The use of fresh pineapple to glaze grilled chicken will bring a sweet tropical flavor to your plate. These are a perfect party dish for a summer luau!

Braising is a wise choice of preparation for lamb shanks, as this cut is typically tough. The “low and slow” cooking process results in tender, juicy meat that just falls off the bone.

Lemon and thyme are often used to compliment the flavor of lamb. For this recipe we used the ever fragrant lemon thyme herb to infuse the olive oil for marinating. This seasoning combines the wonderful flavors of lemon and thyme by use of one simple herb.

During my years at Penn State, I had the opportunity to spend a semester living in Rome to study urban design. What ensued were four months of sipping cappuccino, teaching myself how to paint and draw, and a lot of incredible pizza. Italian pizza is light, with a thin crust and topped with fresh ingredients. This pizza is our grain-free version of the pizza I so often enjoyed in Italy.

The dark meat of the chicken is full of wonderful flavor, and becomes even more delicious when allowed to cook in its own juices from the fatty skin. For this recipe, we place shallot and garlic under the skin to infuse the chicken with flavor, and simply sprinkle salt and pepper over top. The crisp skin adds the perfect crunch when taking that first juicy bite!

Bring a bit of French cooking into your kitchen without much fuss. Traditional duck confit takes several days to make. In our version the work is scaled back to a few hours, while preserving all the wonderful flavors.

Lamb chops are a tasty way to bring new flavors to summer time grilling. For this recipe we use a simple seasoning of lemon, garlic, shallot, and oregano to enhance the wonderful flavor of the juicy lamb chops.

When I was very small, I can remember making roast leg of lamb with my Grandy Kyp. She always included me in the process of cooking, and she taught me along the way. For the reinvention of her recipe, we were lucky to have her join us for the cooking, and the eating!

Mint makes a perfect complement for the savory flavors of lamb in any dish. This “pasta” recipe celebrates this classic pairing by emphasizing the flavor of mint in the pesto.

If you like your burger with a little kick, then this one is for you. Wrap it up in some big, fresh lettuce leaves and you’ll have a cookout hero in your hands.

Chimichurri is a fresh and slightly spicy sauce that can be used as a garnish over meat, eggs, or fish, as well as a delicious marinade. We enjoy chimichurri drizzled over our steaks or cooked over a fish of our choice.

Guacamole is a party-time staple for us. Always a hit, this creamy dip pairs beautifully with most vegetables. Whether it is a summer cookout or Monday night football, we are always sure to serve up some delicious guac’ and fresh veggies for dipping.

Some days (okay, most days) we just want something simple for breakfast. This one is really easy to prepare, especially when you already have some slow-cooked steak (or pulled pork) on hand. For a little kick, try drizzling your eggs with a bit of Tabasco sauce.

Growing up, my family would often serve lox with bagels and cream cheese at family brunches. This was always a special occasion when family came into town. In my mind, I can still taste the flavors of a toasted bagel topped with cream cheese, lox, red onion, tomato, and capers. For our version of this dish, we replaced the bagel and cream cheese with eggs for an equally delicious and much healthier version.

This breakfast is an example of how to use leftover meat, vegetables, and sauces that you have on hand. Everything goes into this omelet, except the kitchen sink!

Imagine, if you will, a marriage between traditional pork bacon and beef jerky. That is the flavor you will taste from beef bacon. If you are a bacon lover, as many are, then we encourage you to try beef bacon. It is a delicious way to bring slightly new flavors to a classic breakfast.

This breakfast is our version of eggs Benedict. In place of the traditional hollandaise sauce, we serve ours with an avocado drizzle that reinvents this dish with a primal spin.

This delicious breakfast is a creative way to enjoy having a single-serving egg quiche all to yourself. We love how the top gets crispy while the vegetables in the center are encapsulated in warm, fluffy eggs.
