I’m usually the one that makes the desserts and other baked goods (except for breads – that is one of Jack’s specialties). So I was…

Now that we’re outside at dinnertime and grilling as much as possible – we’ve changed up our menu a bit and we try to prepare side dishes that can also be cooked on the grill! (No sense in heating up the kitchen if at all possible!) Lots of vegetables are well-suited for grilling (see here,…
Today’s Parmesan-Coated Asparagus Wrapped in Prosciutto is NOT your typical recipe for this popular, classic appetizer! Oh no.
