This is my version of “special sauce”. It’s great on burgers, steamed or roasted veggies, potatoes (yeah, I know they are veggies, too), roast beef and Reuben sandwiches, too. It’s a great dip, too. Continue reading

Okay, these aren’t necessarily “baked” beans. They can be, if that’s what you want to do and you have the time. Otherwise, make this “quick and dirty” version in about 20 minutes. They have tons of flavor and if you toss some cut-up hot dogs into the mix, cook some rice, add a tossed salad or green veggie, you can have dinner on the table in under 30 minutes. Continue reading

This is Allspice. Contrary to what many people think, Allspice is not a blend of spices. From a taste standpoint, you can see where this myth comes from. It is said to taste like a combination of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
