Smoky Ribs for Game Day
Smoky baby back ribs finished with a sticky BBQ-honey sauce. Cutting them first makes them easier to season, cook, and serve—because nobody wants to carve a saucy rack while hungry people watch.
Shrimp Sambuca
A favorite shrimp recipe shared by my brother Greg — simple to make, full of flavor, and pretty enough to impress without feeling fussy. Serve it with crusty bread for dipping or spoon it over pasta for an easy dinner that feels straight out of Little Italy.
Grumpy Sicilian Pizza
Inspired by our Prescott getaway, this thick, golden Sicilian-style pizza is easy to pull together with Trader Joe’s pizza dough and your favorite sauce. It’s perfect for a casual dinner, a quick bite with friends, or an easy outdoor meal on the grill when you don’t want to heat up the kitchen.
Crispy Beer-Battered Fish Tacos
Golden beer-battered fish, creamy lime sauce, fresh toppings, and plenty of napkins. These are the tacos that converted our resident fish skeptic.
Grilled Lemon-Herb Chicken
Fresh lemon, garlic and herbs give this grilled chicken plenty of bright, savory flavor. Marinate it ahead, then hand it over to the grill master for an easy patio dinner.
