This is a sweet little rub…well not really sweet at all. But, rather on the savory side…and delicious. It’s very flexible, too. Excellent on pork and beef, but equally delicious on salmon or chicken, as well as sweet potatoes. You’re hungry now, aren’t you? Continue reading

I always have bottle of this rub/seasoning in my cupboard. With BBQ season just around the corner, this is a must-have. I usually double the recipe, as I go through it quickly. It takes a burger and a steak to a heavenly place. Continue reading

Coffee and chiles, with brown or maple sugar, make a terrific dry rub meat, particularly pork. But, I use this on steak and burgers, but it is surprisingly delicious on both lamb and venison. I haven’t tried in on duck, but I think it would be delicious. A rubbed-filled jar is a great gift for the foodie in your life. Continue reading

Spatchcock? Or not spatchcock? That is the question. It’s such fun to say “spatchcock”…go ahead, say it over and over. Turns out, it’s a great way to save time cooking your turkey, too. I have done this with a twenty pounder, but today, it’s a smaller twelve pounder. Then, place your different types of seasoning on each quarter for four different flavors, because variety is truly the spice of life! Continue reading

It’s time to fess up. I do love ribs. The Goddess likes to gnaw on bones…it’s a thing. And she prefers her ribs to be slow-roasted in the oven, not on the grill. You knew she was unorthodox, but the ribs don’t dry out in the oven. You can control the moisture and well, they’re just better. And dry rub is the secret to great ribs. Continue reading

We’ve already talked about the spectacularly delicious tea, Lapsang Souchong Oolong. It’s smoky and makes an interesting cup of tea. But, I like to use the tea for cooking. It is just the perfect addition to this simple dry rub for meat. You can use it on other things, but it positively sings on beef…we’re talking a full-fledged aria. Continue reading

Boneless chicken thighs are a natural for stuffing. The cheese-stuffed jalapeño is a perfect way to keep the cheese from oozing out of the thigh and giving the whole thing a nice little Zing!! A pan sauce, a Cuban tamale and dinner is served. Continue reading
