I love me some garlic bread, don’t you? It’s the perfect accompaniment to practically any food, and now, we’re going to bring it into grilling season. Try pairing it with grilled chicken, grilled veggies, and, well – anything!


The best part? You can grill the heck out of this garlic bread, and all it’s going to do is enhance the flavor. So, here’s a fun and unique take on my tasty pick of the week:

Grilled Garlic Bread
French bread (I like to use multigrain, as the seeds toast nicely and add a lot of flavor)
Olive oil
Garlic cloves, peeled, rough ends discarded

Slice the bread to desired thickness, brush both sides with olive oil, and place on a medium-high heat grill. If you’re a sad, grill-less apartment dweller (like yours truly), a frying pan will do the trick. Turn over once, and then when the bread is crispy and golden brown on both sides, remove from grill and let cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, take the garlic clove (cut off end down), and rub it against the toasted bread. It may not look like much garlic is on there, but trust me, it’s strong!

Summertime is almost here, and that, to me, means it’s almost barbeque time (I say almost because there’s still an obscene amount of snow on the ground). What’s your favourite food to grill up? Aside from skewers, I’d say my favourite thing to grill is corn. There are many different ways of doing this, usually in the husk, but I like to cook it so the kernels themselves get nicely toasted. The first time I saw corn being cooked this way was on a beach in Krabi, Thailand, by an amazingly quick woman, and I've haven't looked back since...

What You Need
Ears of corn, husks and strings removed (1 ear per person)
Butter (about 1 tsp per ear)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat barbeque to medium-high heat. Place prepared corn on the grill, buttering with a silicone brush, turning, and then buttering, constantly until corn is slightly blackened. Remove from grill, season with salt and pepper.

Oh my gravy, do I love grilling. It's almost as though it's in my blood. I never really read recipes or saw anyone else do it, it just happened one day. The marinating, the spice rubs, the smoking and char marks, the smoky smell and lustful sizzling sound. It's just been something I've been in love with since I can remember. When it comes to grilling, I rule this house. As such, I am always open to new grilling ideas and it's probably why I consider Rob Rainford of Food Network Canada fame, a personal hero. This week, I got a new grilling idea in my inbox from iVillage: Grilled Balsamic Chicken. It's amazingly simple and anything with balsamic vinegar and a grill is worth proposing to, so go check it out: Grilled Balsamic Chicken.
