This Beef Kafta Recipe turns a classic Lebanese dish into something possible at home on a weeknight. The succulent grilled meat kabobs are flavored with garlic, onions and lots of dried herbs and spices. Serve simply with yogurt dipping sauce, or bowl-style for a larger meal.

“Great kafta and yogurt sauce recipes! I made [this] with ground chicken, and it was really delicious, definitely a keeper! I doubled the recipe, which was a good decision because we had enough for lunches plus a container to freeze and enjoy later on.”

—Michele

If you’ve seen the term “kafta” or “kofta” on a Lebanese restaurant menu and have been unsure of what it might be or if you’d like it, this post is for you!

To quickly explain, this dish is a mixture of ground beef and/or lamb, mixed with onion and spices, formed into a patty, log or meatball, and then grilled.

Even if this is your first time hearing this term, I’m here to convince you that this dish is a great make-at-home weeknight dinner with huge flavor!

It can be made with your choice of ground meat, it comes together in about 30 minutes, and you can serve it on its own with side dishes of your choice, or bowl-style with rice, a fresh salad, and pita bread.

With premium ingredients and special touches like homemade pickled onions and feta dressing, this Steak Salad is like a high-end steakhouse salad right at home.

Steak Salad Recipe

Everybody in my family loves a really hearty salad with lots of delicious ingredients for dinner. We take our dinner salads seriously! They have to be enticing enough that we can’t wait to sit down at the table, and filling enough so we’re not snacking all evening.

This simple but gourmet-tasting steak salad recipe is one that’s on our menu time and time again, especially during grilling season. With special touches like seasoning the tomatoes separately, homemade quick pickled red onions and homemade dressing, it feels really special even though it’s not a lot of work.

And I’m sharing my little steak salad secret today – I use basil as a salad green. As in, I put so much basil in my salad that you might mistake it for spinach on first glance (and there is also spinach going on here). It sounds odd, but it adds such a burst of bright flavor that pairs so well with the rich steak and avocado. Try it and I hope you’ll love it, too.

This Chicken Kabob Recipe isn’t the one your dad made growing up. Tender chicken and veggies are brushed with a sticky mango curry sauce for an Indian-inspired weeknight dinner.

All the classic ingredients are still here – chicken, peppers, onion. But this recipe is so much more.

No need to waste prep time with a marinade, because taking just a couple of minutes to make a sweet, savory, sticky mango curry sauce that clings to every bit of chicken and veggie will have everybody raving about these skewers.

This Shawarma Chicken is a Detroit classic!

“Such a great recipe and easy to adapt to your own heat level. The chicken is so, so good! If you don’t think you like chicken thighs, this is the recipe for you.”

—Sara

I’ve introduced you to many classic Detroit foods, including Detroit style pizza and corned beef egg rolls. And thanks to a large Middle Eastern population, Detroit is also famous for our chicken shawarma!

It’s sold everywhere from ballparks to gas stations, with my favorite being from a restaurant called Bucharest Grill. Metro Detroiters eat this dish at tailgates, pub crawls, gatherings, and at home. Today, I am sharing my homemade version of this irresistible wrap sandwich.

While it may look like a long list of ingredients, it’s very fast to put together. In fact, you can make the chicken shawarma marinade and the sauce for the wraps at the same time. I’ll also offer shortcut ideas to make it even easier for a busy weeknight.

Use this expert guide to learn how to make Pizza on the Grill. You don’t need a special oven or fancy equipment, and you’ll be a pro in no time!

Pizza On The Grill

My family and I consider grilled pizza to be one of life’s great pleasures. We’ve been making it for 15+ years, and have even given our friends mini classes on how to do it.

It’s one of those things where it seems daunting, but once you get started, you realize how truly do-able it is.

You don’t need any fancy equipment. No special pizza oven, and you don’t even need one of those gigantic pizza peels (those LOOK cool, but we have no place to store something like that, and it’s not necessary anyway).

Read on to learn everything we know about how to grill pizza perfectly. You’ll be a pro at this yourself in no time. Then you have to promise to teach your friends!

Stay cool with a Summer Salad

As the temperature rises, pretty much all I want to eat for dinner is a cold, crisp salad. I’ve tried many different combinations of ingredients over the years, but this one feels the best for June and July, when strawberries and blueberries are at their best.

The combination of the juicy berries, super creamy goat cheese, crunchy pecans, savory grilled chicken and homemade raspberry vinaigrette is light enough to make it appealing on a hot day, but still filling enough that you won’t feel snacky later on.

And if your family is like mine and doesn’t get through “salad night” without some sort of bread, don’t miss the ricotta toast – crunchy grilled bread topped with ricotta cheese, more of those amazing strawberries, and a drizzle of honey.

This Pork Tenderloin Tacos with pineapple salsa recipe uses smart ingredient choices to make a restaurant-style dish easy enough for a weeknight or casual gathering.

Pork Tenderloin Tacos

If you’ve ever enjoyed an al pastor taco and love that succulent combination of pork marinated in pineapple, you’ve come to the right place.

This isn’t a strictly authentic Mexican recipe, but my interpretation of it using grilled pork tenderloin, that’s easy enough for a weeknight or a casual weekend gathering.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin is something that’s on my family’s dinner menu at least once a week, all summer long, every summer. I’ve grilled pork tenderloin hundreds of times, and turning it into tacos is such a great way to serve it.

Grab your grilling tongs and let’s make these pork and pineapple tacos topped with all the good things like avocado and cheese!
