Recipes
for Summertime Entertaining, BBQ's and Cookouts
Everybody enjoys a BBQ or a
cookout. Summertime entertaining is a great time to get together with
family and friends enjoy great weather, outdoor entertaining, great company
and great food. Part of the fun of a BBQ or cook out for our family and
friends is sharing homemade dishes.
When our family and friends get together everybody brings something different,
along with the recipe. We have some family members and friends who have
perfected dishes and it's what we want them to bring. For instance I'm
known for my baked beans and my hamburgers. My mother-in-law's specialty
is her Ambrosia salad, my sister-in-law her deviled eggs.
We're going to be sharing some of these flavorful and easy bbq recipes with you so your family can enjoy them too. The best part about these recipes is that they are simple. You won't have to be slaving over the stove while others are outside enjoying the weather.
Grilling the Perfect Steak
At our house my husband does the cooking. He's our Grill Master. He's
actually very good at timing the burgers and steaks so that they're cooked
perfectly. We've learned to leave him alone and let him "do his thing"
at the grill.
It took us a while to find a fool proof time table for cooking steaks, but we did. We've used this time table for years now, with every cut of steak we've cooked and they've turned out perfectly.
I once had a guest comment
he couldn't believe he asked for a medium-rare steak and his wife asked
for a medium steak and they were served that way. It seems that at a lot
of backyard barbecues the steaks are cooked all one way - overdone.
Believe me when I say you can
cook the perfect steak every time using this time table.

The Perfect Potato for Potato Salad.
In the most recent recipe of Cooks Illustrated they did what they do so well, the reinvented classic American potato salad. What they found along the way was that the russet potato actually absorbs flavors from the dressing better than other types of potatoes, enhancing the overall flavor of the salad.
Try our tasty potato salad recipes below and use russet potatoes for the best flavor!

Fried green beans recipe, Deep fried green beans recipe
As with other recipes there are many variations of fried green beans. Actually the second one we've posted seems more like true fried green beans to us, but the first recipe works well too. If we use bacon fat in the first recipe we don't add the lemon juice/zest. Fried Green Beans 2 tablespoons olive oil (we prefer bacon fat for taste) 1 tablespoon butter 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and cut to preferred length.
Thanksgiving Dinner Recipes, Turkey Help
I took the turkey out of the freezer and put it into the refrigerator two days before Thanksgiving so that it would thaw thoroughly. I also kept an eye on it to make sure it was thawing. The day before Thanksgiving I got the turkey out, removed the giblets and rinsed it. I put the turkey back in the refrigerator.
Green Beans Almondine
Four takes on the classic Green Beans Almondine. There is certainly no shortage of recipes for Green Beans Almondine. It's a classic dish that's easy and elegant. We've given you four different versions here. Our first version is the classic recipe. The second recipe calls for the addition of a bit of lemon for a French twist, the third add's tamari or soy for an Asian flavor.
