Yea, I know we've been layin' it on pretty thick with the chocolate and the pork butt; however, I just had to share this one with you. Confession: I've NEVER made my own BBQ sauce. There are just so many good ones on the market to satisfy my diners, and to be quite truthful, I've never been much of a fan....until now!
My friend, and Chef, Jill Smith gave me this recipe and a whole bunch more to share with you for our Meatless Monday sessions. We're going to head to Asia for the next few weeks. One of the keys to preparing Asian Cuisine is to have all of your ingredients prepped before you start cooking ~ you'll thank me for that tip:)
Let's face it... New Year's resolutions are no match for peanut butter and chocolate--especially the combination! But, if my calculations are correct peanut butter = protein, chocolate = antioxidants, and MINI Homemade Peanut Butter Cups are OK and even healthful for one and all. You know I'm right... : )
I created this salad when I worked as a chef on Charter Yachts in the Caribbean. This is high in fiber, over the top in taste and very easy to make. Would sometimes serve it alongside a gazpacho or all on it's own with a nice baguette. Enjoy!!
I’m one of those people who plan my daily errand run according to right turns and trip time. Yes, it is rather frightening. While keeping that in mind and the fact that I basically cook for a living, one would assume that prepping and packing up the ingredients for a Minestrone soup to take and make for a friend would be a breeze. Well, we all know what happens we assume. This is a good one!
OK kids, here's another one I'm making up on the fly. Well, I've actually made this before, but I didn't write it down. The technique is standard - it's basically a ganache with a little oomph! Enjoy this with a nice cup of Village Coffee Roastery Blend and a Thin Mint Girlscout Cookie!!!
This recipe is a snap, can be stored for up to a week and can easily be doubled for large parties. Toast points or water crackers are a great way to serve. Enjoy!!
As many of you may know, I often pull recipe ideas out of thin air and simply put them to paper w/o testing, retesting, dissecting and testing again. This is one of those times. Let's focus on the technique of the thing...coffee marinated wood chips on the grill and a big ole' pork butt!! How hard can it be???
We were always experimenting in the kitchen when I was a kid. My older brother and I loved to bake together and decided to recreate the popular candy of the day. I updated it a bit for a smoother consistency, but this is basically what we came up with! One caveat...the dishes afterward are a bitch!!!
