This was a pretty tasty version of paella - a traditional Spanish dish. I've written it as I made it below, but next time I'm going to use skinless boneless chicken thighs cut up, and I'm going to nestle the meats deeper into the rice to better get the ...

We got a new grill last week. The old one was getting rusty and the gas regulator didn't seem to work too well anymore. Emma was afraid of the big box at first, but after a few treats and toys on top of the box, she got over ...

I found this recipe in "Picnics, Potlucks, and Barbecues" Taste of Home special magazine. Here is a link to the original recipe for Sesame Pork Kabobs. I used less onion, increased the garlic a bit, and used fresh ginger. This was decently good, but I think it ...

Tonight I grilled up some chile rubbed pork tenderloin and served the meat with tortillas, salsa, and refried beans. I added a tsp of onion powder to the rub and used more like 5 cloves of garlic. It took about 25 minutes on the grill, low heat, turning ...

The recipe for Sweet, Sticky, Spicy Chicken from Allrecipes has been making the rounds on a message board that I frequent, and it's become a staple of quite a few of my friends. I made a few changes, of course. First, I used skinless boneless chicken thighs instead ...

This was an easy dinner that hardly qualifies as a recipe. I bought some center-cut bone-in pork chops on sale, sprinkled them liberally with Montreal Steak Seasoning, and put them on the grill over medium low heat for about 20 minutes total, turning halfway through. I also put ...

Gyoza are Japanese dumplings, usually stuffed with some combination of meat and vegetables. This recipe is adapted from the excellent World of Dumplings by Brian Yarvin. They were very tasty. Next time I think we'll steam them, though, to save a few calories. Not that it ...

Another dairy-filled dinner that Shaun wouldn't appreciate tonight. I'll have leftovers for lunches for the rest of the week too :-)
This is some great comfort food - warm and filling. Sometimes I'll layer thin slices of bell pepper in with the potatoes and pretend ...

Tonight's dinner was a nice little locally produced honey ham (from Hempler's Meats) baked in the oven and served with some roasted asparagus. I love the big bone-in hams, especially made with a variation of Nigella Lawson's recipe for Ham in Cola, but with just the two of us, ...
