28 294 Servings • Prep: 10–15 min. • Grill: 18–30 min. • Rest: 10 min. 4 Servings • Prep: 15–20 min. • Cool: 10–15 min. • Grill: min.
BLACKENED SALMON WITH GRILLED MAPLE BUTTERNUT SQUASH
GRILLED CLAMS WITH SPINACH AND CELERY
1½ pounds wild salmon fillet or Arctic char, skin on
1 large butternut squash, washed
1½ teaspoon salt
1½ tablespoon maple syrup
Cooking spray as needed
20–24 clams, shucked and chopped (shells reserved)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup baby spinach
½ cup finely diced red bell pepper
¼ cup peeled and finely diced celery
2 slices turkey bacon, crisped and finely diced
½ cup whole-wheat bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
Cedar planks, soaked in water or wine (optional) as needed
1 lemon, wedged
BLACKENED SEASONING
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1½ tablespoons canola oil (so salmon does not
stick to grill)
Serve this tasty dish with a vegetable and salad.
You can always eat these clams
as an appetizer instead of an
entrée. If you keep the dish as an
entrée, then make it a complete
meal with a starch or vegetable.
Sauté the garlic in the oil until it starts to
brown. Add the baby spinach, peppers, celery,
and bacon, and cook until the spinach wilts and
most of the excess liquid evaporates. Transfer
the mixture to a bowl to cool for 10–15 minutes.
Add the bread crumbs to the bowl; adjust
the seasoning; add the raw chopped clams; and
mix one last time.
Preheat grill to high. Divide the stuffing
among the reserved clamshells. Place wood
planks on the grill and then place the stuffed
clamshells on top of the planks. Cover the grill;
cook until the clam filling is fully cooked or to
your desired doneness; and serve with
lemon wedges. 5
Preheat grill to medium high. Peel the squash, and cut off the top
and bottom. Slice in half lengthwise; scoop out pulp and seeds;
and discard. (Keep the seeds, and roast them for a snack!) Slice
the squash into long slices from top to bottom about 1 inch thick;
season with salt; spray with cooking spray; place on the grill; and grill each side for 5–10 minutes or until fork
tender. Take the squash off the grill; cut it into ½-inch cubes; and drizzle it with maple syrup.
Combine and mix all of the ingredients for the blackened rub in a small bowl. Brush the salmon with 1
tablespoon of oil, and rub the entire salmon filet with the blackened seasoning. Before putting the salmon on
the grill, brush the grill grates with the remaining oil. Place the salmon on the grill, skin side down.
Close the grill (so it acts like an oven for even cooking); grill for 4–5 minutes; then gently turn the salmon
over and grill for another 4¬–5 minutes. Take the salmon off the grill, and set it aside to rest for 10 minutes. If
the salmon seems slightly raw in the center, don’t worry; it will continue to cook while resting.
Remove the skin from the salmon before serving it with lemon slices. 5

What can you expect on this adventure? As I spoke
with scores of backyard homesteaders, consistent themes
popped up. Most are pleased to achieve a degree of
self-suffi ciency in growing their produce, unhampered
with doubts about what went into the food they put on
their tables. They’re glad to fi nd ways to be kinder to
mother earth, sustaining their food supply with minimal
dependence on petroleum products, building up the soil
as they take from it. Most love the honest toil involved
in a farmstead, away from the fl ickering screen of a
computer. Tilling the soil and turning compost strikes
them as much more sensible exercise than a trip to the
gym. They enjoy the friends they make along the way,
especially the old hands whose passion for farming is so
contagious. Lastly, they’re fascinated by animals and love
the adventure of partnering with other creatures.
10
And of course, they love engaging with the mystery
that is life itself. Even a simple 4 × 8-foot garden plot
can be loaded with discovery—the wonder of tiny pea
sprouts emerging from the soil, the momentous presence
of a gigantic zucchini lurking under a plant’s canopy.
(See pages 12–13 for ideas for homestead plans.) Animals
provide even more wonder. My friend Ernie Schmidt,
a veteran backyard farmer, recalls listening to a hive of
happy bees on summer evenings. “It is just uncanny,”
he says. “They sound like the wind in a forest canopy.
There is something magical about that noise.”
And maybe that is the greatest allure—being part
of the magic. Life, rather than being packaged in plastic
wrap, is there in all its rich variety, surprise, and gener-
osity. Right in your own backyard.

Able Table // The Cook-N-Dine table (right) is an outdoor cooking
center and dining table in one. Made of food-grade stainless steel, the
hot cooking center lowers slightly to form a shallow pit while the outer
eating area stays comfortably cool to the touch. And even though food
is in direct contact with the heat source, no heat or energy loss occurs.
When it’s turned off , the cook surface reverts to fl at, making it even with
the rest of the table. No gas, charcoal, or any other fuel is needed—just a
grounded power outlet. Cook-N-Dine, www.cook-n-dine-usa.com.

freestanding deck with spa and fire pit
A low-to-the-ground deck usually
leaves no room for a beam under the
joists, so take the time to accurately
lay out the many footings that directly
support the joists. If local codes allow,
dig your footing holes, position the
posts, and build the framing before
you pour the concrete.
supporting a spa with washed sandParish prefers the technique that fol-
lows, but check with your building
department before you try it. Local
codes may require you to pour a con-
crete foundation.
After you’ve completed the fram-
ing, but before you lay the decking, dig
a hole for the spa. In this case, the top
of the 36-inch-deep spa sits 21 inches
above grade. The hole should allow
about a foot of clearance below the
bottom of the spa, so dig the hole ap-
proximately 27 inches deep—not a big
job.
Tamp the soil at the bottom of the
hole; then shovel in and level a foot or
so of sand. Set temporary 2x6 blocks
on top of the framing to index the fu-
ture thickness of the decking, and set
the spa on top of them, resting its lip
directly on the blocks. Shovel sand
into the hole until it fully supports the
spa.
now comes the interesting part of
the job. Fill the spa halfway with water.
Using a garden hose, soak the sand
fully to compact it. Add more sand,
and then soak it again if necessary.
The moisture-compacted sand will
form a firm base that will support the
spa for decades.
fire pitUnless you have a fair amount of ma-
sonry experience, you’d do well to hire
a professional mason to build the pit.
An octagon poses a serious challenge
to the beginner. To start, frame a
square hole large enough so that the
firebricks will not directly touch the
wood. If possible, build the pit before
you lay the decking; this work can eas-
ily scratch the wood.
At the bottom, excavate a founda-
tion hole if necessary, so the fire pit
ends up about 18 inches deep. (The
foundation should measure 3 to 4
inches in depth.) Pour a steel-reinforced
concrete pad that measures a few
inches larger than the pit’s diameter.
From the foundation, lay firebricks in
an octagonal shape to a height of 4 to
6 inches above the decking surface.
Cover the firebrick with natural brick,
making the total structure about 8
inches higher than the decking.

B E S T S I G N A T U R E B A T H S
T - in Springfi eld, Massachusetts,
had been slowly restored over the years, and it was now the
bath’s turn for a modern update. Interstate Custom Kitchen
& Bath, Inc., gutted the room to the studs and completely
reframed the shower and tub areas.
Because of the hip roof, the room’s confi guration
presented a small challenge when the project was started.
However, special planning and custom cabinetry solved
the problem. Th e dark wood used for the cabinets was the
perfect complement to the rest of the home.
Th e homeowners also wanted to keep the glass-block
window, which had previously been boarded up and,
therefore, did not allow natural illumination to enter the
space. Th e designer also removed a closet, which opened
up the room and allowed for the addition of the walk-in
shower. Th e radiator was also removed and replaced with
an alternative warming device: radiant
heating, which was installed under the
fl oors.
Th e designer took future maintenance
needs into consideration as well and
created access to the whirlpool mechanics
with a removable panel. A framed mirror
adds to the elegance of the bath, as does
the lovely granite whirlpool tub deck.
Now this formerly outdated space has the
contemporary renovation it deserved. «

Decks Versus Patios
Wood Decks
• Require regular maintenance
• Dry faster after a rainstorm
• More comfortable to stand on for long periods
• Suitable for outdoor kitchens with portable
grills and lightweight fixtures
• Inexpensive if you choose pressure-treated
decking
• Easier to raise off grade (allows for second-
story outdoor kitchens)
• Great design and style flexibility
• Not fireproof
• Will not last as long as stone or concrete
Masonry Patios
• Require little maintenance
• Better suited to heavy appliances and masonry
grill islands
• Inexpensive if you choose concrete
• Expensive if you choose stone
• Not suitable for outdoor kitchens raised more
than a few feet off grade
• Limited style choices
• Fireproof
• Extremely durable
Wood Decks
If you want wood decking for your outdoor kitchen and
dining area, you’ve got three choices: pressure-treated
(PT) wood (the most common), untreated woods that you
must treat yourself, and woods that are naturally resistant
to insects and decay. Pressure-treated wood, typically
made from pine, hemlock, and fir (with southern pine and
Douglas fir being the most common species) is a practical,
inexpensive, and durable choice for flooring. It will require
a yearly cleaning and sealing to keep it looking good,
however. Skip a year or two and you may have to contend
with warping, checking, and splintering.
PT wood is no longer plagued by concerns about toxi-
city. Today’s PT lumber processors have replaced arsenic
with copper compounds, such as alkaline copper quater-
nary (ACQ types B and D) and copper azole (CA-B). The
new formulations pose no known threat to humans but
may affect marine life. However, copper compounds are
highly corrosive to other metals, so hot-dipped galva-
nized or stainless-steel fasteners are recommended. Steel-
framing hardware, such as joist hangers, must also be
shielded from contact with ACQ- and CA-treated wood,
typically with a self-adhering membrane. PT wood color
ranges from dark greenish-brown to light brown, and it
can be stained or painted once it’s dry.
Untreated woods, such as fir, pine, and new-growth
cedar, should be treated with a preservative and require

Masonry surfaces,
such as concrete,
above, complement
outdoor kitchens built
with masonry counters
and countertops.
Stone floors, right,
maintain a rustic look
for your outdoor
kitchen and are less
likely to stain or, if they
do, to show stains.
