Tri-tip served Gyros style by John Spottiswood

For the 4th of July this year I wanted to serve Greek style sandwiches with flat bread, tzatziki sauce, tomatoes and red onions. Given the large number of guests, kabobs would have taken forever. So I decided to marinate Tri-tip and slow cook it, then slice it Gyros style. This turned out to be really easy and was a huge hit. I…

In Le Marche, this dish is made with a strong-flavored cheese called Ambra di Talamello, which is made in the summer and cave-aged in hay and clay until November. Imported Fontina cheese makes a fine substitute. INGREDIEN

Waikiki Meatballs by Angel Ahsam

When I was 10 or 11, my mom let me join the Betty Crocker Recipe club - I was a budding cook then. This was one of our favorites and when I dug out the recipe recently to make with my daughter's help, we had a lot to talk about. It's a yummy not too sweet, not too sour, dish. With salad and steamed rice, it's a pleaser for kids and…

Tacos Al Carbon by John Spottiswood

This is a simple steak taco recipe that emphasizes the flavor of the meat and the grill.

Sliced Seared Steak (Tagliata di Manzo) by daniellec1

Buy a little good quality steak and prepare it very quickly in a cast iron skillet with rosemary sprigs and garlic cloves. Amazing - you can make it for guests - and requires almost no preparation. Lightly smash the garlic cloves and the peels will come off easily. Add a salad or vegetable or potato dish on the side.

This is a spicy, hearty salad tastes great in hot or cold weather. It can be an appetizer, Tapas, or served alone as a light meal. We had it paired with Curried Mussels last night. It has only 195 calories per serving. Feel free to substitute Calamari, Octopus, Shrimp, Chicken or Tofu if you don't eat red meat.
