Thumb_10047_Orzo With Mozzarella And Mint

With so few ingredients, this simple pasta dish highlights how the creamy texture of the mozzarella and al dente bite of the orzo play off of each other. Try this with any grilled meat.

Thumb_10250_Shrimp, Tomato And Feta Risotto With Basil

The risotto acts as a creamy base for the classic combination of shrimp, tomatoes, feta and basil. Any combination of herbs. You could do without the parmesan, but just the little bit helps bind everything together.

Thumb_10955_Bourbon- And Maple-Grilled Acorn Squash

I prefer to grill-roast acorn squash instead of other varieties because it cuts so easily into neat wedges. The curve of a wedge nicely captures a pool of glaze that beautifully burnishes the surface. Read more about this recipe in Diane Morgan's Grill Every Day.

Thumb_11388_Smoked Pork Shoulder In Dry Rub

When smoking Boston butt, figure an hour and a half per pound. A 4-pound boneless shoulder takes a long time to cook, but it's mostly unattended. Get it going by noon and you'll have dinner ready on time.

Thumb_11740_Mama's Crawfish Etouffee

A Cajun specialty, étouffée is a succulent, tangy sauce usually made with crawfish or shrimp. The word étoufée comes from the French étouffer (to smother), and that's it exactly: rich and tender crawfish tails smothered in a spicy blanket of flavorful sauce.

Thumb_14006_Chicken And Summer Squash Salad

This salad keeps in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; allow to warm up almost to room temperature before serving. Read more about this recipe at the Washington Post.

Thumb_16070_Barbecued Chicken

Thumb_16070_Barbecued Chicken

Sweet barbecue sauces, such as this one, will scorch easily; a spray bottle of water will help douse flare-ups. Chicken is notorious for burning on the surface before it is cooked through. A barbecue cover can help contain the heat and cook the chicken more evenly. This recipe is part of Andrew Schloss's Sunday Dinners.

Thumb_13044_Spicy Tomato Butter

Spread this flavored butter on bread for a spicy, creamy kick. It's also delicious on grilled corn. This recipe is part of Andrew Schloss's Sunday Dinners.

Thumb_18489_Heirloom Beans And Rice With Smoked Turkey

Thumb_18489_Heirloom Beans And Rice With Smoked Turkey

Smoked turkey wings and thighs are available at Whole Foods markets and good butchers. They're a great substitute for pork or ham hocks, and have more lean meat on them.

Thumb_19171_Black-Eyed Peas, Smoked Sausages And Greens

Thumb_19171_Black-Eyed Peas, Smoked Sausages And Greens

A quick weeknight meal which can be made using leftover black pepper greens, this dish is healthy, hearty and satisfying. This recipe is part of Andrew Schloss's Sunday Dinners.

Thumb_20476_Grilled Tequila-Habanero Flank Steak

Thumb_20476_Grilled Tequila-Habanero Flank Steak

Flavored with spices, garlic, habanero and a couple of shots of tequila, a moist and piquant rub is a spirited match for grilled skirt or flank steak. Marinate the steaks overnight and bring to room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking for the best flavor.
