One summer evening, I had a rainbow of bell peppers sitting on the counter and no idea what to make. I sliced them up, brushed them with olive oil, and threw them on the grill next to our chicken — and that was it. Simple, bright, and bursting with flavor. Since then, grilled peppers have been a reg...

I used to think asparagus was just a “spring vegetable” I’d only eat once in a while, but once I learned how good it is grilled with a little Parmesan, it became a regular side at our house. I love how fast it comes together — no fuss, just olive oil, salt, and a sprinkle of cheese. It’s fresh, fanc...

I used to skip eggplant at the store because I didn’t know what to do with it — it always seemed fussy or bland. But once I tried grilling it and topping it with balsamic glaze? Game-changer. The eggplant turns tender with a hint of smokiness, and the glaze gives it this glossy, slightly sweet finis...

During one of those busy summer weeks when we lived off the grill, I found myself staring at a pile of zucchini and yellow squash from the farmer’s market. I sliced them up, threw together a quick marinade, and grilled them alongside our chicken — and wow. They were tender, flavorful, and tasted lik...

Back when I first started cutting back on heavy meats, I was desperate for something that still felt satisfying on the grill. That’s when I stumbled on portobello mushrooms. I’ll never forget the first time I marinated and grilled them—they were juicy, rich, and totally crave-worthy. Even my meat-lo...

I still remember the first time I made this grilled corn — it was one of those chaotic summer evenings when I needed something fast and fuss-free. I had a fridge full of fresh corn and a craving for something with a little kick. That’s when I whipped up this simple chili butter. My husband took one ...

We had trout all the time when I was growing up near the Smoky Mountains. My granddad used to catch them fresh from the river, and my job was to help rinse and season them. These days, I’m not exactly fishing at dawn — but I do love picking up fresh trout from the market and grilling it on cedar pla...

I used to be intimidated by salmon — it felt like something you only ordered at restaurants. But once I learned how easy it was to grill, it became a weekly go-to. This version with a tangy dill sauce tastes fancy enough for guests, but it’s simple enough for a weeknight dinner. My husband calls it ...

This was our “treat” growing up when we didn’t have time to bake. My mom would slice fresh strawberries, whip up some cream, and just like that — dessert was served. It felt so special even though it was so simple. Now, I serve it to my own kids when we need something sweet but not heavy, and they l...

A simple one-pan meal made with lean ground turkey, fresh zucchini, and bold flavor — ready in under 30 minutes.

This ground turkey zucchini skillet is one of those recipes I always keep in my back pocket.

It came from one of those “what can I make with what’s in the fridge” kind of nights — and i...

Tender, juicy pork paired with fresh peach salsa — summer dinner at its best.

There was a season in my life where I avoided cooking pork altogether. It felt intimidating. I thought it would be dry or boring, and honestly, I just didn’t know what to do with it.

But then came this recipe — and every...

Juicy steak bites seared in garlic butter, paired with crisp green beans — all in one skillet.

This is the kind of dinner I wish I had known about years ago.

Because let’s be real — there were so many nights I stared into the fridge, feeling exhausted and already behind. I wanted to cook something...
