Special thanks to Hamilton Beach for sponsoring this recipe for Grilled Blackened Salmon with Creamy Cucumber Dill Sauce and the opportunity for one lucky winner to receive a Hamilton Beach Indoor Searing Grill! One of my favorite things about living in California is the weather. In other parts of the country grilling season is only during a few short months in the summer, but here it's practically year round. Sure it might rain a little, but that's nothing compared to the frigid snowy weather … [Read more...]
Street Style Grilled Hot Dogs
This post is sponsored by Hebrew National via Mode Media. Every year in the Harris household starts off with a bang. It's almost as though we hit the ground running! 4 out of the 5 kids in our home celebrate birthdays during the first four months of the year, then my birthday and Mr. Harris' soon follow in May. It feels as though it's the holiday season, we blink, and it's summer. With all of the celebrating that we do during those months, food is always served. Luckily we live in a part of … [Read more...]
BBQ Chicken Sliders
Disclosure: This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #LegendaryTailgate #CollectiveBias I have a confession. For many, many years I really wasn't into traditional barbecue type foods. I loved the sides, but eating meats slathered in barbecue sauce just really wasn't my idea of tasty foods. I'd dined at quite a few places and tried to like it, but to me the meat was always dry and it was like they were covering that up with … [Read more...]
Grilled Honey Sriracha Wings with Herbed Yogurt Dip
Have I got some news for you! If you've been around for a while you might just remember the collaboration I did last year with my favorite kissing chefs, Chewsy Lovers. Mandi and Buck love to cook and grill, and they've come up with some amazing recipes for tailgating, so last year Mandi and I came up with a series called #ChicksWingIt because we wanted to share how us women can come up with some really great recipes for a tailgate food that is one of the most popular on game days - chicken … [Read more...]
Chili Lime Grilled Pork with Watermelon Pico de Gallo

You may or may not know that we are a football family.

Chili Cheese Grilled and Stuffed Bell Peppers
This post is sponsored by VELVEETA® . All opinions are my own. At the beginning of the month we made it official and furnished our backyard. We've been spending so much of our time outside, whether gardening or grilling, so why not make it as comfortable as possible? Since then we find ourselves gravitating to our backyard more often. Whether it's in the mornings to enjoy our morning coffee or in the evenings after dinner just to get some fresh air. We've also been grilling a lot more often … [Read more...]
Grilled Boneless Pork Chops with Chimichurri
Disclosure: This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The National Pork Board and the #GrillPork campaign. As always, all opinions are mine alone. If you've been around for a while you could probably guess that I prefer boneless meats to bone-in. I'm aware that the bone-in meats tend to be juicier and tastier, but for me I like to cut into my meat without a bone getting in the way and having to cut fat out. I know I have issues, but judging by the popularity of my first boneless pork … [Read more...]
Easy Steak Omelette with Mushroom and Tomato

As always, all opinions are mine alone. #KingOfFlavor #CollectiveBias We've been spending a lot of our weekends grilling in our backyard. We just can't help it, the kids can play and get some sun, the dogs can roam around, and we can hang out and enjoy the California summer nights. We recently bought a large charcoal grill and in the coming weeks we will be upgrading our backyard with some new tables and … [Read more...]
Black Bean Burgers with Chipotle Mayonnaise
Disclosure: This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. As always, all opinions are mine alone. #KingsfordFlavor #CollectiveBias Now that grilling season is upon us, I've discovered that sometimes coming up with recipes for the family can be a bit difficult. Especially since RiRi has been a vegetarian since last Fall and the rest of the family loves our traditional grilling meals. I've played around with a few different recipes here and there that she's been … [Read more...]
Sweet ‘n Spicy Rib Sandwich

Now, typically I leave the meats and grilling all up to the husband while I take care of sides, desserts and decor, but I wanted to show him that I could come up … [Read more...]
