Rib chops can be pricey. This same preparation works well on lamb loin chops, too.
Grilled Kielbasa Tacos
Make sure to cut the onions and peppers into big pieces so that they don’t fall through the grill grates.
Green Olive Tapenade
Cerignola and Castelvetrano olives are big, briny, meaty, and sweet. If unavailable, use other types, or simplify with just one.
Whole Corn on the Grill
How to choose corn: Look for tight, squeaky, green husks and rows of kernels that feel taut and full when you run your hands over the cobs.
Grilled Clam Toasts with Lemon and Green Olives
Italian-food purists might balk at the combination of clams and Parm, but we swear it’s delicious.

Roasting the strawberries intensifies their sweetness.
Rhubarb-Fennel Gin Cocktail
If it grows together, it goes together: Sweet and sour from the rhubarb and herbaceous from the fennel, this drink is pure harmony.

The sugar in the dry spice mix will help these steaks take on color quickly, so keep a close eye on them.
Tex-Mex Breakfast Waffle Nachos
It’s breakfast! It’s brunch! It’s a snack! It’s a glorious mess. And in case you’re wondering, the waffles are pretty amazing just on their own.
Queso Fundido
If you can find Chihuahua cheese for this, use it! If not, Monterey Jack can be subbed. Not the same, but still crazy good!
Spiked Grasshopper Milkshake
For a version you can serve right away, omit the liqueurs, which will eliminate the need to refreeze. You will have more cookies than you need, but they’re delicious on their own.
