While it's perfectly acceptable to love corn dogs as a kid, there are fewer opportunities to enjoy them as adults. Part of that has to do with the corn dog and its reputation, but we also feel guilty for taking something that's not all that healthy to begin with and deep-frying it on a stick.
Fortunately, one can shamelessly return to the good times of youth with this baked version, which uses smoked chicken sausage instead of the traditional beef frank.

I'm having my friend over for dinner this weekend, and I'm going to bust out the new grill pan for something different and new: these grilled vegetable tostadas.
It makes perfect sense: people grill pizza, so why not grill tortillas? I love feta cheese, but if you're less of a fan, you can always substitute another cheese, like Mexican chihuahua, for instance.

Stir-fried steak reminds me of a dish my mother used to make. This recipe calls for skirt steak, but flank steak or any leftover steak would taste great in this dish.
With rice, vegetables, and peanuts, this balanced, bold-flavored dish is a great way to have dinner on the table in less than an hour.

When planning the menu for a going away party, there are several options.

This no-fuss meal is a simple marriage of sweet (fruit jam), savory (pork tenderloin), and tart (green apple) flavor profiles.

After writing the Summer seafood quiz this week, I can't stop thinking about bold, briny flavors. Today, I'll be firing up the grill for a seafood bake that calls for cod, shrimp, corn on the cob, and potatoes. The best part: I'm looking forward to using day-old bread to soak up all those seaside seasonings.

Fab is strictly enforcing the black and white dress code for our upcoming luau, so I'm creating a menu that features black and white dishes. Since the party starts after dinner, we'll offer guests only a few small bites.
Although it's not Hawaiian, a platter of sushi from our favorite Japanese restaurant is perfect for late night noshing.
