The asparagus season is short and sweet, so I always try to find ways to make those delectable green spears last as long as possible.

Now that it is summer, and barbecue season is officially underway, my fiancé and I find ourselves barbecuing dinner at least twice per week. As a result, I finally decided it was time to experiment with my own homemade barbecue sauce...

Marmalade, typically made with oranges, gets an extra zing when made with Meyer lemons. This recipe makes a wonderful sweet and tart accompaniment for toast or croissants, and it can also be used as a glaze for broiled meats or seafood...

The recipe is very simple. You can use either canned or presoaked/boiled chickpeas, and you can vary the amounts of garlic and spices to suit your tastes. Once you get the basic recipe down, you can even add more delicious components.
