Sausage Balls
Sausage Balls are an appetizer that has been around for years. It involves mixing sausage with biscuit mix and baking it. They are very tasty but also very greasy and they mostly taste of sausage. This is my effort to make a less greasy version and to kick up the complexity of the flavours. Continue reading Sausage Balls
ShawTV Episode 16 “You Can Make It” – Barbecued Ribs, Crangria and Candied Salmon
Episode 16 of my ShawTV East Kootenay community TV show you can make it shows me making Barbecued Spareribs, Crangria and Candied Salmon!

3-2-1 Spareribs
There are two basic results for good barbecued ribs, fall of the bone and bite off the bone where you can bite the meat and it pulls from the bone but doesn’t fall off.

I wanted to do some ribs for my ShawTV East Kootenays Community TV program, “You Can Make It”. 3-2-1 ribs were my choice for the shoot. Continue reading 3-2-1 Spareribs

Getting a nice piece of wild salmon is difficult and expensive here in the mountains. You can get small frozen fillet pieces. She Who Must Be Obeyed loves salmon so I do what I can. Continue reading Quick Glazed Salmon
OFG Summer Sausage
I have made summer sausage from kits and from recipes with all kind of exotic ingredients like encapsulated ascorbic acid, Fermento, high temperature cheese, etc. If you know the history of summer sausage, it was made by local people from local ingredients and just included meat and seasonings and then was smoked. With all my experimenting, I found I liked the old simple recipe and it is now my go to. Welcome to OFG Summer Sausage. Continue reading OFG Summer Sausage
