Bacon and Brie Burger

A recent visit to Bareburger in Columbus inspired a new burger: the bacon and brie burger.  1 quarter pound grilled burger + applewood smoked bacon, French brie, and a pretzel bun = HEAVEN

Zucchini Parmigiana

For a fast, inexpensive grilled treat using summer produce, try grilled zucchini parmigiana.  Cut a medium to large zucchini in half and scoop out the seeds.  Brush olive oil on and grill both sides before filling the hollowed-out section with mozzarella cheese and topping with your favorite tomato sauce.

Summer Salads

With the abundance of fresh local produce, salads are a wonderful addition to summer fare.  Here, a basic salad includes queso fresco, grilled carrots tossed in sesame oil, chopped capers, beets, and bibb lettuce.

Food Kitty

The pets of foodies often love food as much as the foodies themselves.  Here, my cat Nemo investigates the fridge for some tasty finds.
