Honey Mustard Glazed Chicken Wings

Honey Mustard Glazed Chicken Wings

Wow! Just wow. This is what Easy to Make, Hard to Forget is all about! These little drummies were incredibly tasty little bites and the glaze was so simple to make! A little Colorado rain dampened my excitement when I wasn't able to get these on the grill, but the old standby stovetop came to the rescue. I can only imagine these wingettes getting even better all charred up over an open flame. Honey Mustard Glazed Chicken Wings Ingredients: 2-3 lbs. chicken wings grill seasoni

Asian Marinated Ahi with Gochujang Grilled Peaches

Asian Marinated Ahi with Gochujang Grilled Peaches

I really enjoyed this Asian marinade I threw together last weekend. I say “Asian” because I mixed oyster sauce (traditionally made in China) with fish sauce (common in all of SE Asia) and Korean Gochujang, which is a thick, sweet, savory and spicy chili sauce. All the sauces were then mixed with Japanese Togarashi 7-spice powder. Together, the marinade was salty, spicy, sweet and peppery – absolutely amazing! The remaining Gojuchang is brushed on the peach halves just as they

Herb Dip with Cream Cheese

Herb Dip with Cream Cheese

I already created a dilly dip recipe in my Salsas, Dips & Sauces book, but I figured I needed another. You can never have too many! This recipe is similar to my Cream Cheese and Garlic Dip except for the addition of some fresh Italian parsley and a little Greek yogurt. The parsley flavor really wakes the dip up and the yogurt adds an enjoyable tang. It's delish with veggies or crackers. Herb Dip with Cream Cheese Ingredients: 8 oz. cream cheese, softened 1/4 c. 2% Greek yogur

Grilled Tomato Salsa

Grilled Tomato Salsa

A few weeks back I attended a cooking class all about Latin American cooking. The appetizer was a still-warm, freshly roasted tomato salsa that I just couldn't get enough of! I asked the cooking school owner for her recipe and she happily provided it. However, it involved roasting the vegetables in the oven for almost an hour. Ugh. It's July and way too hot for that long of a bake. Thankfully, we just installed a brand-spanking new grill on our deck. If tomatoes can be baked,

Bacon and Roasted Brussels Sprout Pasta

Bacon and Roasted Brussels Sprout Pasta

We usually eat pasta as a last minute meal when time is short because it cooks so quickly. While this isn't the fastest of pasta recipes I've ever made, it's just too good not to share! It's inevitable that when I open a package of bacon, I need to plan a few bacon-filled meals in a row. There are only two of us in our house, which means one package of bacon goes a loooong way! This recipe is for two servings, but please do double or triple the recipe (and use up your bacon m

Roasted Beet and Potato Salad

Roasted Beet and Potato Salad

This is not your ordinary potato salad! I'm taking a cue my Scandinavian roots with the beet and dill mixture. The potato salad is part sweet, part tangy and totally colorful! This will impress at your next picnic. Roasted Beet and Potato Salad Ingredients: 2 lbs. red potatoes 2 medium red beets 1/2 c. Greek yogurt 1/3 c. sour cream 2 green onions, diced 1 Tbsp. fresh dill, chopped 2 Tbsp. milk (optional) Directions: Wash and cut potatoes into uniform size by halving or quart
