I love spareribs and I prefer them St Louis cut. That means the centre rib bone, the back skirt and the end flap are trimmed off to make a neat rectangle of meat. Continue reading Trimming St Louis Ribs

Adult Ham Mac and Cheese
I like mac and cheese. A lot. However, that usually means something in a box to most people. I have nothing against the boxed version but it mostly hooks you in with a lot of salt. Continue reading Adult Ham Mac and Cheese
Cuban Pork Loin
Before I begin this post, I humbly apologize to every Cuban or person of Cuban heritage. I love this style of cooking but a lot of the ingredients are not available here in the Canadian Rockies. For example I noted some recipes call for a sour orange. Therefore, this is my homage to the style and flavour profile but is in no way authentic Cuban food. If you haven’t had Cuban cuisine, seek it out. It is wonderful! Continue reading Cuban Pork Loin
Spicy Snack Sticks
I like to golf. She Who Must Be Obeyed says I golf too much. Sigh. When I golf, I find myself getting peckish around the 11th hole and I like to have something in my bag. Snack Sticks are the perfect solution. Continue reading Spicy Snack Sticks
Maple Chipotle Bacon
I have made maple bacon and I have made Chipotle (ground dried smoked chilies). Both are really good. However, I got an email from my niece telling me how much she enjoyed the Chipotle bacon while I was eating some maple bacon. As usual, my brain had a spasm and I thought the two might be great together. I like the combination of sweet/hot. I had to give it a try. I decided to go with Back (Canadian) Bacon and picked up a pork loin. Continue reading Maple Chipotle Bacon
Honey Sriracha Salmon
Sometimes you just need a meal in a hurry. There is no reason it can’t be tasty! She Who Must Be Obeyed had a couple of pieces of sockeye salmon fillet and we were busy. I made a simple glaze and grilled it. Home made fast food! Continue reading Honey Sriracha Salmon
EZStart® Charcoal Chimney Product Review
I was contacted by EZ Flame BBQ Inc. and asked to try out their product, the EZStart® Charcoal Chimney. There was two problems with this. First, I don’t like to take free products to review in case it sucks. Second, what could be new in the world of charcoal chimneys? You put newspaper in the bottom, coals in the top and light it. Continue reading EZStart® Charcoal Chimney Product Review

Sriracha Grilled New Potatoes
When you are grilling a steak or roasting a chicken in your barbecue, you don’t want to be running inside to deal with potatoes. This is one of my favourite ways of doing potatoes on the grill. Continue reading Sriracha Grilled New Potatoes
Mountain Garden 2018
I am starting to get some of the main crops out of my vegetable garden. We have already harvested all our spinach and are continuing other early crops like lettuce, peas, green onions and our cherry tomatoes. I decided it was time to show you the vegetable garden. If you are not a gardener, this will be good for your insomnia. Continue reading Mountain Garden 2018
