ribeye, why not opt for Tuna Steaks on the grill? If you go for sushi-style rare in the middle, they are super quick and easy on the grill. For those who like their meat well done, leave on the grill a little longer and still get great flavor.

Grilled Coconut Shrimp Skewers by Robyn Medlin

Nothing says the tropics like coconut and pineapple and that is what is in this scrumptious recipe. Utilizing fresh pineapple, coconut milk and coconut rum, this recipe will easily transport you to a Caribbean Island, no matter where you live. This recipe is healthy and light and would also make a great appetizer served by itself. I…

Spatchcocked Chicken with Jerk Seasoning Paste by Robyn Medlin

Spatchcocked is really just a funny way of saying grilled butterflied chicken. Much like you need to butterfly a cornish game hen (which is a small chicken) so it will lay flat on the grill, you need to do the same with a whole chicken. Removing the backbone allows the bird to lay flat so the bird can cook more evenly on the grill.…

Porterhouse Steaks Grilled Directly On Hot Coals, aka “Cave Man Style” by Robyn Medlin

I’ve never grilled a porterhouse steak before so when I ordered them from Grand Western Steaks, I was pretty excited to give it a try. A porterhouse steak is like a step up from a t-bone steak being a steak cut from the large end of the short loin…

Smoked Chicken Wings with Draper’s BBQ Sauce by Robyn Medlin

Smoking can be quite addictive. So much so that I decided to add a touch of smokiness to my chicken wings last weekend. It only takes about 45 minutes of time on the grill to achieve serious smokiness, and you’ll be smacking your lips in satisfaction. I’ve been hearing about Draper’s BBQ Rub and Sauce for a while through some of my…

Fire Roasted Poblano Corn Salsa by Robyn Medlin

We’re getting closer to summertime and you know what that means- Corn will be in abundance everywhere! What to do with all that corn? Well, grill it of course, and then make a salsa with it! I like making grilled salsas because they are a great use of anything that’s in season and readily available at the grocery store. They’re also…

Grilled corn with coconut lime butter and pepper jack cheese by Robyn Medlin

I usually grill corn with the stalks on to help steam the corn but I’ve been having this Mexican style grilled corn at the Taco Shack down the street and they grill the kernels directly over the flame. I was inspired to try the corn this way and it…

Salt Crusted Fish by Robyn Medlin

When I saw the article in the May edition of Fine Cooking on Salt Encrusted Fish, I knew I had to try it. After all, I live in South Florida and I’m always trying to figure out new things to do with seafood. This technique is surprisingly easy! Essentially, you take a whole fish and encase it in a salt layer that steams the fish as…

Pulled Pork Sliders with Mango BBQ Sauce by Robyn Medlin

I admit, I’m an egghead. Earlier this year I finally made room on the patio for one more grill- the grill of all grills- the Big Green Egg. My first “smoke” on her was a pork butt, also know as a Boston Butt. I’m a Carolina girl transplanted down to Florida, so of course my first smoke would be a pork butt. If there was a state meat,…

Grilled Banana Parfait with Rum Sauce by Robyn Medlin

You all know I love to make desserts on the grill! Bananas + ice cream + rum sauce = an insanely good dessert that you won’t event feel guilty about later! You will be proud you licked the bowl clean and will consider a second helping!
