Victory Lane Pasta Salad

I found this awesome pasta recipe on the Race City Sauce Work's website when I was looking for hot sauces.


The recipe uses their Victory Lane Jalapeño-Sour Apple hot sauce, which is a great, thick sauce with a nice balance between hot and sour. We really like it.

I did make a small change to the recipe. We made the salad with bow tie, which ended up getting a little dry so I drizzled just a little extra virgin olive oil over it before serving. Next time I'll either not drain the pasta as much or I'll retain some of the pasta water to keep the salad moist.

Makes: 8 servings
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes (chill time)

Black Bean Cakes with Guacamole and Lime Crema

My picture of these cakes definitely does not do them justice. They have a nice crispy exterior with a soft, tasty middle. The lime crema and guacamole compliment the beans just right.


I used dried black beans and soaked them overnight before cooking them in 3 parts water and 1 part chicken stock, with a ham hock thrown in for good measure. You can also just quick cook the beans.

The original recipe came from Emeril Lagasse.

Makes: 6-8 cakes
Prep time: 15 minutes (does not include bean soak or cook time)
Cook time: 20 minutes
Printable Recipe

Ingredients:

3. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the remaining beans and gradually add the unseasoned flour until the mixture becomes firm enough to form a loose ball.

4. Add salt, pepper and hot sauce. If mixture becomes too firm, add some more of the cooking liquid.

5. Form cakes into 4-ounce cakes using an ice cream scoop.

6. Dredge cakes in seasoned flour and cook in a large skillet heated to medium heat with olive oil added. Cook for 3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.

7. To serve, place lima crema on a plate, top with black bean cake and top with guacamole.

Delta Cole Slaw

I'm not sure what makes these 'Delta', but this is my new go-to slaw. It really is good.


We've had this mounded up on smoked sausage sammies, by itself, and piled high on hamburgers. I'd even put it on ice cream, I like it that much!


The original recipe came from Emeril. I saw him make it on Emeril Live and thought 'I have to make that!'.

Happy Blogiversary!

Today is our one-year blog anniversary. We've made a lot of good food and look forward to another year of great recipes, trips and great times together. Thanks to everyone that stops by.

Grilled Chicken Breasts with Shiitake Mushroom Vinaigrette

This may be my favorite grilled chicken recipe now. The mushroom vinaigrette is very good.



I got the recipe from something Bobby Flay put together, but I warn you, the recipe on the Food Network web site is incorrect. I have posted the corrected recipe below. I should add that I used two large, boneless chicken breasts that I first butterflied. The original recipe calls for 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts.

Makes: 2 servings
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Printable Recipe

Ingredients:

• 5 large shiitake mushrooms, stems removed
• 6 T canola oil
• 1 t whole-grain mustard
• 3 T balsamic vinegar
• 3 T extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 T parsley, chopped, plus more for garnish
• 2 shallots, diced
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, butterflied

1. Heat grill to high.

2. Brush mushrooms on both sides with 4 T of the oil. Place on grill cap side down and grill until slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Turn over and grill until just cooked, about another 4 minutes. Remove from grill and chop.

3. Whisk together the shallots, vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, mustard, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Add the mushrooms and stir to coat. Let sit at room temperature while you cook the chicken.

4. Brush both sides of the chicken with the remaining oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until done. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

5. Serve chicken topped with vinaigrette and garnish with parsley.

Ozark Sloppy Joes

I was thinking about Sloppy Joes the other day for some reason. I wanted a new twist on the old classic. I found this recipe over on Taste of Home and it turned out great.


The Worcestershire sauce really brings a lot of great flavor to this dish. Super easy to make.

I normally make a recipe exactly as written the first time I make it. Then I start to play with it the next time I make it. I think I might make this with a roasted poblano instead of a green pepper next time.

Makes: 6 servings
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Printable Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
• 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 t sugar or Splenda
• 1 1/2 t all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 t Italian seasoning
• 1/2 t chili powder (or more, to taste)
• 1/4 t salt
• 1/4 t garlic powder
• 1/8 t cayenne powder (or more, to taste)
• 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
• 1 1/2 t Worcestershire sauce
• 6 hamburger buns

1. Cook the beef, peppers and onions in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain.

2. Stir in the remaining ingredients (except the buns) and simmer for 10-15 minutes.

3. Serve over toasted buns.

Grill-Top Shrimp "Boil"

This is a take on a recipe by Steven Raichlen. I saw him make it on an episode of BBQ University.


The sauce with these shrimp is insanely good. You'll want to have lots of garlic bread for sopping. Trust me.

Makes: 6-8 servings
Prep time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Printable Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 lbs 16-20 count shrimp, in the shell, deveined
• 3 T Old Bay seasoning
• 3 T Cajun seasoning
• 1 T ground coriander
• 1 T black peppercorns, cracked
• 1-3 t cayenne pepper (to taste)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 6 T fresh lemon juice
• 1 can (12 oz) beer
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 3/4 cup corn syrup
• 6 T Worcestershire sauce
• 2 thin slices lemon with rind, seeds removed
• 4 T hot sauce
• 2 T brown sugar
• 4 cloves garlic, smashed
• 1 1/2 sticks butter cut into 1" pieces
• 1 Large aluminum pan (large enough to hold the shrimp and some sauce)
• Garlic bread, for sopping

1. In a small bowl, combine the Old Bay, Cajun seasoning, coriander, peppercorns, and cayenne. Reserve 1 1/2 T for the sauce to be made later.

2. Combine oil and 3 T of the lemon juice and pour over shrimp that has been rinsed and patted dry and placed in a large baking dish.

3. Sprinkle rub over shrimp. Coat well. Cover and marinate in fridge for 1 hour.

4. Prepare the sauce by pouring the beer into a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil, uncovered, until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.

5. Add the cream and simmer, reducing by half, 7-10 minutes.

6. Add the corn syrup, Worcestershire, lemon slices, hot sauce, brown sugar, garlic, the remaining lemon juice, and the reserved rub. Mix and let boil until thick, about 6 minutes.

7. Add the butter, piece by piece, while stirring. Heat until butter is completely melted.

8. Season, reduce heat and let set until needed. Do not return to a boil.

9. When the shrimp are ready, heat a grill to high heat and oil the grates.

10. Dump the shrimp onto the grill and cook 1-3 minutes per side or until pink and firm. You could also skewer the shrimp and grill them that way if you prefer. I just tossed them all on to the grill at once and used tongs to turn them.

11. Transfer shrimp to the aluminum pan and place it on the grill. Pour in the sauce and let simmer for 1-2 minutes.

12. Serve shrimp with sauce over them along with garlic bread for sopping.

Grilled Avocado Guacamole with Homemade Tortilla Chips

I was pretty skeptical when I ran across this recipe from Michael Chiarello. I actually like a lot of what he does. But, a guacamole with basil? Seemed intriguing but also... scary.


So, I made some quick and easy tortilla chips while Anita made the guac. We both agreed that it was fantastic. It won't replace traditional guac in our house, but it'll be a strong favorite. We really liked it and recommend it as a change from what you're used to in a guacamole.

If you don't want to make your own chips, use good bagged chips. Homemade chips are super easy to make, and much better tasting. Give them a try!

For the guacamole:

Makes: 4-6 servings
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cool time: 5 minutes
Printable Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 ripe avocados
• 4 T extra virgin olive oil, divided
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 1/2 T garlic, minced
• 6 T fresh basil, julienned
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan

1. Preheat grill to medium high.

2. Pit and peel the avocados. Place in a bowl and drizzle with the lemon juice and 2 T of the oil. Sprinkle with S&P to taste.

3. Place avocados on grill and grill for 1 minute on each side. Remove to cool.

4. In a skillet heat the remaining 2 T of oil and saute the garlic until starting to brown.

5. Add the basil and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.

6. Transfer basil/garlic mixture to a large bowl and add in the avocados. Mash the avocados with a fork.

7. Add the sour cream and Parmesan and stir well. Serve immediately with chips.

For the tortilla chips:

Makes: 4-6 servings
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• Oil for frying
• 10 or more corn tortillas, cut into quarters
• Salt

1. Heat 2" oil in a skillet or Dutch oven to 360F.

2. Place 4-6 tortilla quarters in oil and cook for 1 minute per side.

3. Remove to paper towel-lined plate and salt well. Continue with remaining tortilla quarters.

Grilled Alaskan King Crab Legs

Well, there's good and then there's really, really good.


I haven't had king crab legs in ages. When the local grocery put them on sale a week ago I snatched up several pounds worth. I've never had them grilled. I doubt I'll have them any other way after grilling them. Not only do you get that nice char aroma, but also the leg shells break very easy, making getting at the meat much easier. And that's what it's all about!

To grill them, preheat your grill to medium-high. Brush the legs with oil and grill 5 minutes per side. Keep an eye on the fire since the oil will tend to cause flare-ups. Keep a spray bottle of water nearby, or be prepared to move the legs around to avoid burning them.

To make the clarified butter, melt a stick in a skillet until it separates. When the solids begin to brown, remove from the heat and pour through a find sieve or a damp cheesecloth.

Hot Dog Fatties

This idea came to me the other day. I was thinking about a chili dog, and somehow this is what came out. No chili. But, you could add that.


I'll probably take it further next time by adding some relish. That's not to say that it isn't awesome as it is. We didn't have any large dogs, so we ended up using two smaller ones.

Makes: 4 servings
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 3 1/2 hours

Ingredients:

• 1 lb roll ground sausage
• 1 1/2 pound hot dog, or two bun length dogs
• 1/3 cup white onion, diced
• 1 T butter
  
• 6 slices American cheese
• 4 T Cajun Power Spicy Garlic Mustard (or other good mustard)
• 1/2 cup sour cream

1. Fire up the grill and grill the hot dog.

2. Saute the onion in the butter until soft.

3. Roll out the sausage as per our standard fattie recipe.

4. Place the dogs, onion and cheese on the fattie and roll it up and smoke it for 3 hours.

5. In a small bowl, mix the mustard and sour cream. Slice the fattie into small rounds and dip into the mustard sauce.

Roasted Tomato and Jalapeño Chorizo Fatties

Oh, me. When you need some kick in your fattie, this is the way to go!


You'll need a 1 pound roll of chorizo. Our supermarket has them right by the pork sausage rolls.

Makes: 4 servings
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 3 1/2 hours

Ingredients:

• 1 lb roll of chorizo sausage
• 2 large jalapeños
• 2 Roma tomatoes
• 1 8oz round of Chihuahua cheese, or other good melting white cheese, shredded

1. Fire up your grill to high heat and roast the jalapeños and tomatoes. Place into a baggie, seal, and let set for 15 minutes. Remove the skins (and seeds, if desired) and dice.

2. Roll out the chorizo as per our standard fattie recipe.

3. Mix the peppers, tomatoes, and cheese together in a bowl and place into your fattie piston. Let cool in fridge for 15 minutes.

4. Assemble fattie and smoke for 3 hours. Serve with salsa and enjoy!

Homemade Pickle Relish

I could sit down with a bowl of this relish and have it for lunch. Seriously. It's just that good.


There won't be any more store-bought relish around here after making this recipe from Bobby Flay. Use good quality pickles and don't skip roasting the peppers.

Makes: 4-8 servings
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes plus 1 hour cooling time
Printable Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
• 1 t mustard seeds
• 1 t coriander seeds
• 2 T sugar (or Splenda)
• 8 large sour dill pickles, finely diced
• 1 small red pepper
• 1 small yellow pepper
• 1 small white onion, diced
• 2 T chopped fresh dill

1. Heat grill to high and roast the peppers. Let cool slightly. Remove skins and dice finely.

2. Bring vinegar, mustard seeds and coriander seeds to a boil in a medium non-reactive pan.

3. Cook until reduced by half and thickened slightly.

4. Remove from heat and add the remaining ingredients. Whisk together well and season with salt and pepper.

Breakfast Fattie

Just take your standard fattie and stuff it with scrambled eggs and shredded Tillamook cheddar.

I used about 2 cups of eggs and 1 cup of cheese. Next time, I'll go for more cheese. You can't be too cheesy. And bacon. Bacon might be a good addition, too. Either way, a great fattie!

Maple Dijon Roasted Brussels Sprouts

When we made Brussels sprouts in the past, we would just roast them and sprinkle them with a little salt and pepper.

Not any more.

BBQ Bites

I had some Phyllo cups left over from the shrimp recipe I did a while back, and some leftover pulled pork, so I thought... BBQ bites.


I took some pulled pork and put it in the food processor and pulsed it just a few times. I spooned that into the cups and topped with Tillamook cheddar. Popped them under the broiler for just a sec to melt the cheese then topped with some Russ and Franks Sassy sauce.

Missouri Hick BBQ, Cuba, MO

Mmmmmm, good!

We were making a trip from Indy to Fayetteville AR (Go Hogs!) and were on the hunt for some good BBQ on the way. We came across a sign on I-44 for Missouri Hick BBQ in Cuba, Missouri. The restaurant is located on historic Route 66, about 2-3 miles off the interstate. It's well worth the drive, too.

The place has a nice atmosphere, with what look like handmade carved wooden chairs. All well done. It definitely has character.

And hey, with placemats like these, you know you're in for something good!


Service was prompt and pleasant. Anita ordered the pulled pork sandwich, with German potato salad. The potato salad was served warm. It had a nice mustard flavor and was very, very good. The pulled pork was as you'd want: moist and tasty with just the right amount of smoke.

I had the brisket sandwich with poppy seed coleslaw. The brisket was very tender, moist, and very tasty. Nice smoke ring and smoke flavor. And the coleslaw was outrageously good. I love jalapeño or green bell pepper in my slaw. This slaw had red onions in it. The dressing was just sweet enough that it really went well with the kick of the onion. I'd seriously return to Missouri Hick even if all they had on the menu was the slaw.

There were 5 BBQ sauces on the table, ranging from sweet and smoky to spicy. We found them all to be good, but of course our favorite was the spicy. I even bought a bottle to bring back home.


So if you're in the area, stop on by. And no matter where you are, visit your local (or not so local) BBQ joint. You'll be glad you did!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Update: We stopped at Missouri Hick again recently on the way to Northwest Arkansas. I ordered the large brisket sandwich and the poppy seed slaw. The brisket was tender, tasty and smoked perfectly. The slaw is addicting. Very addicting.

Missouri Hick is a really great BBQ joint. They have a large menu, great service, and the prices are right!

Grilled Peruvian Purple Potatoes

I love purple potatoes. Actually, I love potatoes period. There are hundreds of varieties of potatoes, but here in the US you're lucky if you can find more than four in the grocery store.


I par boiled these then skewered them and finished them off over hot coals. Brushed them with a bit of melted butter, and sprinkled with S&P. Really good eats.

The color of these potatoes is really fantastic. I tried to make them popsicle style, but they fell off the skewers. My fault since I wasn't using my flat skewers. What was I thinking?

Grilled Pizzas

We decided to give grilling pizza a shot for the first time. I have no idea why we waited so long, because the final product was fantastic!



We made two different kinds of pizza. A grilled hot Italian sausage and mozzarella pizza with homemade sauce (see our sauce recipe here), and a grilled shrimp and cilantro pesto pizza. I was surprised by how much I really liked the cilantro pizza the most. Anita preferred the sausage pizzas. All of the pizzas were made over homemade crusts which we then grilled.

These are the two hot Italian sausage pizzas:
