Now that we are in the full swing of summer, it’s time for easy recipes that can be made on the grill. This recipe for Cast Iron Asparagus and Peppers is perfect because it can be made on the grill or in the oven. It’s also very good for you, veggies and olive oil with just a bit of seasoning will give you a ton of flavor that you will love! I used my 10 inch cast iron skillet, see here. I love using this because it works just as well as my 12 inch but can handle stuff like this with ease. This can cook while you have your main course cooking and you don’t need to worry about it. The cast iron helps everything roast evenly. Cast Iron Asparagus and Peppers is a perfect easy summer side for your hot and relaxing nights.  [Read more…]

Irish Colcannon Potatoes

Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day and I spent my week enjoying all the yummy food. I made my yearly Grilled Corned Beef Reubens and I was seriously considering throwing together some Irish Nachos, but I decided to go with a little more classic and make some Irish Colcannon Potatoes. This recipe originates in Ireland and is considered a traditional dish for Halloween. But since I’m not in the motherland, let’s enjoy it on St. Paddy’s instead! I kept the skin on the potatoes to give the dish more texture. This is a hearty dish that’s the the cabbage and will fill you up even if you don’t partake in any corned beef.  [Read more…]

I have recently started loving making orzo. It reminds me of rice but it’s heartier and it holds sauces better. This Garlic Parmesan Orzo came out perfectly and was a perfect addition to dinner. It’s also great that this is pretty filling on it’s own so you can make this alone and have a lovely meal.
