Grilled Hot Buffalo Wings are easy to make at home I have to confess that deep-fried hot wings are not my favorite thing. They don't stay crispy for very long, so take-out or leftovers can get pretty soggy. And I don't love all the extra calories you get with deep-frying. I have a deep fryer, but it's not an appliance I have out all the time. So, Grilled Buffalo Hot Wings are my answer. These are not typical hot wings I know how typical Buffalo Wings are made. We live in Upstate NY after ... Read More about Grilled Buffalo Hot Wings

Fresh Tomato Vinaigrette
You will love the flavor in this Fresh Tomato Vinaigrette! As I've mentioned in a few recent posts, we've not had the best gardening summer. Regardless, we have plenty of veggies making their way into the house still. It makes for busy days, getting everything preserved for the winter, so that nothing goes to waste. This Fresh Tomato Vinaigrette is the result of a few extra tomatoes lying on the kitchen counter at dinner time. It just makes sense - a vinaigrette is mainly an ...

Garlic Scape Chimichurri Sauce
The best topping for any steak! We grow a LOT of garlic. We eat a lot of it and sell some, plus it's good for the chickens. That does give us a LOT of Garlic Scapes to deal with though. Garlic scapes are the flower of a garlic plant, and leaving them in place robs the garlic bulb of growth. The plant will put more energy into maturing a flower, which will eventually fling seeds around - nature's way of growing more garlic. Our way is to separate the cloves and plant them, but nature takes a ... Read More about Garlic Scape Chimichurri Sauce
Buttermilk Sriracha Chicken Burgers
There is something about summertime that makes me feel compelled to grill up some kind of meat and slap it on a bun, surrounded by some fresh garden veggies. It is kind of irresistible to me. You see - we can only grill in the summer. We don't have a covered spot for either of our grills, so once it begins to get really nasty out, we pack them into the barn till spring. Theoretically, we could leave one of them in the nearer-by shop, light up some charcoal in the winter, and trudge across the ... Read More about Buttermilk Sriracha Chicken Burgers
Herb Grilled Chicken Thighs
This is my own version of a very popular local treat. A long time ago, a professor in the food science department at Cornell University, which is a stone's throw from my back door, created a recipe for a chicken marinade that remains a staple of chicken BBQ's and that everyone around here makes all summer long. You can find the original recipe just by googling "Cornell Chicken", but my version is brightened up quite a bit with fresher ingredients than Dr. Baker, the original inventor, used. And ...

Grilled Romaine Salad
Grilled Romaine? I have to admit that I didn't think up grilled salads all on my own. There are many versions out there, some more complicated, and many using different ingredients. I like to keep this to the most basic elements - fresh, crisp romaine, a flavorful vinaigrette and some salty cheese. Perhaps you haven't yet run across this idea yet, in which case, you might be thinking that I have lost my mind, but rest assured - grilling lettuce is not crazy! When you begin with a nice crispy ... Read More about Grilled Romaine Salad
