The other day I was taking a break from my work day by relaxing on the patio, and I was thinking it would be a nice time for a margarita!! Margaritas are like the perfect drink. They're tangy, salty, and sweet with a citrus kick! And I wondered how it would taste poured over grilled meat or fish. For obvious reasons, pouring a margarita over an open flame is probably not the best idea, but I … [Read more...]
In my efforts to drop a few (okay, a lot) of pounds, I made this jerk spice rubbed tuna that is grilled for under a minute to keep it moist. I cool the spiciness of it by serving the tuna on a bed of mango salsa. This Meat On A Stick Monday is light, low calorie, full of flavor, has heart healthy omega 3 fatty acids, a full serving of fruits and vegetables and there isn't a pound of butter in … [Read more...]
Course ground toasted coriander and agave syrup make a slightly spicy sweet glaze brushed over bacon wrapped scallops! The salty bacon tempers the sweet agave, and the plump juicy scallops make a great skewer. I served them along with a warm potato salad of fingerling potatoes and fresh crisp green beans with a bacon apple cider dijon mustard vinaigrette, but you could serve them with any side you … [Read more...]
Many years ago while living on the East Coast, I used to take my daughters to a food court restaurant called, Cajun Cafe. Their bourbon chicken/pork was soooo good! I’d get mine with a little extra spice. Since I moved to Cali I craved it but hadn’t found a Cajun Cafe, so I decided to experiment. With bourbon, brown sugar, and a kick of cayenne… I think it’s as close as I can get to their version. … [Read more...]
We're going to the Middle East with Meat on a Stick Monday! I love the spices and flavors of the Middle East. With so many countries in close proximity to each other there is an overlap of cuisine. Kufta (or kofta) are little meatballs or meatloaves skewered and cooked over an open fire. Many Middle Eastern countries have their own variation of them. Greece, Iran, Israel, Turkey, Pakistan, and … [Read more...]

Elk striploin is marinated for 24 hours, then quickly grilled and drizzled with a simple peanut sauce for a play on an Indonesian favorite. I made it a main course with coconut milk rice and steamed edamame with chili flakes and black pepper! Meats on a stick are the perfect food. It can also be served as a buffet appetizer by placing the skewers on a bed of dry roasted … [Read more...]
Walk around most any street in Peru, or attend a sports event and Beef Heart Anticuchos will be the snack you'll most likely encounter. The slightly spicy, tangy meats on a stick are a favorite of Peruvians. They are so easy to make, and utilize a part of the animal most wouldn't consider. With a quick marinade in ahi panca sauce, these tasty bites only need a skewer and a few minutes … [Read more...]
Summer is on it's way so that means it's time to pull out the grill! And this is hands-down my favorite shish kabob made my way, so I decided to name it after myself. lol For the best flavor, marinate the venison no less than 24 hours. I suggest you use a dry aged top butt or backstrap for the most tender cut and cook it to no more than rare to medium-rare. Click on the thumbnail to the … [Read more...]
