This Carolina Mustard Sauce is a rich, sweet and tangy sauce that is perfect for your favorite ribs, pulled pork or chicken. Can you imagine it as a dipping sauce for fried chicken? I can! It has a deep golden color and a mild mustard flavor. It’s so good that I know you’ll be making
Grilled Chicken Shawarma
Hi all! I’m back from a lot of traveling. A lot… Trips to Chicago, Las Vegas and then 3 weeks on another road trip. The trip took us to the far reaches of the Pacific Northwest and back. The road trip was an amazing adventure which I will be posting about over the next few
Authentic Homemade Hummus
Truth be told, I am not a big fan of hummus. When I go to a party, it’s usually the food that I skip because the store-bought kind always seems gritty and tastes like tin to me. It’s just icky. This week, I catered a party and the clients wanted hummus. I was on a
Homemade Chicken Stock
I started making my own chicken stock when I looked at the ingredient list on a box of chicken stock. Not only did I almost fall over reading how much salt was included per serving but I was flabbergasted to learn that flour is added to the mix. Chicken stock should be gluten-free, however, the store-bought varieties are
Fresh Peach Nectar
Ah, summertime! What screams summer more than a ripe, fresh, juicy peach? Not much in my book, that’s for sure. Anyhoo, this week I picked up my yearly flat of peaches from Palisade, Colorado. Did you know that Colorado’s main fruit crops are peaches and apples? The warm days and cool nights bring out the
Italian Easter Pie
So while I was thinking of what to make for Easter this year, I decided to do a little research and see what people in other countries make for the holiday dinner. Well, I hate to say this but here in the good Ol’ USA, we are boring. A baked Ham is so yesterday especially when
Corned Beef and Cabbage Sandwich
Happy day after St. Patricks Day to everyone. I hope the Irish flu isn’t affecting you today! 🙂 If it is, this Corned Beef and Cabbage Sandwich will be the perfect cure! Haha! This past week, I was in serious “I need to have a Reuben” mode. Maybe because I have been eating corned beef
Jazzed Up Homemade Cranberry Sauce
I’m not sure what is worse! This year that flew by so quick or that ridiculously bad Bronco’s game that I just listened to (I couldn’t watch it was so bad). I’ll tell ya, I have seen better and more exciting high school games. Good thing I took an hour to take the dogs to
Homemade Teriyaki Sauce
Yikes! Have you ever read the ingredient list for that bottle of teriyaki sauce that’s in your refrigerator? I did and immediately threw it out! Besides being a salt bomb of non distinct flavor, it’s packed with high fructose corn syrup and a chemical list too long list, yet alone pronounce. Good news though. Making
Fireball Whiskey Sauce
I’m not sure where I come up with this stuff. Especially a sauce made with whiskey and let alone cinnamon flavored whisky. Heck, I don’t even drink whiskey, which is a good thing…. don’t ask, HA! Anyway, Thursday morning I woke up and was thinking about what to make for my post this week and
