Food Tip of the Day #3

Put it on a stick.

Make dinner time, happy hour, or even an afternoon snack a veritable riot by putting food on a skewer. The most obvious skewer is a beef, chicken, pork or some sort of fish/shellfish kebab. Try Grilled Teriyaki Sea Scallops, Lemon Barbecued Chicken and Shrimp Kebabs or the Asian inspired Pork Tenderloin Kushiyaki. For a nibble with drinks, sandwich small chunks of fresh mozzarella between cherry tomatoes that has been cut in half. Skewer on toothpicks and drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette and some finely chopped basil for a caprese salad on a stick. Have a snack for the kids with skewers of fresh fruit and cheese and let the party begin.

Food Tip of the Day #2

Having a dip such as Dill Dip in your refrigerator allows for many options during the week. It can be thinned with some half and half and used as a dressing for your favorite salad, mixed with diced cucumbers and sweet vadalia onions for a topping for grilled mahi mahi, spooned into hollowed out cherry tomatoes for a quick appetizer, or served as a dip with potato chips and cut up celery, carrots, and sugar snap peas.


Food Tip of the Day #1

When grilling salmon or any other firm fish such as halibut or swordfish for dinner, make an extra pound or two for fish tacos for the next day. With tortillas, shredded cabbage, a few lime slices, and a quick sauce of 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sour cream and 1/2 teaspoon chilpolte powder on hand, dinner is ready without even having to think about it.
