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
Koss Sauce Shrimp
I love grilled shrimp but I have never really cared for it with tomato based commercial barbecue sauces. I just find them too sweet for the already sweet shrimp. Continue reading Koss Sauce Shrimp
Huevos De Armadillo
You have heard of armadillo eggs if you are a smoker. They are made by stuffing a jalapeno with a cheese mixture and then wrapped in breakfast sausage. The result is smoked and served. Continue reading Huevos De Armadillo

Shrimp Skewers Louie
I am old enough to remember the days of the stodgy old steakhouses. They had white table cloths, huge hunks of beef and a standard set of appetizers and side dishes. One of the common dishes was Shrimp Louie, shrimp in a tasty pink sauce. It was a rich appetizer served in a chilled glass. I have updated it to a more modern version with shrimp on skewers to make them a finger food with a tasty dip. Continue reading Shrimp Skewers Louie
Sausage Rolls
I really like to have sausage rolls on hand particularly in the holiday season. I make them up and freeze them uncooked. When company comes over, I take as many as I want out of the freezer and bake them for 25 minutes in a 375 F oven. Voila! Hot sausage rolls. Continue reading Sausage Rolls
Three Cheese ABTs
I had a special occasion for a couple of friends. They like ABTs (Atomic Buffalo Treats or words to that effect) but you have to kick it up a bit for special occasions so I put more cheese in them! Continue reading Three Cheese ABTs
Shrimp & Buffalo Remoulade
When you have guests you don’t want to spend all your time preparing food, you want to spend time with them. This is an appetizer that you can make in advance and just bring out when your guests arrive. It doesn’t hurt that it is very easy! Continue reading Shrimp & Buffalo Remoulade
Barbecue Chicken Lollipops
I posted another chicken lollipop recipe a couple of days ago, Mexican Drumstick Lollipops. I had bought a large tray of drumsticks and only used 1/2 of the tray. I decided to try the other 1/2 with some changes for comparison. Continue reading Barbecue Chicken Lollipops
