Mitch's Homemade Dill Pickles by Micheline

This has been one hell of a week, one of those 7 day stretches that includes everything on lifes' smorgey...except dental. Of course the week's not over yet.

Cream Cheese, Spinach & Artichoke Stuffed Tomatoes by Bob Vincent

This vegetable dish is a nice accompaniment with barbequed chicken. The stuffing is enough for about six tomatoes depending on size. It can be served hot or cold. I elected to serve it hot.

Charred Eggplpant And Peas, A Perfect Barbecue Side Dish. by kathy gori

Back where I come from when stuff gets charred and there's not a barbecue involved, it's not a good thing. Charring usually involved opening a lot of windows, smoke alarms, yelling and calling the local take out.."Don't Cook Tonight, Call Chicken Delight!" The idea of deliberately charring something may seem scary, but believe me…

Bye Bye Blues, A Quick And Spicy Bean Dish by kathy gori

I have a small confession to make. I love trick vegetables. You know what I'm talking about, the orange cauliflower, the red squash, the black garlic.

Grilled Baby Artichokes with Chefs Dressing by Robyn Medlin

The grill adds so much flavor to the chokes that you don’t really need a sauce, but I am a sucker for a dipping sauce so I made this yummy sauce to go with it inspired by the Chef’s Dressing at Houston’s Restaurant. If you don’t feel like making the dipping sauce, the chokes are perfectly wonderful with a drizzle of olive oil, sea…

Large gatherings of people who like corn on the cob requires a couple of lobster pots or a wash tub and a lot of boiling water and patience. Not anymore. Thanks to tailgating technology there is a simple way to make dozens of ears of corn for the hungry revelers.
