This to me is the classic “treat yourself” meal to have with company. We bought some delicious steaks at Eastern Market and experimented with a bunch of Penzey’s seasonings: Bicentennial rub, Chicago seasoning, and Old English rub. Bicentennial ended up being the favorite. We also made homemade french fries (included here) and Asian-y Asparagus (listed [...]

Asian-y Asparagus

This is sort of a hybrid of a John recipe and a Missy recipe. Green beans are great this way as well. This is good as either a stir fry or a grilled dish.

This is how my dad used to always make shish kabobs. I tend to go with a more Indian/Middle Eastern preparation, but this is still a good standby.
German potato salad

This is a recipe which Eve gave me that I then fiddled with a bit. I hate mayo, so traditional potato salad doesn’t really appeal to me.

Adapted this from a Rachael Ray recipe. It’s pretty versatile – throw in red pepper if you like, add some other spices, etc. These can be done on a George Foreman if you don’t have an outdoor grill.

I made this recipe up once when I needed something last-minute to bring to a cookout.

Another go-to grill recipe – this marinade works on steak as well. If lacking a grill, broil in the oven for 10 minutes or until cooked through.

This can also be done in the oven if you’re lacking a grill.
Beer can chicken

This is a great grill recipe, but if you guys don’t have one in your apartment, it can easily be adapted for the oven. Just roast on 400 until it reaches the desired internal temperature (I’d say start checking it after 45 minutes if you don’t have a meat thermometer). I think this belongs to [...]
