The fresh summer flavors of tomatoes and corn are delightfully highlighted in this simple chili recipe, which forgoes the heavy flavors of traditional chili seasonings. This recipe is so quick and easy to prepare, you can enjoy it any night of the week. We are using steak with a three-bean blend, but this recipe is also fantastic if you substitute black beans combined with chicken or even mahimahi. The key to great flavor is great tomatoes. Splurge on very sweet heirloom tomatoes with complex flavors. Pink Brandywine or Cherokee Purple are fantastic choices. < less

While thinking up various finger food recipes for our Super Bowl menu I was struck with inspiration... Pacific Rim tacos, and then, why not use my favorite grilled teriyaki salmon? The grilled pineapple salsa with daikon radish and bok choy is a wonderful compliment of texture and flavor for the salmon. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. You can prepare these tacos during half-time and be done in time to serve them before the second-half kickoff if you follow these tips: Prepare the teriyaki glaze, grate the daikon, slice the pineapples and chop the bok choy before your guests arrive. Cover tightly and refrigerate. Slip away during a commercial break during the second quarter to light the grill, prepping for direct grilling at about 500 degrees when half-time begins. < less
