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?)

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.

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 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 Continue reading
