Way back in the spring, Easter-time to be specific, I made a ham with an improvised pineapple honey glaze that turned out to be a show-stopper. You don’t have to wait for Easter, though. Make it for Christmas! For New Years! For Jimmy’s birthday! For any ol’ time you decide you neeeeeed a glaze that’s …

A few years back I discovered Chuy’s Boom Boom Sauce through a friend. The funny weird thang was that for years I had long been a Chuy’s fan and never knew about it. Um, know it now and it makes me love Chuy’s more. How much do I/we love Chuy’s? We used to make the …
Roasted French green beans sounds so, so, French, oui? I love a roasted veggie, no doubt, but have found the veggies I’m not particularly fond of (like steamed green beans) are delicious when roasted. I’ll actually go back for seconds. Recently, on a trip to Boy’s, he made roasted asparagus, which I love any way …

Summertime = Burger-time! Burger-time is my favorite time (well, that and cake-time, champagne-time, cookie-time…). We’ve already covered grilled corn and grilled taters with onions, so why not burgers via a Grilled Burger Pizza? Drooling yet? Here’s the truth about our summer grilling: We grill once every two weeks-ish and load up the grill with burgers, …
Yes, yes, yes! Jalapeno poppers are everywhere during grill season. This site is no different: POPPERS FOR EVERYONE! My twist? Adding Fresno Chili peppers, cause you know, ain’t nobody ever done thought of that before. ~snort~ First of all, you might wanna pop over HERE and order one of the handy dandy jalapeno corers that …
Dang, that’s a lot of hyperbole in the title, ain’t it? OR IS IT?! Hint: It’s. Not. When I tell you that this recipe is revolutionary, you can understand it to mean that it has revolutionized the way I think of cooking corn; I will never, never ever never, boil my corn on the cob …
Sweet tea is a Southerner’s dream come true when made right (not green tea…there’s a big difference). As with anything else in the South (or anywhere else, for that matter) there are lots of variations of standard classics. The German did not make sweet tea. She wasn’t Southern, after all. Yet, it was one of …
Carrots got a drankin’ problem, y’all. I love you, man! Yes, carrots, we love you, too. I first heard of whiskey-glazed carrots from a friend after they had made them for Thanksgiving.
