Do you pour it straight from the bottle, or do you mix your own? My friend Dan, part of our infamous Grill Team, marinates his steak tips in Wishbone Robusto Italian salad dressing. They’re terrific. Me? I tend to use spice rubs on the meat and then add […]

Black olive paste can be used to season so many things, especially Greek and Middle Eastern dishes. It’s also great on crackers, if a bit high in sodium ;-)
This is a condiment that I would make on my once a week food preparation day so that it’s ready for dishes like the lamb that I’m […]

When you use a rub like this on your steak, it’s best if you apply it in the morning and let it sit all day in the fridge. This recipe makes enough rub to do 1 to 2 pounds of flank steak. The easiest way to do the prep is to work the rub into […]

I have now had the opportunity to try several of Wish-Bone’s new Bountifuls salad dressings. There are four flavors: Tuscan Romano Basil, Hearty Italian, Berry Delight, and Simply Santa Fe.
