Are you a steak lover? Chad certainly is, but the only way I have been able to achieve that much desired steakhouse flavor has been with a grill, until now. I have even been craving steak lately. So, I decided to put together a dinner that could rival our favorite steakhouse.

Copycat Chipotle Cilantro Lime Rice

We really don't eat out much, but when we do and we have something that we really enjoy, I love to create my own version at home. Last winter my sister-in-law and her kids came over for a visit while they were in town. We ended up getting dinner from Chipotle. The food was really great, but when I tried the Cilantro Lime Rice, I knew there were so many possibilities for this dish. So, I decided to create my own delicious version. It is truly amazing.

Bacon Cheddar Hasselback Potatoes

CLICK HERE FOR PRINTABLE RECIPE

The fantastic Hasselback Potato was all the rage last year, but needless to say... I am not real trendy. Shocking, I know! Seriously though, I am more of a classic girl. I am not what you call hip. But, I am really good with that. The trends come and go, classics... We are here to stay. So, what does this have to do with our lovely potato you ask?

As I was saying, I am not trendy. I kind of march to the beat of my own drummer. So Hassel-who potatoes? Exactly! Then, last month I needed the perfect side to go with my Bacon Bourbon Barbecue Chicken Kabobs; a potato that I could stuff with mounds of butter, cheese and bacon. Although I am very fond of the Italian Potato Skins I made last year, and yes they would be an appropriate carrying vessel, I have made a lot of potato skins. I wanted something different. I immediately remembered those accordion-like potatoes I saw everywhere last year.

Seasoned Grilled Fries

Welcome to TSRI's Summer Grilling Celebration! We have a fantastic week coming your way, full of grilled and summer favorites. When I whipped up the burger and chicken for this weeks posts, more than anything I wanted fries to go with these dishes. I did make some incredible Grilled Sweet Potato Fries last week, so I opted for a change.

These Seasoned Grilled Fries we made with large Russet potatoes and my favorite new spice, ground Chile de Arbol. Grilling these left a fantastic crispy exterior and tender interior. Firm enough to stand up to my favorite Beer Cheddar Sauce (that recipe is coming up soon).

I think the size of the fry intimidated my Munchkin. Seriously, she told Daddy "Uh, No!" when he asked her if she wanted fries. Chad was very happy to hear this. He devoured these fries, and the cheese sauce. Apparently sometimes 3 pounds of potatoes and a quart of Beer Cheddar Sauce are not enough. So, these fries received fave reviews, I loved them as well.

Grilled Sweet Potato Fries

Welcome to TSRI's Summer Grilling Celebration! Today we are talking about fries. What goes better together than peas and carrots or peanut butter and jelly? How about a fabulous burger and fries. French fries are the most perfect side for a burger, but when we are grilling we usually serve salads or chips for convenience.

I was trying to figure out how you can have the best of both worlds. How can you have an amazing burger and fries when you are barbequing? Well, the truth is you grill them!!! But, putting raw potatoes on a grill, does not a french fry make. {Is that even English?} The trick? Par-boil them before you grill them. Prep them and toss them on the grill when you are ready, any where.... at home, at a friends, at the beach. Anywhere you can grill you can make these unbelievable Grilled Sweet Potato Fries!

Potato and Cauliflower Mash

I remember watching episodes of Giada at Home when munchkin was a baby. I would hear her talk about her daughter and speak of how she would try so many things and she was loving vegetables. I was hoping I would be as lucky. I wished that my Munchkin would love broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, mushrooms, brussell sprouts and seafood (my early struggles) and I was pretty encouraged when she loved the homemade baby foods I made her. She loved the peas! Yeah! Success. Then came the green beans (vehemently hated the beans) I could get her to eat broccoli with cheese sauce (minor success).
