Fried: Pickle Me This

Fried Pickles

It's been over a year since my last recipe post, and what do I go and do for the first post returning this blog to form, toss out the grill and take to the fryer! Don't worry, barbecue and grilling is on the menu, but I recently let you Meatwavers decide what you would like to see at the Meatwave, and a side of fried pickles was unanimously choosen, with one loyal reader asking to see the process. In the interest of giving the people what they want, I proudly present to you the fried pickle.

Sweet! Potato Salad

Sweet Potato Salad

With a cold rain currently falling outside and 4 previous days of high temperatures below 80 degrees, it's time to face facts, fall is upon us. Although the summer harvest is still kicking for a couple more weeks, I think it's about time we settle into reality and look to the months ahead. Possibly the most exciting part of this change for me, aside from the upcoming election (yes, it is possible to stare at an election map for three hours straight), is the sweet potato's return to my regular diet.

Tangy Pit Beans

Tangy Pit Beans

It happens almost every summer, it comes closer to the end of the season and I start wondering where it all went. In a mad dash to fit in as much fun into these fleeting days, I find myself less and less plopping down in front of the computer, choosing instead to be bad to my blog in pursuit of all else that I had neglected during the prior months. Since time is such a commodity for me this time of year, I've also found ways to cut the time I spend in the kitchen, without giving it up completely, starting with this quick and delicious recipe for Tangy Pit Beans.

Who's Your Baba?

Baba Ghannouj

For all the work I put into my meat creations, I have very little to show in terms of sides. It seems week after week I pour all of my attention and energy into outdoing myself with a main course, but I'm very bad at rounding out the meal with a nice accompaniment, usually just throwing some corn or veggies on the grill. I feel like this is such a cop-out and I'm not doing justice to my meal, my guests, or myself. It's about time I devote more time to creating a well rounded meal (not in the health-wise sense), and I started this personal quest with a bowl of Baba Ghannouj.

The Summer of Squash

Summer Squash

I've been good at staying on topic so far. Every recipe I've shared with you has featured meat in some form or another, and that's the way it should be. Realistically speaking, that's not always how it is though. I know, I know, the truth isn't always pretty, but it's still the truth. I pride myself at creating a non-discriminatory Meatwave, and even though everything obviously ways heavily on the meat side, there is room in my heart to embrace some totally non-meat items, as long as they're still grilled or smoked that is. So to my veggie friends out there, here's one of my favorite, and most simple, grilled non-meat delights, the summer squash.
