Favorite Meals From The Garden

]]> During the summer growing season I love it when all or most of my meal comes from the garden. It gives me a sense of pride to know that I grew the meal in front of me, and that it tastes ten times better than anything I could buy at the grocery store (also more nutritious, and organically grown but that’s another story).945777_43637914-grilling-vegetables

Here are a couple of my favorite summer meals from the garden:

  • Green beans and new potatoes
  • BLT’s with fresh Beefsteak tomatoes, and greens from the garden.
  • Corn on the cob, tomato sandwiches, and fried squash, are a fabulous combination, who needs meat?
  • Pickled beats and eggs, with a tomato and fresh greens salad.
  • Grilled veggie kabobs with cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions.

What’s your favorite summer meal straight from the garden?

Potatoes on the Grill

]]> Today I watching the Food Network and Bobby Flay was making some potatoes on the grill.  I’m a fan of anything potatoes - a firm believer in the fact that there are no bad potato recipes. This dish is a grilled french fry or “steak” fry.

Start with 6 clean, good-sized potatoes.  Put them in a pot of cold water, add 1 tablespoon of salt, then set to boil for 10 minutes. Remove the potatoes, let cool, then slice into strips, and drizzle with oil (I prefer olive).

Set your grill to high.  Sprinkle the pre-cooked potatoes with Bobby’s version of Old Bay seasoning (see recipe below), then grill for 3 to 5 minutes. 

That’s it. Yum!

Bobby Flay’s Bay Rum Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon ground bay leaves
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons celery salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground mace
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

    • Combine all ingredients.  Store in an air-tight container.
