From our compadre EH in South Texas comes another grapefruit-based recipe that is guaranteed to improve your life this weekend – his Honey Grapefruit Marinade. He notes that it’s quick and easy to stir together, and while it was probably concocted with pork or poultry in mind (he says this marinade, brushed and glazed to […]
Friday Feast
These are too good to not throw in one final “from the fall garden” Friday Feast this year, even though for many of our friends back home in the North country, cucumbers got stung by the snowfall and first whiff of freezing temps that rumbled through a few weeks ago. We’ve been putting up various […]
Continuing our “make use of the best of the late season garden” theme of the past several weeks, these End of Summer Zucchini Fritters are an easy peasy, damned-tasty way to use up one of late summer – early fall’s bumper crops. Years ago living up in the Flathead we’d occasionally round up the entire […]
For most folks around the country, the waning production of fall gardens and farmers’ markets are still flooding kitchens with lots of fresh vegetables – many of course head straight for the grill, though some of these garden gems need to processed or canned for another day. We’ve been canning pickles as a family since […]
Having never really met a chutney that we didn’t like, seeing the loads of fresh peaches and nectarines flooding the markets of late sent me digging through the files for this End of Summer Stone Fruit Chutney. The culinary wizards who argue that on the whole, Americans don’t appreciate good chutneys like we should, are […]
Even though the calendar has opened the door up on the upcoming fall season with the turn to September, there’s still plenty of grilling days remaining for most of us around the country. This Grilled Moroccan-Inspired Chicken is one we’ve had in the files for years, and to be honest, I was sure I’d already […]
Around our camp we’d obviously venture far out of our way to enjoy a great plate of tacos, and I have a feeling we’re not alone. No question we’d tag a Texas-ized, classically inspired, marinated in our “I can tell you then I’d have to kill you” secret sauce, skirt steak | fajita taco as […]
Fully realizing that astute ranchers have been finishing grass-fed feeder cattle for decades (if not centuries) on grain (including the gorgeous corn coming in now) to fatten them up for the table, I truly love the end of summer, get it while it’s mouth-wateringly fresh corn season. Now that we’re low-carbing it around our camp […]
With the bounty of summer produce pouring in, and the heat of summer still pouring it on, we’re reaching for cool relishes, salsas, and fresh chutneys to accompany just about every meal these days. There’s a big new batch of this Green Tomato Chow Chow sitting besides a dwindling supply of this mango chutney (though […]
Those who have followed our Friday Feast posts over the years well understand that we have always been, remain so today, and forever will be carnivores (I guess really technically omnivores), enjoying the bounty of different proteins available to anglers, hunters, and consumers across the fruited plains. Most of us have never truly met a […]
Last week, hankering for some fall-off-the-bone tender pulled and chopped pork shoulder, but unwilling to tend a smoker for 8 hours in the heat, I slow roasted one of these Rib Rub Pork Shoulders in the oven overnight. It was a tad over 10 lb. so we had a heap of pulled and chopped pork […]
Sticking with the “it’s high summer and hot as hellfire most days” theme of late, here’s a sorta new spin on a perfect side for your grilled thick-cut, bone-in pork chops (the ones you carefully brined before slapping on the grill) or your masterpiece grilled chicken recipe – a Summer Asian Cantaloupe Slaw. I’ll be […]
Years (literally years, going on eight in fact, ten if you count the predecessor site) of penning Friday Feast posts here on Chi Wulff has proven at least one thing – we’ve really never met a Tex Mex | New Mexico-inspired food we don’t like. We’ve had the pleasure of spending a fair amount of […]
It’s funny how some weeks a constellation of seemingly unrelated events can link together to bring a concept – or food – to mind, leading to new discoveries and a broadened appreciation for things outside the routine. This was one of those weeks. Jess (of Jess McGlothlin Media) recently spent a week and change down […]
Pending where you’re summering this year, by the second week of July it’s most likely full-on high summer. For most of us around the country it’s hot as blazes and the blush of summer has faded just a bit after the 4th. We tend to simplify things around our camp food-wise during the summer doldrums; […]
