Bratwurst on a grill is a backyard BBQ go-to. Most everyone likes a charred-burnt sausage (I think), so you can’t really screw it up. The bite results in a mouth burn only rivaled by pizza rolls. And it’s easy. Sure, world bratwurst day is August 16th, but National Hot Dog Day was two

My absolute favorite side biscuits are my Jiminick‘s. I’ve linked to those a number of times, they really deserve their own post (maybe it’s coming?). I was fixin to try something new this time, gotta keep experimenting. I stumbled across the “Pao de Queijo” – or Brazilian Cheese Bread. It was similar to

So I was away traveling for work and enjoyed so much authentic Mexican food, I have to up my game. The flavor.. and passion.. that some of these small eateries put into their food is remarkable. Thank you to all of those small restaurants – you’ve taught me more than you’ll know! And

A staple side for BBQ plate – baked beans, pit beans, cowboy beans, bbq beans – however you want to categorize it… it’s a perfect side. It’s hard not to just pick up a can of Bush’s for a dollar or two and add heat and call it a side. But I wanted

This post has been crazy hard to write. I’ve had it in the queue for awhile, and I don’t really have that great of an excuse. If you recall, I started my Three S’s series on making the cook your own, starting with Seasonings and Sauces. “Sides” is so very broad and encompassing

My #1 go-to meal is the taco. You can make them as simple or as complex as you want. I’ve made stove-top ground beef tacos more times than I’d like to admit. So it was time to do it again. I grabbed a pound of lean ground beef (significant difference from those Onion

The small, greasy diner, no-frills hamburger. The guilty pleasure meal instilled in me at a young-age – but the appreciation of such a burger grew with time. There’s a number of these long-standing small buildings offering up the “grease burgers” in my Mid-west area of the country, but none were better than the

Chicken wings are always dangerous animal for me because of the “bite”. I want to incorporate so much into so little – smoke, seasoning, crisp-bite-through skin and of course, that moist chicken. After my last wing cook, I think I got it down, but I wanted to add a little bit extra to
