Grilled Corn

August 13, 2013 By Lisa

Grilled Corn on the Cob I LisaGCooks.com

Grilled Corn  It’s not the healthiest vegetable but oh man is it good!  In fact I’m pretty sure corn is synonymous with summer for a large part of the population.  So how does a girl get around the fact that this ‘vegetable’ definitely falls in the naughty category?  Well, I have two strategies: one, skip the butter!  The corn has tons of flavour ...

Grilled Potatoes

August 5, 2013 By Lisa

Barbecued Potatoes I LisaGCooks.com

Grilled Potatoes I love this recipe because the potatoes actually taste like French fries, mmmm, French fries. FYI, it doesn't matter how long you go without French fries, when you drive in the general vicinity of a McDonalds, they just calls your name. I've been known to yell expletives back. Serves 4 2 Large russet potatoes 2 – 3 tbsp ...

A Potato Salad for Mary K

April 22, 2013 By Lisa

A Potato Salad for Mary K This is a potato salad based on my mother’s yummy potato salad that was requested by a friend of mine; Mary K!   This is a rendition of the classic mayonnaise based salad that we all know and love.  Just out of curiosity, I checked a tub of potato salad that Mike keeps in the fridge, that salad (which isn’t even good) is ...

Steamed Potatoes

January 4, 2013 By Lisa

Steamed Potatoes I am a steaming believer; not only is it easy but your food will retain more flavour and more vitamins.  I tried making a potato side one day and am now finding myself systematically going through all of my recipes that called for boiled potatoes and changing it to steamed potatoes.  In case you like the stats; boiling potatoes ...

Curry Vegetable and Rice Salad

December 26, 2012 By Lisa

Curry Vegetable and Rice Salad  This dish is beyond yummy and so easy. What is also really cool about this recipe is its versatility; add whatever veggies you like, use whatever vinaigrette you like, and use whatever rice you like! Leftovers taste even better! This was the recipe I made: Serves 4 to 6 2 Cups cooked basmati rice, at room ...

Italian Chicken Stew with Grilled Polenta

December 21, 2012 By Lisa

Italian Chicken Stew with Grilled Polenta  So I had some issues with naming this recipe; it is kind of like coq au vin and almost like a chicken cacciatore, somewhere in there! This recipe can be slow cooked in the oven but when I made it I just did it on the stovetop.  Polenta is a staple in Italy and while it can be quite rich, the prepackaged ...
