Summer is upon us, and that means pool parties, backyard BBQs and many holiday shindigs. And what says summer better than Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes?! That’s right! One of the best beverages made into a delicious handheld cup of cake. Also this one is sure to please a crowd of any age. What makes it special is…
Fig Salad with Duck Prosciutto, Goat Cheese and Balsamic Drizzle
Wow. I can’t believe it’s been just over a year since I came up to work visual effects in Vancouver, BC. The time really flew by. This recipe is something that I made when I first came up here after finding one of my favorite shops Home on the Range Organics. If you’ve been following…
BBQ Baby Back Ribs
Last month, Suz and I got some much needed time together. I had just finished up some pretty brutal hours working in Vancouver on Jurassic World. So when I was finally able to decompress and take some time off, I went down to Alabama for 2 weeks to relax and spend quality time with Suz….
Vanilla Sage Grilled Pork Chop
I’m going to be honest, I didn’t have a lot of pork chops growing up. When we did, we usually rocked the Shake n’ Bake method which from what I remember, the flavor was really good (most likely due to chemically enhanced seasonings like MSG) but seemed to be a crap shoot as to whether…
Smoked Pulled Pork
Last week we posted a super simple recipe for Cedar Plank Salmon on the grill. It was so good that we wanted to do another favorite of ours that involves cooking outside: Smoked Pulled Pork. Now, we’ve made a few things on the smoker in the past, from our own Home Cured Bacon, to Chicken…
Prosciutto Wrapped Melon
It’s officially Summer and that means that melons are in season! We’ve shared recipes in the past that feature the American Classic: Watermelon here and here before, but this recipe features my all time favorite. That of course, is cantaloupe. I don’t know why, but ever since I was a kid, I always preferred cantaloupe…
BBQ Flavored Pork Rinds
I have to admit, one of the things that I miss the most, especially in the summertime when BBQ’s are happening what seems like every weekend is a good salty, crispy, fried snack. Ever since switching to a lower carb paleo approach to deal with my epilepsy, chips are off the menu (not that they…
Bison Back Ribs with Sriracha Peach BBQ Sauce
This is something I’ve wanted to try for awhile. I haven’t made too many ribs in my paleo adventure, and there really hasn’t been a good reason as to why. With it being Memorial Day, one of the biggest BBQ days of the year, I figured now would be a great time to give them…
BBQ Pulled Pork
My family always has shredded brisket cooked in a CrockPot every summer. It’s kind of been the go to dish to feed the 9 of us (4 in my family and 5 in my cousins’ who grew up a short 6 blocks away) for any special occasion during the summer. We have plenty in the…
Cajun Smoked Chicken
This past weekend I tried my hand at using a tool that I’ve always wanted to use: a smoker. A few of my friends have one of their own and I always have to hear about how awesome the food is once it’s done. I have to admit, it made me very jealous and I…
