I’m back…..
Been a while since I’ve dropped by here, but don’t count me out! I have some great new stuff to share, and I’m going to start with something as simple as making your fresh pineapple better (did you notice all the yummy fresh fruit in the grocery stores lately?) I used to chop the top off my pineapple and proceed to skin it. Doesn’t matter… Continue reading

Pig Candy
Those two little words got your attention, didn’t they?? Well if they didn’t, try BACON candy! I met Danielle (Diva Q) at the American Royal BBQ Contest last fall, and even sort of broke my way into the Traeger tent to get a pic snapped with her. (Pinned here: https://twitter.com/ConnieBeene1) I promptly put this recipe book on my Christmas list: I made a couple of… Continue reading

A random recommendation and a good appetizer option for your NYE celebration
I’m going to say that one of my best finds of 2019 was this: If you are rolling your eyes, I’m ignoring you 🙂 I had never used it, as a doubter, and crossed my fingers and tried it on a bundt cake — probably the best test. The result: the mess that you have to endure otherwise with greasing the pan (not the mess),… Continue reading

Football snacks!
Anybody else glad it’s football 🏈 season besides me? My fantasy team isn’t going to win me millions but sure am glad to have #KSU back (and seriously kicking it, BTW) and the CHIEFS!! I grabbed some more hatch chiles so roasted them this morning before the 90 degree weather showed up. Put ’em on the grill until they’re really charred and then place in… Continue reading

Horseradish pickles anyone???
ok, don’t run away immediately. I gotta admit, these aren’t my complete faves, but the hubs likes them, and they’re similar to a deli here in town, famous for their pickles and chili. I personally like my Sweet and Spicy Pickles but he brewed these up today so I thought I’d share. At our recent fall party, they were gone, like wildfire! Super easy to make… Continue reading

Easy Pork Carnitas
I made these recently for a Taco Tuesday party, and cannot tell you how delish, and easy they are. I have not really experimented with carnitas, but will definitely do it again. And, super affordable! I found this recipe on the Food Network, thanks to Melissa D’Arabian and then did a little “Connie editing” as I always do. I encourage you to yank out that… Continue reading

Poor Mans Burnt Ends
Burnt ends are amazing! They’re normally made from the point of a beef brisket, smoked low-and-slow for hours and hours. However, you can get that tender juicy delicious beef bite using a much cheaper cut of meat, a chuck roast. You follow the same cooking rules — smoke for a LONG time, cut up, add sauce and back on the smoker ending with a delicious… Continue reading
