This prime rib came out beautifully and the rub created a nice aromatic crust. No photoshopping on this photo, it just came out that good! 🙂
Just because it’s cold outside doesn’t mean you aren’t using your grill, does it? This is the perfect time to use your grill- because it’s your chance to shine with flavorful, smoky dishes off the grill that will make the dishes your friends are serving this time of year just seem plain boring. So look to your grill to knock the socks off your guests this year for the holidays. Below are some of my favorite recipe pairings for an elegant Meal On The Grill
that shows your friends you’re a culinary genius. Oh, and if you leave the dessert out, they’re low carb too!! It’s nice to eat a meal around the holidays that won’t leave you feeling guilty!
Menu 1: Beef
Standing Rib Roast (Prime Rib) on the Grill
Grilled Blue Cheese and Herb Stuffed Tomatoes
No Carb Mashed Potatoes (you’ll never know the difference) –
(fyi this recipe is from Melissa Joulwan’s cookbook “Well Fed”
which is awesome!)
Menu 2: Turkey
Save space in your oven this year- make your turkey on the grill!
Patio Daddio’s Sweet n’ Sassy BBQ Almonds
Lemon Herb Butter Spatchcocked Chicken
Cranberry Orange Bread Pudding
Menu 3: Pork
This spice rub makes you feel like you’re on a little mini-vacation to the islands!
(okay, with these you will not be totally low carb as I mentioned above, but sweet potatoes are a carb that is loaded with stuff that is good for you)
Grilled Fruit and Pound Cake (scroll through the bottom of this post)
Menu 4: Fish
Salmon, paired with a cherry glaze- is packed in omega-3s and antioxidants, but it tastes so fantastic you’ll forget it’s good for you!
Proscuitto Sage Butter Brussel Sprouts
Its around the Holidays that I wish I were a year round griller. It’s just so darn icy cold out here. Just wanted to stop in and wish you a very Merry Christmas Robyn. Hugs.
