TWO OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE RECIPES

April 9, 2014

It’s spring.  Worth repeating that glorious word– SPRING!  Yesterday the temperature around these parts hit a whopping 76.  WHAT.  It felt glorious and soul healing.

When the weather starts hitting these heavenly temperatures, I start itching to get out and grill.  Today I’m re-sharing two of my all time favorite recipes:  Grilled Artichokes and my Steak Marinade.  I first posted them last year, long before my back deck got a makeover so this will also be a nice reminder of just how darn ugly is was right before I show you how beautiful it is now.

But until then, go get yourself some gorgeous in-season artichokes, some steaks from your butcher, and get grilling!

At my house, we are grillers.  We grill.  All summer, almost every night.  It’s one of my favorite things about this time of year.  Nothing quite beats sitting out on the deck, and cooking up a feast of fresh food.

Grilling is also pretty easy, if you have some great go-to recipes.  Well my friends, today I am sharing my two most requested/raved about recipes with you:  Grilled Artichokes with Garlic Mayo and my tried and true Perfect Steak Marinade.  Both of these babies I created, after years of perfected just the right about of everything.  Both I have committed to memory at this point and I can tell you, they’re pretty much fail proof.  But just in case you’re unsure, we’ve put them in pretty visual video form, because we’re fancy like that.

 

Here are the recipes in written form:

7)  Dip petals in garlic mayo and eat.  A lot.
