The Best Damn Brownies You'll Ever Put In Your Mouth

The Best Damn Brownies You'll Ever Put In Your Mouth

I know that's saying a lot but these are indeed the best damn brownies you'll ever put in your mouth. Once you ever eat one of these brownies you won't be able to stop. You'll want another and then you'll want another. And then you'll realize that these are indeed the best damn brownies you ever put in your mouth.

Ingredients

For the Brownie layer

10 tbsp unsalted butter

1 1/4 cups white sugar

3/4 cup cocoa powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 large eggs

1/2 cup flour

For the Oreo layer

1 package of Oreo (regular stuffed or double stuffed)

For the Cookie Dough layer:

1/2 cup unsalted butter (at room temp)

1/4 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup white sugar

1 egg

1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/4 cups flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

For the Brownie layer

In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter over medium high heat. Add the sugar and cocoa powder once the butter is melted. Whisk to combine and remove from heat. Add the salt, vanilla and eggs and continuously whisk until the eggs are combined. Add the flour and continue to mix. Set batter aside.

For the Cookie Dough layer

Cream together the butter and sugars in a mixer. Add the eggs and vanilla, making sure to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl. Add the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder and mix on low until everything is incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips. Set dough aside.

Assembly

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Line the bottom of a 9x9 baking pan with tin foil and then spray the tin foil with a layer of baking spray.

Layer the cookie dough on the bottom of a 9x9 baking pan, pressing down to form the bottom of the brownies.

Layer as many oreos that will fit on top of the cookie dough. No need to overlap. One single layer will do.

Pour the brownie batter on top of the oreo layer and make sure it's evenly layers on top.

Bake for 30-35 minutes. Test with a knife to see if the center is done. If the knife comes out clean, let the brownies rest before serving. If the knife comes out with batter still on it, allow the brownies to bake about 5 minutes more.

Serve with ice cream

You can eat these hot from the oven but what I suggest is to cut out your brownie and put it in a bowl. Add a big scoop of ice cream to the bowl and once you taste them you'll know and understand why these are truly the best damn brownies you will ever put in your mouth.

Chicken Marbella Is One Of The Best Chicken Dishes Ever

Delicious Chicken Marbella

Prunes, olives and capers jazz up chicken breasts in a simple dinner that's elegant enough to serve when company's coming. Serve this saucy dish over brown basmati rice or yellow saffron rice, I like it over the saffron rice. I know this recipe calls for chicken breasts but this delicious recipe can easily be made with chicken thighs that you have removed the skin and bone from.

I just simply love this delicious recipe. Make it with chicken wings and small chicken drum sticks for a delicious before dinner appetizer.

The overnight marination is essential to the moistness of the finished chicken. The chicken keeps its flavor and even improves the flavor over several days in the refrigerator. This dish is excellent for a picnic.

Ingredients For Your Chicken Marbella

1. 1/2 Cup Olive Oil.

2. One Half Cup Red Wine.

3. One Cup Pitted Prunes.

4. 1/2 Cup Pitted Spanish Green Olives.

5. 1/2 Cup Capers With A Bit Of Juice.

6. 6 Bay Leaves.

7. One Tablespoon Fresh Minced Garlic.

8. 1/4 Cup Dry Oregano Crumbled.

9. Ground Sea Salt And Fresh Ground Black Pepper.

10. Four Chickens Cut Up Or 16 Boned Skinned Chicken Thighs.

11. One Cup Brown Sugar.

12. One Cup Dry White Wine.

13. One Fourth Cup Fresh Chopped Cilantro.

14. Saffron Yellow Rice To Serve With The Chicken.

Instructions For Making Your Chicken Marbella

Combine the olive oil, red wine, prunes, olives, capers, bay leaves, garlic, oregano, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken and stir to coat. Cover your bowl and refrigerate over night.

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Arrange your chicken in a single layer in one or two large shallow baking pans and spoon the marinade over the chicken. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the chicken and pour the white wine around the chicken in the pan or pans.

Bake, basting frequently with the pan juices, until the thigh pieces are good and done. Test one of the bigger ones to make sure.

With a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken, prunes, olives, and capers to a serving tray. Moisten with a few spoonfulls of the pan juices. Sprinkle with the freshly chopped cilantro.

To serve Chicken Marbella cold, cool to room temperature in the cooking juices before transfering the pieces to a serving platter. If the chicken has been in the refrigerator heat in the juices and allow it to cool to room temperature before serving. Spoon some of the reserved juice over the chicken.

I like to serve this chicken along with saffron yellow rice and green bean casserole. This is truly one of the best chicken dishes you will ever make and eat in your life. It is a little involved to make this chicken dish but it is so yummy. Try it and I think you will agree.

I love to make this dish as a appetizer and when I do I usually use the drumstick from chicken wings and people just love them. I love them myself because they are so delicious. Try them and see what you think. You can also do the same thing with skinned boneless chicken thighs. Cut the chicken thighs up in small pieces and stick frilled toohpicks in each small piece of chicken thigh for people to pick up. They will just love them I promise you. And everyone will be wanting the recipe.

Oreo Rice Krispy Treats

Here we have Oreo Rice Krispy Treats that I guarantee you that everyone will love. These are so easy to make yet one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted.

6 Cups Rice Krispie Cereal

20 Regular Oreos Chopped

5 cups Mini Marshmallows

3 Tbsp. Butter

White Chocolate For Drizzle

Instructions

Spray a 9x13 dish with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, pour measured Rice Krispie Cereal.

Chop and mash Oreos. You can do this by putting them in a ziplock bag to help keep the mess under control. You want the Oreos to be a variety of sizes from chunky to finely crushed.

Add Oreos to Rice Krispy cereal and stir to combine.

In a medium sauce pan, heat butter and marshmallows together over medium heat, stirring constantly, until they melt together.

Pour melted marshmallows over cereal and oreos and use a spatula sprayed with non-stick cooking spray to quickly combine all the ingredients.

As soon as all the cereal is combined, spread mixture into the prepared 9×13″ dish. Use the spatula to press the mixture around the dish, and flatten as needed.

Let sit until completely cooled. NOTE: When the rice krispy Treats had cooled I drizzled mine with some white chocolate and let it set until it hardened for a pretty finish.

I bet you can't eat just one.

Let me tell you a secret about fried rice here. If you will prepare your rice the day before and put it into the refrigerator overnight it will always work out better for fried rice the next day. If you make the rice the same day you use it in the recipe it will never be as good.

In Harris Teeters and some other larger supermarkets you can now find Chinese Sausage. If you live near a Asian market they will have it. You may find it under the name Lap Cheong. If you buy the sausage from a Asian market it may come dried. If so soak it for a few hours before you dice it up and fry it. You want to fry this sausage until it is crisp.

2. Two Links Chinese Sausage Chopped Up Fine.

3. One Half Cup Cooked Chicken In Cubes.

4. One Large Egg Well Beaten.

5. One Half Cup Frozen Chinese Vegetables.

6. One Tablespoon Fresh Minced Garlic.

7. Two Tablespoons Red Thai Curry Paste.

8. One Tablespoon Sesame Oil And One Tablespoon Vegetable Oil Mixed.

9. Salt And Pepper To Taste.

Start off by adding your oil to a skillet and add your Chinese Sausage and the garlic and fry until the garlic is done and the sausage is done. Add your chicken and fry until browned and mix it all well. Fry your egg in another pan and when done pour it out onto a cutting board and dice it up.

Now add all your ingredients to the skillet and heat until everything is cooked. Mix as you cook and be sure the curry paste gets well mixed through out the other ingredients. Serve at once in the center of a plate and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro or lemon grass. I guarantee you that you will have some of the most delicious fried rice you will ever eat.

You can serve this fried rice with steamed vegetables and a whole steamed tilpia and have a delicious festive meal that everyone will love. If you make the Red Curry Fried Rice please post a comment and let me know what you think about the dish.

The Best Damn Coffee Cake Ever Made

Whether your choice of hot drink is coffee, tea or hot chocolate, a huge piece of this coffeecake should always accompany each mug. With the Holidays around the corner, many of us will have family visiting from all over, and this is the perfect snack cake to serve when it’s finally time to sit down and catch up. It is based on the recipe I use for hot milk cake, and truly shows the versatility of this batter.

The important part here is to introduce a caramel layer in the center which adds a gooeyness to the filling that is just delicious. To achieve this, I make my streusel recipe in 2 different ways. For the caramel interior, I use ¾ cup of flour and for the crunchy streusel top I use 1 cup of flour. I also added chopped, roasted pecans and shards of darks chocolate. To make it a real coffeecake, I drizzled my milk sugar glaze on top…try this, it’s just heavenly.

Streusel For Center of Cake

1 stick cold salted butter

¾ cup flour

½ cup packed brown sugar

½ cup granulated sugar

3 teaspoons cinnamon

Streusel For Top Of Cake

1 sticks cold salted butter

1 cup flour

½ cup packed brown sugar

½ cup granulated sugar

3 teaspoons cinnamon

Make each streusel in exactly the same way…Add the cold butter to a medium sized bowl and then add the dry ingredients. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it is all incorporated and resembles a coarse meal. The one make with less flour will be softer. Store both in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to use.

Coffeecake (makes 1-14” square cake)

1 recipe hot milk cake

1 recipe milk sugar glaze

1 ½ cups dark chocolate mini chips

1 ½ cups chopped, roasted pecans

First prepare both of the streusels and keep them in the freezer or refrigerator until ready to use. Roast and chop the pecans and chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and set aside. Prepare the batter and pour it into your paper- lined cake pan.

Pour in half of the batter and add all of the streusel made with the ¾ cup of flour.

Top this with the pecans and dark chocolate and pour the other half of the cake batter on top. Add the other streusel all over that will create a lovely crunchy top and bake this at 350°F for 30-40 minutes until the cake is golden brown and tests clean…do not over bake.

When cool, drizzle the milks sugar on the cake and set aside until ready to serve.

Hot Milk Cake Recipe

1 ½ cups whole milk

3 stick butter, room temperature

6 eggs

3 cups sugar

4 teaspoons vanilla

3 cups all purpose flour

1½ cups cake flour

3 ¼ teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons salt

If you are going to use the pumpkin butter and the streusel, make sure to prepare those ahead of time and set aside so that they are ready to add to the cake batter. In a small microwave safe bowl, add the milk and butter together and heat until the butter has melted, then set aside. In a separate large bowl, add the eggs, sugar and vanilla and whisk together until all of the ingredients are well incorporated. Sift all of the dry ingredients together into a separate bowl. You are going to add the dry ingredients in 3 additions and the liquid in 2 additions. We do this to prevent any lumps from forming because there is a good bit of liquid to incorporate. Begin with adding 1/3 of the flour into the eggs and whisk well, then add half of the butter/milk mixture and whisk again. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients until you have achieved a smooth batter and everything is well combined.

Pour half of the cake batter into a well sprayed and (parchment) paper lined cake pan. Add half of the streusel on top of the batter in the pan, then pour the rest of the cake batter on top of that.

Add the pumpkin butter (or your favorite jam or pie filling) on top of this and swirl into the batter.

Add the rest of the streusel all over the top of this

Bake the cake in a 350°F oven and bake until the cake tests clean, about 30-45 minutes. Allow to cool completely before slicing. This will be easier to slice if baked the day before, so make it ahead of time if you can.

Pumpkin-Apple Butter

1-15 oz can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled and finely grated

¾ cup granulated sugar

½ cup packed brown sugar

¼ cup honey

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 teaspoon butter rum extract

¼ cup Meyer’s Rum ( or you can use a good whiskey)

1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon cloves

¼ teaspoon nutmeg

¼ teaspoon allspice

¾ cup dark chocolate chips (I use Guittard)

Add everything into a medium sized pot and cook slowly, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon over moderate heat for 15 -20 minutes until it has thickened.

Place the chocolate chips into a medium sized stainless steel bowl, and once the mixture has cooked, pour this over the dark chocolate and allow the heat to melt the chocolate.

Use the wooden spoon to stir the chocolate into the mixture until it has completely melted. Allow to cool and store in a sealed container in the refrigerator until ready to use.

I hope you have enjoyed these wonderful recipes and I really hope you get to make the recipes real soon. This really is The Best Damn Coffee Cake Ever

Smoked Paprika And Cheddar Burgers, Burger Tips

Smoked Paprika And Cheddar Burgers

6 Ounces of Ground Beef.

1 Tablespoon Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese.

1 Level Teaspoon Ground Sea Salt.

1/2 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper.

1/2 Teaspoon Toasted Sesame Oil.

1/2 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika.

1 Teaspoon Minced Fresh Garlic.

1 Teaspoon Hot Sauce

What you want to do is mix all of the above ingredients into the ground beef and form it by hand into a hamburger pattie. Form the hamburger pattie with wet hands so that its easy to form your hamburger pattie.

You'll want to repeat the above for each hamburger you need.

No recipe is written in stone. I suggest using the new potato hamburger rolls for your burgers. Butter the bun and toast them golden brown before you put your burgers together.

You can decide what you want on your finished burger. I suggest thin sliced sweet purple onion, lettuce, and thin sliced tomato. Some people also want homemade chili and homemade slaw. If you click those links you'll find great recipes for those items. The chili recipe is a award winning chili recipe with no beans and its so delicious on burgers and cheeseburgers. The slaw recipes are also the best you'll ever find. Check out the recipes and I bet you'll like what you find there.

Burger Tips For Everyone

Summer and fall - and the long weekends in-between - are ideal times to fire up the grill and bring the family together for some outdoor fun.

Burgers, the quintessential barbecue fare, are among America's all-time favorite foods. For variety, top them with unconventional fixings, such as avocado slices, arugula, salsa and fresh basil.

* For best flavor, use 85 percent lean ground beef. If you choose leaner meat, add a splash of tomato juice or Worcestershire sauce to increase flavor and moisture.

* Finely mince any garlic, onions or other vegetables that will be mixed into the meat. Larger chunks will make the burger fall apart on the grill.

* Wet clean hands prior to making the patties. The patties should be formed loosely, not packed or pressed, and should be about one-half-inch thick and slightly wider than the bun.

Try this Mediterranean-inspired burger recipe at your next family barbecue.

GREEK GOURMET BURGER

(Makes 6 servings)

1 1/2 pounds ground beef (thawed)

1 1/2 medium green onion (chopped)

1 cup fresh spinach (chopped)

1/4 cup tomato (chopped)

1/4 cup organic feta cheese

1/4 teaspoon dried dill

1/2 teaspoon basil

1/2 teaspoon sea salt (to taste)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper (ground)

In a large glass bowl, mix all ingredients. Cover and chill for 1 hour to allow flavors to mingle.

Form into 6 patties. Cook over medium-high heat for 6 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Serve over seasonal mixed greens. You can put these burgers on buns if you like but they are delicious on the mixed seasonal greens.

Crock Pot Apple Butter

I just walked outside a few minutes ago and here in North Carolina its almost 1.30 A.M. here on the 17th of September and there is a slight chill in the air. Very soon it will be time to go to the mounatins and get apples for apple butter. Here I'm going to tell you that crock pot apple butter is so delicious.

You really should check out this delicious recipe for crock pot apple butter and make some for you and your family real soon. Let me tell you it is so very delicious and its easy to make.

Crock Pot Apple Butter

Makes a little more than 1 pint

1 dozen apples, peeled, cored, cubed

1/2 Cup Water

1/4 Cup Brown Sugar

1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon All Spice

Step 1:

Peel, Core, and Chop a dozen apples. I used apples from our trip to the Apple Orchard. I’m no apple expert, but these apples were more dense than the apples I typically buy in the grocery store. The flavor was great, but it took longer to break down in the Crock Pot.

Step 2:

Toss the apples in the sugar and spices.

Step 3:

Put everything in the Crockpot, then [say it with me] Set It On Med. , and Forget It!

Step 4:

I suppose it’s optional, but I decided to blend the butter down smooth. You can eat it right out of the Crockpot, I did. I just took a spoon to the Crockpot and dove in, it was divine. However, for the finished product I wanted it smoother and pulled out my blender since I don’t own an immersion blender. Then poured it into clean canning jars.

So after 15 hours and a dozen apples picked right from the tree, I had 1 pint of delicious apple butter. I froze half the batch and have the other half in the fridge just waiting to be eaten…maybe straight from the jar.

It really is so delicious on cinnamon raisin toast. You just have to try it.

2. 1 pound plus 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, divided

3. 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate

4. 6 extra-large eggs

5. 3 tablespoons instant coffee granules

6. 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract

7. 2 1/4 cups sugar

8. 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided

9. 1 tablespoon baking powder

10. 1 teaspoon ground sea salt

11. 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 12 by 18 by 1 1/2-inch sheet pan.

Melt together the butter, 1 pound of chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate in a medium bowl over simmering water. Allow to cool slightly. In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee granules, vanilla, and sugar. Stir the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature.

In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Add to the cooled chocolate mixture. Toss the remaining 12 ounces of chocolate chips in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup of flour, then add them to the chocolate batter. Pour into the prepared sheet pan. Spoon the peanut butter over the top of the chocolate mixture and using a knife, swirl it through the chocolate mixture.

Bake for 20 minutes, then rap the baking sheet against the oven shelf to force the air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes more or until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake! Allow to cool thoroughly, refrigerate, and cut into large squares.

I love these brownies topped with vanilla ice cream, cool whipped topping, and a cherry. Sometimes I add hot fudge syrup and sometimes I don't. These are so delicious.

Coca Cola BBQ Ribs Recipe

Coca Cola BBQ Ribs

FOR THE RIBS

1. 1 (1.5 liter) bottle of Coca-Cola (not diet!)

2. 1 large onion, quartered

3. 6 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed

4. 2 bay leaves

5. 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns

6. 2 racks baby back ribs (about 4 pounds)

FOR THE SAUCE

1. 2/3 stick unsalted butter.

2. 1 small white onion, diced.

3. 2 cloves of garlic, minced.

4. 1 cup ketchup.

5. 1 & 1/2 tablespoons yellow mustard.

6. 1/4 cup dark brown sugar.

7. 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.

8. 1 (12 ounce) can Coca-Cola (not diet!).

9. Ground Sea Salt, freshly ground black pepper, to taste

In a large pot, add the (1.5 liter) bottle of Coca-Cola, onion, garlic, bay leaves and peppercorns. Add the ribs and, if necessary a bit of water just to ensure the ribs are submerged completely. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer, turning the ribs occasionally, until the meat pulls away from the bone, about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, to make the sauce combine the butter, onion, garlic, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and (12 ounces) Coca-Cola in large heavy sauce pan. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer for about 25 minutes stirring often until sauce is thickened and reduced. Season to taste with salt and pepper and let cool slightly. Using a blender, puree the sauce.

Preheat the grill to high.

Remove the ribs from the pot, pat dry, season with salt and pepper and brush liberally with the sauce. Grill, turning often, until charred on the outside, about 8 minutes. Loosely tent the ribs with foil and let rest for 5 minutes before cutting into individual ribs. Serve extra sauce on the side for dipping.

Coke or Pepsi will work but you need regular Coke or Pepsi. Not diet.

These are some of the most delicious ribs that I've ever tasted in my life. They are sticky and sweet and oh so delicious. You won't find a better recipe for ribs any where.

Mix the pumpkin, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and milk. Add the flour, pumpkin spice, salt, baking powder and baking soda to the mixture. Fill each muffin cup with 1/3 cup of the mixture. Bake for twenty minutes and let cool for twenty minutes. Remove cupcakes from pan and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle more pumpkin pie spice on top and serve. Makes 12 cupcakes.

They taste exactly like a pumpkin pie only maybe even better. I will tell you that the best thing to do with these cup cakes is to use the foil cup cake papers to put your pumpkin pie cup cake batter into. This way you can easily get them out of the pan and enjoy your pumpkin pie cup cakes. I hope you get to make them and enjoy them real soon.

Mom's Broccoli And Rice Casserole

For many people, the memorable casserole of childhood is green bean or tuna casserole. But for me and my family, it is this simple combination of rice, cheese, and broccoli. How clever was my mom to concoct something delicious enough to seduce us into eating broccoli.

I will admit to serving this casserole to children for that same reason and its also a quick and easy casserole to make. You can serve this casserole with roast or fried chicken and a green salad or sliced tomatoes ripe from the garden.

Here's a Tip for you.

Mushroom soup casseroles used to be the usual thing to do and I still cook with cans of musroom soup today. The soup adds a welcome creaminess, and by minimizing the number of ingredients, it saves time, allowing you to put together a salad while the casserole bakes. I use the regular full flavored mushroom soup in my casserole and I suggest you do the same thing.

Ingredients Needed For Your Broccoli And Rice Casserole

1. Two Packages ( 10 Ounces Each ) Chopped Broccoli.

2. One Cup Instant Rice.

3. One Can ( 10.5 Oz. ) Cream Of Mushroom Soup.

4. One Half Cup Cheese Whiz.

5. One Third Cup Whole Milk.

6. One Half Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese.

7. One Level Teaspoon Ground Sea Salt.

8. Dash Of Hot Sauce.

9. One Level Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper.

Instructions For Making The Broccoli And Cheese Casserole

1. Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

2. Place the frozen broccoli in a microwave safe bowl and the broccolli thaws enough to be broken up.

Transfer the broccoli and its liquid to a 13" X 9" 3 quart glass or cermic baking dish and place it in the oven to continue thawing while you complete step 3.

3. Place the rice, mushroom soup, cheese whiz, milk, hot sauce and salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Stir until well blended. The mixture will be thick.

Remove the baking dish from the oven and, using a wooden spoon , spread the broccoli evenly over the bottom of the dish. Spoon the rice mixture over the broccoli in a even layer. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Put the baking dish in the oven and bake the casserole until it is bubbling through and slightly browned. This will take 25 to 30 minutes. Serve the casserole at once or cover it with aluminum foil if serving later. You can reheat it in a hot oven for about 10 minutes covered with aluminum foil when your ready to serve it.

Tips For Cooking And Doctoring Rice

I learned from my mother to measure twice as much liquid as rice when cooking the grain and to allow a 20 minute cooking time. For the most part this rule of thumb still works, but there are some exceptions.

Fragrant, elegant basmati rice cooks in just 15 minutes.

Instant brown rice is done in just 10 minutes.

Instant rice needs just 5 minutes to cook.

Rice is perfect for doctoring. The suggestion here all start with 1 cup of uncooked rice, which will make 3 cups when cooked and will serve about four people.

Stir 1/4 cup of fine diced green onions including tops, 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh ginger, and 2 teaspoons of rice vinegar into basmati rice.

When cooking brown rice, add 1/4 cup of finely chopped pecans and 1 teaspoon of soy sauce.

To dress up instant rice, add a bit of butter, some salt, a squeeze of lemon juice and a teaspoon of grated lemon zest to your rice.

Basmati and instant brown rice or white rice can all be cooked in a liquid other than water. You can use canned beef broth, chicken broth, coconut milk, or a blend of coconut milk and chicken broth. For a tasty treat add a piece of lemon grass and a cinnamon stick to the rice.

Why is Barbequing So Popular?

Barbequing is an American tradition. Each year, statistics show that at least 90% of families attend at least one barbeque party or celebration. About 40% of families delight in throwing parties that center around the idea of barbequing. With statistics like that, one must wonder why barbequing is such a popular event and tradition.

First, barbequing or grilling allows you to create a meal that is unmatched by any other type of cooking. The grilled smell and taste will perk up even the pickiest meat eater.

A variety of meats and side dishes are used when barbequing. Traditionally, families cook pork, beef, and fish on their grills. When visiting your local grocery store, look for meats that are specifically cut and packaged for barbequing. If you do not find pre packaged meats, then chances are spices, marinates, and kits for grilling are somewhere near by.

Traditional side dishes include potato salad, beans, and coleslaw. These sides work well with the variety of meats available and are easy to prepare and store until it is time to eat.

Your traditional condiment bar should include pickles, relish, and onions.

Different types of grills will present different types of flavors. Charcoal and smoker grills present a natural “smoked” flavor which is one of the most known tastes of barbequing. Smokers even allow you to control slight changes in the favor of the meat by using different types of woods. Alternatively, propane grills allow grillers to cook their meals faster, but still have a grilled flavor.

Some grills have the ability to come with many different types of cooking surfaces. These different cooking surfaces include a BBQ surface, a flat grill, and a ribbed grill. Some grills even offer these types of surfaces as none stick, which allow you to cook a whole array of foods that you would not be able to cook on a grill otherwise. You will be able to cook your whole meal, including side dishes if you plan correctly. Some gas grills even contain a Wok type surface for cooking pasta and rise dishes, or a full rotisserie set that allows you to cook rotisserie chicken.

Another reason barbequing is so popular is the fact that it gives you a reason to hold a party or celebration.

Outdoor parties not only allow your guests to be present during the cooking of the meal, but also give them the opportunity to be with friends.

Themed parties are always fun for your family and guests. Festive decorations can be found at any local party or general store. You may also consider purchasing decorations that can be stored and reused at a different time, such as reusable tablecloths and Tiki torches. Give your clambake a beach theme by adding tropical music and you may even consider adding some sand.

Finally, barbequing is popular because it can be considered a hobby as well. Barbequing, like anything else in life, takes time and practice. It can be fun to play and experiment with different techniques and recipes. Once you have developed a like for barbequing, then you can focus on creating your own variations on traditional recipes and ideas.

Barbequing is typically thought of as a summer event, but some diehard fans of barbeque will not think twice about breaking out their barbeque grills right in the middle of winter.

Tips for First Time Grill Owners

Grilling, or Barbequing is a true American tradition. Many Americans are finding themselves with a grill for the first time. Good experiences with your grill will surely lead to using your grill more and more.

Planning Ahead

Barbequing has been around since early cavemen figured out that food tasted great after being cooked on an open fire. Perhaps one of the main memories attached to a family barbeque is what was on the menu that day. Barbequing opens a whole array of types of foods available. The type of foods you serve should largely depend on your crowd and the event in which you are celebrating. With the wide range of possibilities, you are sure to find at least a few items that will please your crowd.

Another potential issue when barbequing is the weather. While you will not be able to guarantee that the weather stays nice your barbeque event, a certain amount of planning will help you avoid the days in which barbequing is just simply out of the picture. Watch the weather channel or check online for your weekly forecast. If rain or cold weather is likely on the day you were thinking about having your barbeque, it may be a good idea to wait for a better forecast.

Make sure that you prepare ahead for your barbeque. 12 to 24 hours before you plan on beginning the party, make sure to thaw, prepare, and marinate the meat you will be cooking. Once you have the meat stored away, soaking up the marinate, then you must start thinking about what types of side dishes you will be having. If you want a completely tradition barbeque, you may want to stick with traditional sizes. Traditional barbeque sides include potatoes, potato salad, baked beans, and coleslaw.

Maintenance

You will need some common household items on hand when it comes time to clean your barbeque grill.

1. Brass wire grill brush

2. Steel wool pads, preferably that contains soap already.

3. Mild dish soap

4. Sponge or dishcloth

5. Spray cooking oil

6. Dry baking soda

7. Aluminum foil

The first thing that should always be done to your grill is a routine brushing. Using your brass wire grill brush (or other brush suitable to your type of grill) you should brush off all the surfaces. By routinely brushing your barbeque grill, you will prevent any type of buildup. If buildup from food is left to long, it can become increasingly difficult to remove. Once you have cleaned the surfaces of your grill, then you must focus on its racks. The racks in your grill are especially important as this is where the food touches when it is cooking. You will have to use the wire brush to remove as much buildup as possible. Once you remove as much as possible, start washing the racks with dish soap. If the racks are really dirty, you may also want to use the steel wool pads. Be sure to completely rinse off all soap and residue before cooking on these racks again.

This process should be completed each and every time you cook on your barbeque grill. If these steps are not taken, you may find it increasingly difficult to clean your grill, and may find that damage will occur.

The majority of problems that arise from barbeque grills comes from lack of cleaning and maintenance. That means if you notice something does not seem quite right with your barbeque grill, chances are it can be fixed with just a simple cleaning. Even if you clean it, and still find that it is having problems, at least you saved yourself the potential embarrassment of taking it to a professional only to find out all it needed was to be cleaned.

Finally, one method of preventing problems with your barbeque grill is protecting it from the outdoors. Covers are available for grills in all shapes and sizes, so chances are, you will find one that fits your grill. If you have a cover for your barbeque grill, then all you will ever need to do is do the regular maintenance listed above.

How To Make The Best Grilled Chicken Ever

Soak or marinade your chicken in an Italian Dressing Marinade for at least four hours before you grill your chicken. Put the chicken pieces into a plastic pan with a lid for at least four hours covered with Italian Dressing before you cook the chicken on a hot grill. Always have your grill hot before you put your chicken on the grill. Spray your grill grates down with a vegetable cooking spray before the chicken pieces are put on the grill and have the grill hot.

While your chicken is cooking sprinkle it with salt, pepper, garlic, lemon juice and rosemary. You'll have some of the best chicken you'll ever eat in your life. You can garnish your chicken by sprinkling on more sprigs of rosemary and lemon wedges.I love this chicken served with broccoli and saffron rice.

Chicken Brunswick Stew

A twenty-five-gallon iron pot outside the coastal town of Brunswick, Georgia, bears a plaque declaring it to be the vessel in which this favorite southern food was first cooked in 1898. But there are people in Virginia who call this story B.S. claiming that Brunswick Stew was made in Virginia as early as 1730.

Chicken Brunswick Stew

Here you have a delicious recipe for Chicken Brunswick Stew.

Ingredients For Chicken Brunswick Stew

9. Two Cups Chicken Broth.

10. One Fourth Cup Fine Chopped Fresh Parsley.

18. Homemade Biscuits CLICK HERE FOR RECIPE

I love to put a split biscuit or two down on a plate and cover them with the hot Brunswick Stew. Oh man that's some good eating.

Instructions For Making Your Chicken Brunswick Stew

Rinse your cut up chicken pieces under cold running water. Then sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and paprika.

In a large deep skillet or sauce pan heat the olive oil and butter until hot.

Add the chicken pieces and fry until golden brown on all sides. Remove the chicken pieces with tongs and set aside.

Reduce the heat to low and add the onions, celery, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet or sauce pan and cook until all the veggies are done and soft but not browned.

Raise the heat a bit and add the tomatoes and their juice, the wine, chicken stock, parsley, hot sauce, and Worcestershire Sauce. Stir and bring to a boil.

Now return the chicken pieces to the skillet or sauce pan and use the tongs to push the chicken down in the sauce. Cover, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 45 minutes.

Add the corn and lima beans. Partly cover and cook thirty minutes more.

In a small bowl mix the flour with a little water to make a paste. Gradually stir in about a 1/3 cup of hot broth from the hot pan of stew. Stir with a wire whisk until you have it as smooth as possible.

Cook for 10 - 12 minutes until thickened.

Check the seasoning by tasting your broth. Add salt and pepper if you need to.

I suggest serving your stew over hot biscuits for the best taste. This Chicken Brunswick Stew is one of the best you'll ever taste.

Ground Sea Salt

I now use ground sea salt for all my recipes because it just has so much better flavor than regular table salt.

Brunswick stew is a traditional dish, popular in the American South. The origin of the dish is uncertain. Two places compete for originating it, in addition to claims to a German origin.

Ingredients

Recipes for Brunswick stew vary greatly, but it is usually a tomato-based stew, containing various types of lima beans/butter beans, corn, okra, and other vegetables, and one or more types of meat. Most recipes claiming authenticity call for squirrel or rabbit meat, but chicken, pork, and beef are also common meats. Some versions have a distinctly smoky taste. Eastern North Carolina Brunswick Stew has potatoes, which thickens it considerably. Eastern Virginia Brunswick Stew tends to be thinner, with more tomato flavor and less smoky flavor.The stew essentially resembles a very thick vegetable soup with meat. The key distinguishing factor between soup and Brunswick stew is the consistency.

Brunswick stew must be thick; otherwise, it would be vegetable soup with meat added. Most variations have more meat and vegetables than liquid.The main differences between the Georgia and Virginia versions have been the types of meat used. The Virginia version tends to favor chicken as the primary meat, along with rabbit. The Georgia version tends to favor pork and beef, along with squirrel. As there is no "official" recipe for Brunswick stew, it is possible to find chicken, pork, beef, and other types of meat included in the same recipe.

North Carolina natives have been known for their unique concoction, similarly thick and tomato based, using chicken-breast chunks and pulled Eastern North Carolina–style barbecue (pork) as the meat.
