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. When it's a new dish they also bring along the recipe to share. 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.

I'm also getting repeated requests for my flavorful Tabbouleh salad and Angel Hair Pasta with Dried Tomatoes from my family and friends. Everyone is enjoying these healthy and tasty dishes.

Looking for new barbecue side dishes? Try our flavorful cold green bean salad with feta and pecans. it's an easy make ahead appetizer.

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 an issue 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 above and use russet potatoes for the best flavor!

Green Bean Salad, Provençal
This is an amazingly easy and tasty salad to showcase lovely haricots verts from the cookbook Simca's Cuisine by Simone "Simca" Beck. The French flair of this salad is unmistakable. We never knew that French cuisine could be so unfussy. We've made this salad many times but tend to enjoy it best when we can also showcase other produce grown right in our garden. We use our homegrown tomatoes, fennel, and basil.

A guide to canning fresh green beans
France is the birthplace of modern canning. During the Revolutionary War the government of France needed a way to make food available for it's troops out in the field. They offered a money reward to the first person who could come up with a way to do this. In 1809 a French confectioner developed a vacuum sealing method using glass jars. Thus canning was born.
