- Foil Packet Grilled PotatoesThere is no doubt that grilling helps make dinnertime a bit easier. I can usually cook an entire meal on the grill avoiding messy cleanups in the kitchen. These foil packed grilled potatoes are one of my family's favorite side dishes. Foil packs are a quick and simple way to get great tasting potatoes without any fuss. I just place baby Yukon Gold potatoes into a foil packet along with my favorite herbs and seasonings, some garlic cloves and olive oil and pop them on the grill. In about 15 minutes your potatoes will turn out slightly crisp and charred...

- Haluski (Noodles and Cabbage)St. Patrick's Day is around the corner and there's cabbage everywhere you turn. Although it might not be your typical Irish dish, I can't resist making it this time of year. Haluski is made with egg noodles and tossed with buttery caramelized cabbage. It is a warm and comforting meal that reminds me of my childhood every time I make it. My great-grandmother was from (at the time) Czechoslovakia. She passed the dish on to my mother, who made her own modifications over time. Now I make it for my family, and they go crazy for it. I think yours...
