Between standing in line to cast our votes and walking the pup at the park near our home, we spent hours outdoors in the blistering cold wind yesterday. So, soup was an easy decision for dinner. I can’t resist adding a bit of heat to most my dishes (40 degree wind chill not needed) and…

Grilled Smoked Paprika Chicken, Balsamic Fig Zucchini, Corn-on-the-Cob
Our area has experienced a tremendous amount of humidity and thunderstorms this summer and this past week offered little relief. I’ve been trying to fire up my grill for the past several days, but due to the weather I had to keep postponing. Yesterday evening, as I finally set up my grill, I could hear…

Fresh Tomato & Grilled Corn Gazpacho

Spicy Grilled Corn and Barley Chowder
It’s finally looking like summer outside and that means grilling! I always grill more corn on the cob than I need because the leftovers are delicious and corn is an amazingly versatile ingredient. Last week I managed to grill outdoors twice before the rain and cool weather hit us again and is why this spicy…
