Here is the Simply Recipes update for djuwettoo.fish@blogger.com There are 3 new posts in "Simply Recipes" Grilled Sweet Potatoes
Have you ever tried grilling sweet potatoes? It's quick and easy. You just peel the sweet potatoes, slice them into 1/4-inch slices, paint them with olive oil, sprinkle on some salt, and place on a hot grill. To serve, you want to slather them with some sort of vinaigrette—olive oil to keep them from tasting too dry, and an acid like lime juice or lemon juice to balance the sweetness of the sweet potatoes. We played around a bit with this recipe, after thinking we had "discovered" the wonderful combination of lime, cilantro, and sweet potatoes, only to find out many others have made a similar discovery. It's a great combination. You can substitute lemon juice for the lime, lime is better but lemon juice will work. And you can substitute parsley for the cilantro, especially if you are one for whom cilantro tastes like soap. Otherwise stick with the cilantro, in our opinion, it just works better here than the parsley. We've also tried adding some minced garlic to the dressing, but I prefer it without it.

     Grilled Romaine Lettuce
One of the great things about being a food blogger is that it compels you to be somewhat adventurous in your food. If you had told me a few years ago that I would not only be happily eating grilled romaine lettuce, but encouraging others to do the same, I would have thought you were nuts. Why in the world would anyone want to grill lettuce? Lettuce just isn't part of the grilling food group people! You know, burgers, ribs, beer can chicken. Grilled lettuce? Why that's just... just pretentious, that's what. Well the joke's on me, and anyone who loves salad and also loves grilled things, but hasn't tried to put them together. Lettuce is a vegetable, or at least we eat it like one. And we do grill vegetables. And they are good. It stands to reason that the vegetable we call lettuce, if endowed with enough structure, which romaine has, would also be good grilled. And it is! Continue reading "Grilled Romaine Lettuce" »
 Chicken Salad
Updated, from the recipe archive, my dad's favorite chicken salad. It's great! First posted 2006. ~Elise My mother and father make the best chicken salad. It's a joint effort; my dad assembles the ingredients, while my mom makes the dressing. It's not exactly your standard chicken salad. They like to include chopped apple, for a sweet note, and also chopped green olives, for their tangy saltiness. They'll use leftover chicken from a roast chicken, or their favorite baked chicken dish, and even include some of the crispy skin. You could also just poach some boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs in salted water for this salad. Continue reading "Chicken Salad" »
