Ribs by James…
My brother James and my mom are HUGE fans of ribs. Anytime we go eat at any of our local BBQ joints (which we have several of here in Texas) they always order ribs. Me, I am more of a brisket and sausage gal, but that is for another day and another recipe. It is RIB time OK… now back to the ribs…being that my brother loves ribs & he loves to grill and smoke things he took it upon himself to make the best ribs ever…and I will admit they are really, really good. He experimented with several variations of this recipe but finally found the perfect combo of…

frozen has never been so fancy
Not too long ago I was in the middle of a crazy week and The Hubby wanted to grill. I always loves it when he grills but I didn’t have any sides for the burgers. And then I looked in the freezer and saw the answer…frozen fries. Now it’s time to make them fancy Me being me I can’t just bake them as directed on the package, I have to fancy them up a bit. So how do you make frozen fries fancy, you ask? It really is quite simple…just a few shakes here and there and there you go…Fancy Fries. First spread them out onto a baking sheet and…

grilled BBQ chicken at it’s best…
Cooking on the grill is one of my most favorite things ever! Let me be clear…when The Hubby cooks on the grill it is one of my most favorite things…especially when it is this chicken!! Start it off right I start this BBQ chicken off with my most favorite marinade. I find it gives the chicken a lot of flavor and also helps to tenderize the chicken a little. If you do not have time to marinade, thats ok, just make sure to season it well. What cuts are best? With chicken there are so many options. You could grill chicken breasts, drumsticks, thighs to the whole leg quarter. Whatever…

It’s time for a BBQ
As I have mentioned before we grill a lot around here. If it were up to me we would grill every meal in the summer, but I will settle for several in a week. For Friends and Family When The Hubby and I entertain the grill is normally on and many times you can find pork being grilled, (like this teriyaki version). Pork is perfect for grilling, it is quick and very versatile. It is always so fun to get everyone around the grill while enjoying a drink (or two) while enjoying the wonderful aroma only a grill can give. The Hubby and I also enjoy grilling for just the two…

Sweet & Spicy = AMAZNG BBQ Sauce
I have a secret dream. One that I have never told anyone…EVER! I dream of winning a BBQ sauce competition. Really? Yes, for reals. I have a recurring dream (or maybe its a nightmare) that I win a BBQ sauce competition at the Houston Rodeo. After having that dream for so long, I now have a desire to make BBQ sauce. I know it sounds weird…and let’s be honest I am a little different, but any chance I get to make my own BBQ sauce I jump on it. Fancy or Simple? Well I have done both. A simple BBQ Sauce and a Peach BBQ sauce (that would be the…

BBQ pork in the winter (no grill needed)
As the weather cools down using your gill outside is not so easy but don’t worry you can still have your favorite BBQ all made inside and even better it is made in your slow cooker! Break out a freezer favorite! So pork tenderloin is something I always have in my freezer. It thaws quickly, it cooks quickly and you can do almost anything to it and it takes great! Just last week I made this roasted pork tenderloin with root veggies that is a great Fall inspired dish and it is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner…but there is just something about a BBQ pork sandwich that transports me back to…
