Roaster Oven Corn on the Cob
Placing the corn on a rack in the roaster oven over the water steams the corn instead of boiling it making it more tender and flavorful. Hint: if you are cooking for a large group use two roaster ovens. One to cook the corn and the other to keep the corn warm while the next batch is cooking.

Grilled Jalapeno Turkey Burgers
Everybody has their opinions on the best burger toppings, but what's inside the patties can be just as important. Jalapenos and green onions mixed into these turkey burgers gives a pop of flavor in every bite. A creamy topping for a "jalapeno popper" effect is a great choice to seal the deal.

Peanut Curried Pork Steak
Peanut butter and pork may seem like two dissonant ingredients but they actually pair really well together. Rich peanut sauce coats the curried pork and carrots deliciously. If you want to throw more veggies into the mix, broccoli would be a great match.

Grilled Chopped Steak Burger
Love a good steak? These burgers use ground sirloin instead of regular ground beef which gives them a more steak-like flavor. Sirloin is leaner than ground beef so make sure you don't overcook the burgers or they may end up dry.

Grilled Rib-Eye Steaks In Korean Marinade
All you need to serve a quality rib-eye is a pat of butter and a healthy appetite, especially when you use a killer marinade like this one. The Korean soy-based blend is a bit sweet, a bit spicy, and deliciously toasty thanks to a touch of sesame oil.

The key to this luscious lemon cake? Zest and juice in the cake and the icing for a double dose of citrus. Great option for those who don't usually go for heavier desserts.

Kamikaze
Kamikazes are dangerously drinkable vodka shots with a bit of a pucker from lime juice and sweet and sour. Definitely don't want to be piloting anything after a few of these.

Asian Chicken
Not all good Asian cooking needs to be done in a wok. Give your wrist a rest from all the tossing and stir-frying and let the crockpot do the work for you. Fresh ginger and orange peel bring a lovely aromatic flavor to the chicken, and crunchy cashews on top add a great textural element.

Mediterranean Cauliflower
Cauliflower is such an easy veggie to saute up into a side dish at a moment's notice, especially with the convenience of frozen florets. Adding in a chopped handful oil-packed, sun-dried tomatoes gives the side dish a Mediterranean flair and keeps it light.

Green Star
This bright cocktail is as unique as it is eye-catching. Pineapple and rum kick it off with a tropical vibe, but topping it with tonic water brings a whole new twist to the island flavor.
|
|
|
Spicy Pork Steaks
It's amazing what a simple mixture of everyday spices can do. Pork chops can easily be substituted for the pork steaks. You might want to make up a double batch of the spice rub to keep on hand. Try it on steaks or chicken too!

Mexican Shrimp Cocktail
Forget what you know about shrimp cocktail, because this Mexican variation just changed the game. It's halfway between spicy cocktail sauce and citrusy ceviche, so the lime-marinated shrimp are in the sauce itself. Grab some tortilla chips and get scooping.

Orange Brandy
This recipe makes a light orange-infused liqueur that is perfect for sipping or using in other recipes. You don't need expensive cognac or brandy but use a decent quality (especially if you are drinking it straight). Glycerine can usually be found with health foods and vitamins in larger grocery stores (make sure you are buying food-grade glycerine). If you can't find glycerine you can use light corn syrup.

Blueberry Rum
While we don't want to call this cocktail a health drink, it sure is packed with good stuff! Blueberries are considered antioxidants and have lots of other nutritional value. You can also make your own blueberry juice by crushing 1/2 pound of fresh blueberries and straining the juice through a fine mesh sieve. This recipe works well with other fruit juices as well.
