A Life in Food by real-life Chef Cheryl Bennett
Miso eggplant is a delicious grilled side dish. The flavors in the sauce are an obvious match made in heaven and the Japanese eggplant makes a perfect canvas to soak them up.
This side is perfect for entertaining, as it is easy to make a big platter in no time. It is a simple dish, but has amazing flavor.

…Grilled cajun shrimp skewers are a quick and easy dinner with almost no clean up! Made with Idaho® cajun potato wedges and corn on the cob, these skewers are finished with a cajun garlic butter sauce.
I wanted to create flavors similar to a shrimp boil on the grill. Not exactly the same, but similar. If you wanted to add sausage to your skewers (which would be delicious), that would get you a little closer.
There is just a bit of heat (omit cayenne if you don’t like spicy) in these skewers. The flavors of the cajun shrimp, potatoes and corn together are absolutely delicious.
Using the leftover grilled potato wedges, you can also make vegan vegetable cakes for another side dish with cajun seasoning.

…This Bourbon Blueberry BBQ sauce will soon be your go-to for ribs. The sweet jamminess of the blueberries, the smokiness of the bourbon and the heat from the peppers come together to make this bbq sauce out of this world. Blueberries and bourbon, like my blueberry bourbon jam recipe, are a match made in heaven.
Bourbon BBQ sauce with the sweetness of blueberries pairs well with any kind of pork, especially ribs. It also goes really well with chicken thighs.
