I really enjoy the Korean Barbecue Chicken at one of our local restaurants and occasionally find an excuse to stop in. However a while back I realized that for less than the cost of one meal at the restaurant, I could make enough at home to feed my whole family and the neighbors. Seriously! And it isn't that it is that expensive for the meal - just $5.99 per person, but for … [Read more...]
Grilled Banana Splits
(Turns out, it's SUPER RIDICULOUSLY HARD to photograph ice cream on smoking hot banana slices!) That's right y'all...bananas grilled, then split-ified and topp-ified. Well, technically they are split then grilled...but I thought Split Grilled Bananas wouldn't sit right. So we have Grilled Banana Splits. Here's how it works.

Grilled Italian Chicken Panini
While I love a great salad for lunch most days, I also like to mix things up...and this panini is the perfect way to do that! It calls for things that you probably already have on hand...marinara, chicken, tomato and cheese. Panini sandwiches cook beautifully in a skillet, Panini press, quesadilla maker, and on the grill! Before we get to my favorite new Panini recipe, here … [Read more...]
