Filed under: Poultry, Recipes, Grilling, America, Guilty Pleasures I'm not gonna pretend that this picture is pretty, or in the least bit appetizing, but I will note that the results are disturbingly delicious. The heart of the matter is that I went to a cookout a few weekends ago and was offered a grilled chicken heart by a friend who has yet to ...

Filed under: Recipes, Grilling, Meat, Summer We're all fans of the easy summer barbecue: inviting a few friends over for an afternoon of hanging around the backyard, tossing some Hebrew Nationals on the Weber, spilling mustard on your shirt, falling asleep in the lounge chair and waking up redder than a gas station footlong.

It comes from Charlie Gipe, the executive chef at Hershey's and sounds like maybe a pop food version of mole sauce. You use four cups of ...

We always say that it's OK that we're eating cheeseburgers and drinking beer because we'll start exercising and eating well - seriously! - on July 5.

Filed under: Vegetables, Recipes, Grilling This seems to be the week for chipotle-based glazes to put on your corn. Yesterday I posted the recipe for Grilled Corn with Chipotle-Lime Butter, and today it's Maple-Chipotle Glazed Grilled Corn. It's from Schwan's and uses their Mini Super Sweet Corn on the Cob.
