Wood grilled Romaine lettuce- Scrumptious!
It’s time to bring your vegetables into grilling season! Nothing beats the smell of fresh vegetables roasting over wood even on an LP/gas grill. Any time of the year works fine for this technique to get a great char wood flavor in your seasonal or store-bought fresh vegetables.
All you’ll need for this easy cooking experience is an LP or gas grill – any brand or size will do, double filet wood chunks from SmokinLicious®, and a head or two of fresh Romaine lettuce!

Our finished Cauliflower rice with Tomato we fire roasted with just a chimney starter!
#cauliflowerrice
With my special chimney starter cooking technique, which you can view in a separate posting, a fresh head of cauliflower was wood fired for a charry flavor. Now, it’s time to take this fabulous flavor and marry it to tomato and spice in a cauliflower rice dish that can be consumed as a main course or a fabulous side dish. A simple recipe that’s full a flavor that you’ll want to enjoy again and again. Plus, you’ll enjoy the added benefits of this super nutritious food due to its low saturated fat and cholesterol and high vitamin and mineral daily needs.

We served our Best Gingerbread from the Grill as a dessert! The grilled smoky flavor was too Tasty for a Gingerbread house!
Gingerbread is one of those terms that are generic in the definition for a broad category, in this case, something made from ginger, cinnamon, clove, and a sweetener like molasses and sugar. Although “bread” is in the name it can produce great cakes, cookies, bars, and of course, bread.
One of the reasons gingerbread is ideal for cooking on the grill is because it contains bold flavors of spices and molasses. I’ll be taking a traditional recipe for gingerbread and introducing the cooking to the grill that I’m equipping with wood chunks for a unique wood flavoring.
You’re going to love the dense, flavorful result that is the perfect recipe to keep on hand for those unexpected and expected guests.

Our Rich Pumpkin Butter has a slight hint of smokiness!
I’ve been pumpkin picking! I found a sweet pumpkin that will be perfect for making a pumpkin butter that will have a wood flavoring due to my grill roasting method on the gas grill. When you make pumpkin butter, it’s crucial that you select a variety of pumpkin that is designed to be cooked. My choice was a variety of “cow” pumpkin, known for its super sweet flesh and great creaminess for cooking.

Our winter squash sliced and seasoned with Cumin and ready for the grill!
Full of color, flavor and packed with nutrients, winter squash makes for exceptional seasonal dishes, whether soups, casseroles, or desserts. Harvested in the approaching Fall, they are available all winter long due to their firm shells. With varieties such as sugar pumpkins, acorn squash, butternut squash, spaghetti squash, buttercup, and red kuri, sweetness level is always present.
Naturally low in fat and calories, yet rich in vitamins A, B6, C, and E, you can’t go wrong with any variety you select.
Today, I’ve elected to make cumin squash on the grill using confetti squash, so called due to the beautiful multi-skin coloring. Note, you may substitute any rounded winter squash available near you for this recipe.

The finished- WOOD GRILLED VERSION OF CHEF WATERS’ GOAT CHEESE SALAD
listen to- A WOOD GRILLED VERSION OF CHEF WATERS’ GOAT CHEESE SALAD
Taking a page from Chef Alice Waters, we are making our version of the baked goat cheese salad by wood baking the goat cheese rounds on the grill using a two-zone cooking method and wood chunks for smoky flavor. Then making garlic crostini for the croutons on the charcoal grill to serve alongside this fabulous salad dish. A recipe that can be a salad course or an entrée on its own, we also give you an easy way to make this into an appetizer. Purchase 12 ounces of quality goat cheese in log form and let’s get grilling.

The classic Chocolate War Cake Baked on the Grill
I’m going to show you how easy it is to cook a cake on the gas grill using wood chunks for added flavor. I simply love how chocolate reacts to smoke vapor and this chocolate recipe of mine is simply outstanding for the grill.
The gas grill was originally intended to provide for a quick cook method but I view this as an extension of the indoor kitchen as the grill really is an oven. I’m going to turn my grill into a wood-burning oven by incorporating a smoker box that I’ve added cherry wood chunks too.

Try our pan cook zucchini on the gas grill with wood chunks for a flavoring twist
It seems like when August rolls around, people start looking for something new to do with all that zucchini that you either have in your own garden or found at the fresh market. I’ve got a one pan dish that is easy to construct with the best part being you can do the entire recipe on your LP/Gas grill.
Grab your prized zucchini and get to the grill and I’ll show you how easy this technique and recipe are for a great meal.

SMOKED STRAWBERRY HAND PIE is a great recipe for fresh or frozen Strawberries. The smokiness will add a special twist
It’s one of my favorite times of year – strawberry picking season! As my area of Western New York State has such a short strawberry season, I literally am consuming strawberries for three weeks straight.
Good thing they are packed with vitamins and minerals like Vitamin C and K, folate, potassium, magnesium, as well as being low in calories and fiber-rich. They sure are great at filling you up which makes you eat less.
This season, I’ve got a trio of recipes all using the smoked strawberries that I’ve done on my charcoal grill. Get yourself a flat of strawberries, follow our easy smoking technique (we do have 3 to choose from that offer various levels of smoke flavor), and prepare to make simple hand pies, perfect for the hot days of summer or frankly anytime you can find strawberries.
