BBQ Cole Slaw

My Nephew Adam invited me over for some pulled pork, he was cooking 30 lbs. I was like dang that’s alot of pork do you want me to bring some cole slaw? He said yes that will work (Nice work on the pork,  Adam). Critical, this recipe must be done at least 1 day in advance. I…

Crispy Baked Wings

The secret ingredient is baking powder and of course good quality wings. I usually make my menu with what I find at the market. Today I found some no hormone/antibiotic free chicken wings on sale. The meat is white and pink like it’s supposed to be and not yellow. Ingredients: 2 pounds chicken wings 2…

Okra-Tomato Gumbo

When I was a child I remember okra being served 3 ways, fried, pickled or okra and tomato’s. My favorite was fried, I would stand by the stove as it cooked and beg for a piece. When it came time for stewed okra and tomato I ran away. Today I had 2 fresh tomato’s and…

Shrimp Scampi

I had to go to the big box store today and on my way noticed a guy selling fresh shrimp on the side of the road. On my way home I stopped in, he had fresh shrimp from McClellanville, SC and I was like for $12 a pound give me one. This is what fresh…

Thirsty Bird

I really enjoy using the no hormone antibiotic free chicken, they have a nice complexion and taste. The big chicken producers in the States are starting to catch on and I hope they are not using loopholes to label inferior chicken. At least the people are asking for a better healthier product. The beer can…

Sirlion pimento cheese burgers

Every once in a while you have a food that makes you close your eyes while your eating it. Last weekend I had a pimento burger cooked medium (yes the restaurant actually cooked it with some pink) and that’s what I did while enjoying it. They obviously have fresh meat. I said to myself I…

Sauteed cabbage and cheddar wurst

Summer time in the States means I’m really busy. If you don’t work in the marine industry you probably don’t have a clue, 172 voice mails today (really no BS). So I have not been able to post much. Right now the gardens are providing fresh produce and I love it (blessed). My parents gave…
