Here’s the problem. I love fried chicken. I hate the mess that fat frying makes. She Who Must Be Obeyed doesn’t want me to eat fried food. It seems my choices are limited. Continue reading BBQ “Fried” Chicken

Apple Sausage Pork Loin
I love pork. It roasts so well. Some pork loin came on sale so it was time! The only problem with pork loin is that it is very lean and can dry out. I have found that stuffing the pork with fatty sausage or a moist stuffing can help keep it juicy. I decided to try sausage and apples. Continue reading Apple Sausage Pork Loin
Burnt End Beef Ribs
I had some nice meaty beef ribs and was about to do them in a normal 3-2-1 cook when my brain had a spasm. I wanted burnt ends. Why couldn’t finish my ribs like burnt ends? I couldn’t think of a good reason so I did! Continue reading Burnt End Beef Ribs

Hi Mountain Bourbon BBQ Blend Jerky
I make most of my dishes from scratch, including Jerky. However, there are commercial products out there that are of a high quality and give a great result. Hi Mountain Jerky mixes are one of those products. Continue reading Hi Mountain Bourbon BBQ Blend Jerky
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
East West Chicken Thighs
There is great barbecue everywhere. So I decided to bring some Asian tastes into some rub and sauce by combining them with classic barbecue flavours. Welcome to East West Chicken Thighs. Continue reading East West Chicken Thighs
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
