The Summer of Squash

Summer Squash

I've been good at staying on topic so far. Every recipe I've shared with you has featured meat in some form or another, and that's the way it should be. Realistically speaking, that's not always how it is though. I know, I know, the truth isn't always pretty, but it's still the truth. I pride myself at creating a non-discriminatory Meatwave, and even though everything obviously ways heavily on the meat side, there is room in my heart to embrace some totally non-meat items, as long as they're still grilled or smoked that is. So to my veggie friends out there, here's one of my favorite, and most simple, grilled non-meat delights, the summer squash.

A Potato Salad to Write Home About

BBBQ

I had written off potato salad as a totally unnecessary part of my personal food culture. It seemed to pop its head up all over my family's affairs. Those cold, bland potatoes soaked in mayonnaise, prompted a "this is so gross" face every time I crossed paths with this so-called salad. That was until I took a leap of faith and made my own potato salad last year. A recipe that involved both grilling and bacon roused my interest, resulting in a revelation of what a potato salad can, and should, be.

Meat a Meatwaver: Mike

mike

It's obvious I love to grill and barbecue, but it means little to me if I can't share the foods I make. I created The Meatwave mostly to have a time to get together with friends and make news ones, while collectively enjoying some meat, of course. So it seems right that this blog expand past waves of meat alone to let you know a little more about The Meatwavers that enjoy these barbecues. This week fittingly starts with Mike, who (besides Kris) has the best Meatwave attendance record, easily eating more of the meat than any others past or present.

Grilled Leeks or How to Make a Good Thing Bad for You

Grilled Braised Leeks

If you've been reading this blog you probably know two things about me by now: I am part of local CSA and I really love Good Eats. Although not as mystifying as mizuna, leeks, another share veggie from last week, were something I have never prepared in my life. In fact, my entire knowledge of this veggie is based on a 1/2 hour episode of a certain television program. So this was my starting point to deal with the leek, and after successfully delicious attempt at frying leek rings (so much better than onion rings in many ways), I turned to another preparation I could get excited about, grilling them....oh, and did I mention that this involved bacon!
