They made delicious marinades and sauces from scratch, timed out their […]
World JR BBQ League Contest in the Cayman Islands!
A few years ago I started a 501(c)3 charity, the World Junior BBQ League (worldjrbbqleague.com) The main aim of the charity is to help create BBQ events for young people. Our teens should be involved in more than just video games. I want them to learn teamwork, work ethic, planning skills, leadership, and so much […]
Grilled Lemon Pepper Lobster Tails
if you asked most people to pick the most decadent dish, you’d find lobster tails would be among the top vote-getters. Most people reserve lobster tails for very special occasions, and generally only order them in a restaurant. While lobster is no “value meal,” you can definitely make better lobster at home than most restaurants, […]
Garlic Parmesan Squash Saute
In the South, we value side dishes as much as the main course. So much so that dinner at my house is often made up of side dishes. A tradition around here is to get a “meat and three” or a “veggie plate” at many local diners. This Garlic Parmesan Squash Saute recipe has zucchini, […]
Smoked Buffalo Pork Tenderloin
Pork tenderloins don’t get nearly enough ink as an all-around excellent dinner option. They’re hard to overcook, easy to portion, and take any flavor profile you want to give them. Like American BBQ? Ok. How about Asian-flavored- perfect. Thinking a bit more Mediterranean? Well, they’ll be excellent in that as well. This recipe for Smoked […]

Easy Garlicky Green Beans
This Garlicky Green Bean recipe uses French green beans, or haricot vert. This is a type of green bean that is thinned and usually harvested earlier than the thicker “green bean” that Americans are used to eating. They’re not the most common item in my area, but they can be found, and make a great […]
Smoked Beef Rib Bites
Beef spare and back ribs get short-shrift in the PR department. Pork ribs, beef plate ribs, (those “dinosaur” ribs you see,) and beef short ribs always get the big love on pics and posts. But I’m here to tell you when you cook beef ribs into Beef Rib Bites as I do in this recipe, […]
Smoked Lemon Pepper Spatchcock Chicken
I really love smoked chicken, but a lot of recipes are just a heavy, BBQ flavor that’s just too potent sometimes. My recipe for Smoked Lemon Pepper Spatchcock Chicken has a beautiful, light, citrus flavor as the prevalent note. However, I love those umami mid-flavors, so I used my Garlic Blend as an addition for […]
