No grill? Still summer 🔥

Published about 5 hours ago • 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

There have been long stretches of my adult life where I've been without a grill, and I've learned to get creative when summer grilling season comes along because I never want to miss out on that smoky, sizzling flavor. These recipes feel right at home on the patio table ~ no outdoor grill required.

​Grilled Chicken with Peach Salsa​

​A cast iron grill pan is the secret to this chicken. Perfect grill marks, no wrestling with a bag of charcoal.

​Steak Fajita Skewers with Chimichurri​

The broiler is your friend with these quick cooking skewers ~ you'll get that wonderful fire-kissed caramelization without the hassle of setting up a grill.

​Apple Butter Pulled Pork​

The Instant Pot, slow cooker, or oven braises pork to perfection.

​Sheet Pan Smashburgers​

The sheet pan is a wizard in the kitchen, it can handle everything from pancakes and croissants to brats!

​Greek Shrimp Packets​

Sure you can throw parchment and foil packets on the grill, but you can just as easily pop them in a hot oven. No one will be the wiser!

​Vanilla Bean Cheesecake​

This is my new go-to cheesecake recipe! I have never had luck with cheesecake. This one turned out so beautifully and received rave reviews!

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun.

~ see you at the table!

potluck salads

Hey friends❣️ I'm going to be honest: potluck salads can be a gamble. I don't always love playing “guess the ingredients” with a bowl that's been making the rounds all afternoon. But give me a table full of Great Island salads ~ fresh, colorful, never boring ~ and suddenly I’m all in. Add a few good friends and call it dinner. What can I say ~ I trust my own recipes :) Summer Potluck Salads get the recipes What you're loving lately 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Strawberry Lemon Blondies The lemon juice makes the...

Ham and Jam Sandwich

Hey friends❣️ It’s funny because my husband and I have both been leaning slightly low carb lately, so sandwiches haven’t really been on our radar. But that all changed last week when ham and jam came into our lives. Smoky ham, creamy-tart goat cheese, and sweet-savory jam turns out to be an incredibly winning combo. And the bread I happened to pick up at Whole Foods? It blew us away. Now I literally can’t stop dreaming up sandwich dinners... Ham and Jam Sandwich get the recipe My husband and...
