Perfect Porterhouse Steak. Simply Awesome.
It’s January on Long Island and it is oh so cold, but that isn’t keeping me away from the outdoor grill, aka, The Beast.
In keeping to my January foodie theme, “The Month of Meat”, I am officially a Porterhouse perfectionist.
The recipe at the bottom of this blog will give you simple step by step instructions for grilling the most amazing Porterhouse steak that has ever been placed before you.
Usually this time of year I am busy with my slow cooker making soups and sauces and other slow food creations but that’s not the case this year, so far.
Grilled Balsamic Portobello Mushroom.
‘Shrooms.
I love veggies, but let’s get honest shall we?
There are only so many salads you can have in a week without growing whiskers and long ears.
Only so many stalks of celery…
Only so many carrots…
Only so much lettuce…
Enter the Mushroom.
Perfect for meatless Monday, vegetarians or for any other reason, portobello mushrooms are my go to ‘shroom when I know that I have a busy day ahead of me and I plan on grilling some hearty and healthy food after a busy day away from home.
If you have one of those set it and forget it type of days coming up and you don’t want to break out the crock-pot, this is the recipe for you.
As an appetizer, a side or a full entree, this marinated piece of Heaven will be on your playlist for a long time.
East Creek Grilled Oysters
Oysters are a simple treat that are either hit or miss with your taste buds.
You either love them or hate them…and there is no in between.
For me.. I love em.’
I could devour dozens in a sitting, but that would not be fiscally responsible, now would it?
One needs to save money for good wine as well.
Buffalo Cauliflower Steaks with Blue Cheese Dressing.
Sunday is fast approaching and you need something for the big game, but are sick and tired of the same old buffalo wings and pasta.

Old Fashioned Onion Rings with a Make-Over.
Welcome to your latest addiction.
Onion rings for dinner?

Sometimes you just want to eat what you want to eat and if that means breaking the rules of what we are told is right and wrong..then arrest me Officer Foodie.
( but let me bring my onion rings with me)
Tomatoes, Mozzarella and Basil . The Ultimate in Summer Food.
They are one of the simplest pleasures in the garden. Tomatoes. There are thousands of varieties of tomatoes and it seems as if we are eating them up as fast as we can. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Americans eat between 22- 24 pounds of tomatoes per person, per year and more than half of that is from ketchup and sauce. In my yard alone, I usually plant about 6 different types, from tiny grapefruit tomatoes ( perfect for salads) to the big juicy Beefsteaks that love to find their way onto white bread with lots of mayo. I’ve got tomatoes from June to October and love everyday that I can go out back and take care of my babies.
Chargrilled Rib Eye Steak and A Whole Lotta Love.
Memorial Day is a very important day. If it’s not a very important day to you…it should be.
A day to remember, a day to continue living and a day to give thanks to those that have given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. Their lives.
I like to honor those that gave so much in my prayers and honor my family and friends my grillin’ like a villain.
In particular, my grilling.
It’s time to rock out with my charcoal out, so grab a napkin and get ready to drool baby…
