Clambaked…

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been down by the Cape, where community clambakes can be a pretty common event throughout the Summertime.

It’s about that time of year where I embrace easy, crowd pleasing and cookout-friendly recipes- be it main courses, satisfying sides, or light and refreshing desserts and beverages.

Cookout Classics: Grilled Corn with Spicy Aioli

In the Summertime, I love grilling fruits and vegetables. There’s just something so satisfying about grilled pineapple and watermelon skewers with some feta added in for good measure- or some grilled onions and peppers to throw on top of a freshly prepared and juicy cheeseburger. Here in New England- grilling outdoors is an activity that’s […]

Cookout Classics: BLT Tacos

Making a BLT isn’t exactly a challenge and doesn’t require any significant level of skill. It’s three basic, core ingredients and mayonnaise (if you prefer) spread out on some bread or a roll. Writing a long introductory post about something so simple doesn’t exactly feel necessary. What I *will* say is that BLTs are also […]
