Homemade Fry Sauce {Three Ways}
Pub Fries are single handedly responsible for my decision to make Fry Sauce. That bucket of perfectly Crispy Baked Potato Wedges deserved an equally perfect dunking sauce. But which one should I make?

BBQ Chicken Pizza Dip
It’s football season, officially Autumn Thyme and we’ve dipped into the low 60’s here in the sunny south. I for one am ready for fall. Bring on apples, pumpkins, soups, stews, chili, comfort food and game day recipes, preferably in the form of hot dips. Hot dips like BBQ Chicken Pizza Dip.

Monterey Loaded Nacho Fries
I know for many families Friday is Pizza Night. At our house we’ve been toasting the end of the work week with a cold beverage and a tray of Nachos. Last Friday we made a big pan of roasted corn & poblano nachos with sausage and queso fresco. They were amazing. Tonight it’s Monterey Loaded Nacho Fries, inspired by our crazy good Monterey Chicken recipe.

BBQ Chicken Pizza
I should have named this my “Chicken or the Egg Pizza” because I couldn’t tell you which came first, our desire to make Pizza or to make Homemade BBQ Sauce and Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing. Both of which found their way onto this BBQ Chicken Pizza.

Monterey Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Why not turn this favorite chicken recipe into a grilled cheese? If I can put Spaghetti & Meatballs into a grilled cheese, Monterey Chicken seemed like a natural. Grilled chicken breast with smoky hickory bbq sauce, crispy bacon, lots of cheese, sliced tomato and diced jalapeno & scallion….sounds amazing right?

I remember sitting outside at a patio table, sipping on a margarita, and soaking in the first glimpse of summer. It was twenty years ago and the name of the restaurant escapes me now but the Monterey Chicken does not.

Brunswick Stew {Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry}
Brunswick Stew. It began yesterday morning when we pulled a hunk of Boston Butt Pork Roast from the freezer and put it straight into the crock pot. Without a plan. As we bounced ideas around for something ‘different’ we could do with pulled pork…it came to me. Let’s make Brunswick Stew.

Pulled Pork Baked Potato {with a side of slaw}
Pulled Pork Baked Potato {with a side of slaw}. I choose to view leftovers as an opportunity. You know those small containers of last night’s dinner that tend to hang around for a day or five until they become unrecognizable (at least to those of us without a science degree). Don’t let that happen to you. Start looking at them as Potato Toppers. I promise you when we made Slow Braised Boston Butt Pork Roast, baked potatoes were the last thing from my mind.

Honey BBQ Pork Back Ribs
Our ‘unofficial kick-off to summer’ was this past weekend and included Honey BBQ Pork Back Ribs. Tender, finger-licking good, awe-mazing Honey BBQ Pork Back Ribs. One of our favorite ‘grilling’ cookbooks is Championship Barbecue Sauces by Chef Paul Kirk. We adapted his Kansas City Style Ribs recipe.
