This is a great dip to make with leftover BBQ corn on the cob. It’s also a reason to BBQ the corn! We BBQ our corn in the husk, but if you grill yours directly and get char marks even better. Serve this cold on a hot summer day or warm it in the oven… Continue reading BBQ Corn Dip
Blondies

When I want/need something, I generally think about it for some time, read reviews, and decide if I can live without it or not. Once in a while, that process ends with a yes!

As well, we love… Continue reading South African Curried Lamb Skewers with Apricots (Sosaties)
