Polish Kielabsa is already a family favorite and a guaranteed crowd pleaser, but it’s the magic that happens when the tomato, brown sugar, garlic sriracha sauce caramelizes on the grilled onions and peppers that makes it just so insanely good!

Teriyaki Marinade is of Japanese origin, but in my house, Teriyaki always brings to mind The Great One.  The Great One is my Grandpa, but my kiddos gave him this rather grand title and it has stuck.

Smoked Chuck Roast Chili

Smoked Chuck Roast Chili is my ‘Lotsa Meatsa’, super heavy on meat, very thick, light on beans version of chili. It has a deep, complex flavor from Guinness Stout, bacon, traditional chili spices, cocoa powder, and smoke. You don’t need a smoker to make it, but it is made on a barbecue grill.

Life is like a box of chocolates….

Or a variation of chili…

In other words, variety is the spice of life, in my humble opinion.

Oven Roasted Asparagus

Excellence in simplicity!  Oven Roasted Asparagus shows off these tender, crisp spears to perfection!

Easy Oven Roasted Asparagus

While Asparagus is available year round, Spring is when it is best!  The flavor is bright and clean with earthy undertones and is very mild when the spears are fresh.

One of my favorite ways to prepare vegetables is to roast them.  The flavor and texture of vegetables roasted in the oven or on the grill may surprise even a picky eater.  The combinations are endless like Fresh Roasted Green Beans with Bacon and Shallots, Roasted Brussels Spouts, and even Pumpkin with Crispy Sage and Brown Butter.  Best part, the preparation is so incredibly simple!  And have you tried more non-traditional roasted vegetable choices like Roasted Butternut Squash or Roasted Sweet Mashed Potatoes?  I’m telling you, Roasting can elevate and improve on a vegetable’s taste and texture in the most unexpected and delightful ways!  Don’t be surprised if you discover a new favorite!
