Recipes

Up for some home cookin’?  Here’s the jumping off page for those of you brave enough to try cooking what we eat for yourself.  Check back on a regular basis for updates; as we cook it, we’ll post the directions.

Appetizers (for those long cooks) Not that they are required to whet your guests appetite, but why not give them something to eat while they are waiting for the main course? MOINK Balls – Not pork nor beef, but both! Bacon-wrapped Stuffed Mini Peppers – Also known as Not-ABTs.

Pork (the other white meat) Mmm… Bacon!  And ribs, chops, butts, hams, sausage, and tenderloins.  Makes me hungry just sitting here typing… Pork tenderloin – truly the other white meat Baby Back Ribs – now that’s just good eatin’ Pork Butts – I’m not pulling your leg, I’m pulling the pork Pork Chops – Thick and juicy, not the shoe-leather variety

Beef (moo…) It’s what’s for dinner… If it came from a cow, find out how we cook it here. Teriyaki Strips – something fun to do to a tri-tip roast.

Fowl (things with wings) Fowl, as in things with wings (like chicken, turkey, game hens, duck, ostrich, etc.).  Not foul as in dropped in the coals, outside burnt to a crisp, inside barely heated, covered with cheap supermarket sauce, and thrown on the picnic table as if it was a gift from the gods.  Oh how I hate it when the amateurs come out in the summer… Cornish Game Hens – also known as baby chickens. Pulled Chicken – eat it plain or dress it up.

Seafood (those things that swim in the water) Fowl, as in things with wings (like chicken, turkey, game hens, duck, ostrich, etc.).  Not foul as in dropped in the coals, outside burnt to a crisp, inside barely heated, covered with cheap supermarket sauce, and thrown on the picnic table as if it was a gift from the gods.  Oh how I hate it when the amateurs come out in the summer… Mahi-mahi with Lemon Slices – Quick, easy, and no need for tartar sauce… Mahi-mahi with Peach-pineapple Salsa – A nice fruity summer meal. Grilled Cod – A bit of a Jamaican bite here… Cajun Style Seared Ahi Tuna – For those that like their fish rare.

Meat (an assortment of not-vegetables that make other noises) If it doesn’t oink, moo, fly, or swim in the ocean, isn’t on a vegetarian menu, but ends up on my grill, this is where it will be found. Roast Lamb – that’s ok, that’s just my daaaahhhd… cooking.

Carbs (taters, veggies, and other things not meat) Taters, corn, peppers, and all those other things-not-meat that go on the grill.  Who knew asparagus could be so good? Trashbag Potatoes – Everybody’s favorite. OPM in foil – Onions, Peppers, and Mushrooms, oh my… Grilled Asparagus – Once you eat it this way, you’ll never boil it again. BBQ Beans Vegetarian Style – For those Fridays in Lent… BBQ Beans Smoker Style – Made extra good by drippings from your favorite meat. Sweet Potato Grill Fries – Nice change of pace from regular potatoes. Cajun Grill Fries – Grilled, spicy, and a nice change of pace.

Fixin’s (all that other stuff that you gotta have) You can have BBQ without this stuff, but why would you? Basic Rib Rub – it’s not just for babybacks anymore… Peach-Pineapple Salsa – dress up your fish with some fresh fruit goodness Cabbage Slaw – for pulled pork sandwiches or as a side dish with just about anything Easy Pizza Sauce – why buy something you don’t like when you can make something you do like?

Desserts (like Carbs, but sweeter) Who says you can’t make dessert on the grill or in the smoker?  Obviously those who haven’t tried it, as there are some real tasty meal-ends that can be cooked up out-of-doors… Bananas from the coals – Now that is some good eatin’! Grilled Pineapple – With or without ice cream, pineapple slices are made for the grill. Baked Apple Slices – It’s like pie without all that crust… Brandied Pears – The alcohol burns off and leaves a tasty treat that even the teetotalers like.

Leftovers (technically not BBQ, but what to do afterwards) 10 pounds of pulled pork that didn’t get eaten or given away? No problem… Leftover Tacos – Pork, chicken, beef, or whatever you got… BBQ Beef Sandwich – a no-brainer, makes you wonder why a recipe is needed. Breakfast Fatty – nothing better than to start the morning with a raised cholesterol level. Pulled Pork Pasta – bet you didn’t see this one coming.
