Basil Balsamic Pork Chops
Please Pin!! Thanks! Basil Balsamic Pork Chops take less than five minutes to prepare and cook in about the same amount of time on each side. The marinating process takes 2-12 hours depending on your schedule and when you prepare it. But – the process requires absolutely no attention from the cook. Unless you want to flip the bag over once or twice. An absolutely wonderful dish with only 15 – 20 minutes of hands on time! Note that there are two ways to choose from for preparation. Use a grill or use a broiler, whichever you prefer. Me – I go for the countertop grill pretty much year round. Wonderful served with rice or potato prepared just about any way, a nice crunchy salad or a cooked colorful veggie. A good marinade enhances the flavor, moisture and tenderness of the ... [Read More]
Balsamic Grilled Chicken
Grilled Balsamic Chicken can be prepared and frozen for serving at a later date – a great make ahead meal. Or it can be made a few hours ahead of time and left to marinate in the refrigerator for an evening meal. It has a little bit of balsamic tang to liven up the flavor of a nicely balanced mixture of herbs. Leftovers (if there are any!) can be sliced, warm or cold, atop a bed of salad greens for another meal. In a time crunch? Or missing one of the herbs? You can substitute 2-3 teaspoons of Italian seasoning for the herbs. Parsley, basil and oregano are basic in Italian seasoning. Depending on the brand you will find a combination of other herbs so the flavor will be somewhat different. But . . . in a pinch that works! Measure dried herbs into your hand and crush ...

Hawaiian Party Burgers
Hawaiian style! Party on a bun. So quick, so easy to make; the sauce is just a little bit sweet and a little bit tangy. Your family and friends will love Hawaiian Party Burgers and think you worked really hard to make them special! I’ll never tell! When you pick up the package of King’s Hawaiian Rolls in the grocery, check to see which variety you have in your hand. It should say something like “savory butter rolls” or “original sweet” or even “honey wheat”. Did you know they also make a Jalepeno Roll? I didn’t until I was ready to use it. Oh my goodness – that’s hot and spicy!!!! Makes my eyes water even thinking about it! Probably really good if you like hot and spicy – but definitely not what I was expecting. Look before you buy! I also have used slider rolls. So ... [Read More]
Bacon Wrapped Grilled Asparagus
Bacon wrapped grilled asparagus was on the menu when we were guests at a birthday dinner early in spring. My mother loved asparagus. Wheels loves asparagus. Me -- no. I would buy it for them, but eat it. . . emphatically NO. Not at all. Never. No asparagus crossed these lips. I had tasted it. Once. Bad memory. Even the name – *shudder*. However, this time the grill meister handed me the plate to carry to the table and casually said, this is pretty good stuff. Maybe it was the enticing smell of the bacon. Or the festivities. Or my good manners kicked in. Whatever it was, I put a bundle on my plate as it came by during dinner. Wheels raised an eyebrow and kindly gestured that he would rescue me from the asparagus ever so discreetly since I surely had taken it by ... [Read More]
