Anyone who likes to cook will tell you that part of the fun of cooking is sharing good recipes. At TerisKitchen.com, you will find hundreds of tried-and-true recipes from my family and personal collection, plus several hundred shared recipes submitted by contributors. In addition to the recipes, there are menus for every day and special occasions, cooking tips, resources and much more. On this page, I will post featured menus and collections, as well as new content and revisions to the site as they occur.

I hope you will enjoy what I have to offer.
Father's Day is a time to thank our fathers for all the special things they do. My father's favorite way to celebrate his day was with good food. In his honor, I created a menu that includes some of his favorites and requires minimal time and effort to prepare. The first course is steamed clams with browned butter. The main dish I chose was one of Dad's favorites, grilled rib eye steak. The side dishes are grilled potatoes, roasted squash and a classic Caesar salad. I complete the meal with my mother's berry crumb pie, another of my father's favorites. For alternate choices, there are links to similar or related dishes on each of the individual recipe pages. I hope you and your father enjoy.
I love to grill, whether for a gathering of friends and family or just for everyday cooking because it is easy, generally healthy, usually requires less clean-up and tastes so good. This is a collection of my favorite recipes for the grill, including meats, poultry, seafood and vegetables, as well as some shared recipes submitted by contributors. Although I do most of my outdoor cooking during the summer, there are other times of the year when I just cannot resist. For convenience, I use the gas grill most often, but I also have a kettle grill for those times when I want that extra smoky flavor. When deciding what to cook on the grill, use your imagination. If you have a grill with a lid, you can use it just like an oven. The grills today can do just about anything that can be done indoors. So, have fun, experiment with your own ideas, and enjoy. If you do not have access to an outdoor grill or if the weather does not cooperate with your plans, any of the recipes posted can be made indoors with a grill pan, broiler or, in some cases, in the oven.
