Ripen up your life!
I’m a big lover of cooking outside on a grill. Gas or charcoal, I like to mix it up. Grilling outside is a great substitute for cooking inside on or in an oven, plus you just can’t beat the experience and the added flavor. I made this spicy hot meat loaf using a grill and … Continue reading “Spicy Hot Meat Loaf using a Grill”
We both really enjoyed these copycat Old Spaghetti Factory meatballs. To begin with, they were super-easy to make. Second, the recipe makes a good-sized batch of meatballs, perfect for keeping on-hand during the colder months. We actually doubled the recipe so we’d have plenty around for quick dinners or even lunches. Last, they of course … Continue reading “Copycat Old Spaghetti Factory Meatballs”

We were looking for the perfect side for our Stove Top stuffing meatloaf. We thought perhaps it would be mashed potatoes. Creamy homemade mashed potatoes would definitely be good with the wonderful brown gravy from the meatloaf. But we both wanted something a little crunchy, something roasted… something with more flavor than ‘just’ mashed potatoes. … Continue reading “Crispy Parmesan Potatoes”

These twice-baked potatoes made on the Char-Broil Big Easy were absolutely fantastic. I was already a big mashed potato fan before these came along. Now, I can’t get enough of them. The potatoes by themselves are divine. Creamy, smooth, tasty. Add a little rosemary for that special difference from ‘plain old’ potatoes. Top with cheese … Continue reading “Twice Baked Potatoes on the Char-Broil Big Easy”
I’ve been addicted to my mom’s lasagna ever since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. My wife and I make my mom’s recipe often, though I admit we have changed it a bit over the years. And we sometimes even change up how we cook it. Usually, it’s baked in the oven. This time, we … Continue reading “Mini Lasagna using a Gas Grill”

Usually we bake it in the oven, but this time we decided to make mini lasagna on the Char-Broil Big … Continue reading “Mini Lasagna on the Char-Broil Big Easy”
My wife loves filet mignon. On occasion I will grab an entire beef tenderloin and cut it into filets. But, let’s face it, filets aren’t the cheapest cut of meat. Not even close. That’s when it’s time to make these mock bacon filets. Mushroom-stuffed patties wrapped in bacon, topped with more mushrooms and a wonderful … Continue reading “Mock Bacon Filets”
