Tri-tip marinade by Aspen Lee-Moulden

This is a great dry rub for tri tip. I just made it for a recent party and the tri tip vanished.

Camarones a la plancha - Shrimp on the griddle by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious mexican shrimp dish that you'll find served in the lovely seaside restaurants along both of Mexico's coast. The wonderful smells of the shrimp, garlic, and onion will fill your house and make everyone's mouths water. I cooked these tonight for Cinco de Mayo and both we and our kids absolutely loved them. I left…

Ceviche de Pescado by Rosamaria Faz

Makes a great healthy option for warm summer days. Weather a main dish or appetizer, it pairs great with good beer.

Gumbo by Alicja Lombard

This is my “Polish” variation on Gumbo.

My Dry Rub by Amos Miller

Its that time of year when the barbecue hits the grills & smokers and so I thought I'd post my favorite dry rub recipe. I only use this rub & a variation of it on pork products and It is well- liked. Remember that you want to wash & pat your meats dry before you apply a rub, then add rub to one side, wait about 10 minutes, then…

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…

Sauted Cilantro Halibut by Mihir Shah

This halibut dish really shines if you saute the fish over high heat; crispy outside and juicy in.

Grilled Salmon and Pineapple with Avocado salsa by John Spottiswood

None of our kids thought they were going to like the grilled pineapple in this recipe, but they all ended up loving it and we had none left over! The avocado salsa is mild and complements the salmon nicely without over powering it. The dish is beautiful and would be good for entertaining, but the meal is also easy enough for a week…

Crawfish Etouffee by Genet

Being from New Orleans, my husband and I love Crawfish Etouffee. It's one of those "classics" that everyone down here has learned how to cook by watching mom or grandma. That's me. I was hanging out in my grandmother's kitchen for as long as I can remember. Crawfish Etouffee is a great opportunity for anyone to use frozen…

Roasted Halibut with Rhubarb Beurre Blanc by Robyn Savoie

Rhubarb adds a delicate pink color and tart accent to a classic wine and butter sauce. In this recipe I used White Winter Winery - Acer in place of a dry white wine. Acer is a Latin word for maple tree. This mead combines honey and maple syrup to produce a semi-dry combination of subtle flavors and aromas. It's a true taste of the…

Pulled Pork Tacos by John Spottiswood

A good friend of ours kept raving about these tacos, so we made her give us the recipe. We cooked them tonight and they were absolutely delicious! I've tasted this flavor before, but never been able to duplicate it. The combination of flavors is just amazing. I don't eat too much meat anymore, and when I do I want it to be worth…

Grilled Fish Tacos by Salad Foodie

Tangy avocado salsa and grilled fish in a warm tortilla make for a much healthier fish taco than the usual restaurant variety. This recipe is based on one from Bill Phillips Eating for Life, though I had to sub a few ingredients due to what I had on hand. Too cold to grill outdoors, I used the counter top grill. No swordfish or tuna,…

Oven Brisket with Au Jus by myra byanka

This brisket recipe makes a very flavorful natural gravy that can be used for French Dip Sandwiches, cheesesteaks, and other things. Since beef broth is complicated to make, I save the leftover au jus and freeze it.
