Maple Mustard Salmon is one of my favorite grilling recipes. I came up with the recipe recently, after getting a great deal on some lovely wild Sockeye salmon. The marinate/glaze is a very easy 1-1-1 mixture, so it is simple to adjust it for large or small quantities. You are likely to come back to this marinating glaze for grilling other seafood or white meats, as well. Be careful about substitutions in this one. Whole grain Dijon mustard is not as pungent or vinegary as other Continue Reading
Quinoa and White Bean Fritters are a fun gluten free vegetarian appetizer or entree. Kids will gobble them up. I've been experimenting with quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) a good deal of late, and this Quinoa and White Bean Fritter recipe is the most recent result.

This Buffalo Chicken on a stick recipe is breaded with Hellman's mayonnaise, just as I did with my Popcorn Shrimp. Both are fun recipes the family will love. Baked Buffalo Chicken on a Stick is an easy recipe that is very budget conscious. I have been purchasing organic chicken for the most part lately, and this still cost less, than ordering take-out chicken fingers and fries for my daughter and I. Choosing Hellmann's Light or their reduced fat Olive Oil mayonnaise, and teaming it with Continue Reading
This Grilled Asparagus with Balsamic vinegar recipe is one we enjoy year-round, though, of course we eat a lot more of it in the spring when fresh asparagus is in peak season.
