Another night grilling dinner. This is a very tasty and simple non-recipe. Sprinkle skinless boneless chicken thighs lightly with lemon pepper seasoning and grill over medium heat for about 12 minutes total, or until cooked through. I served this with some grilled asparagus that I cooked for ...

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 ...

Shaun and I were in the mood for a sweet tonight, and I had a bag of coconut lying about, so I dug through my cookbooks to find a macaroon recipe that I could make without going to the store. Joy of Cooking came through with a recipe I ...

This recipe came from the flank steak package. It wasn't too bad, but I don't think we'll probably be repeating this recipe. I'm posting it just in case one of my three readers might enjoy it more than we did :-) I used ...
