Saucin’ It Up (GIVEAWAY)
February 15th, 2010When I went to Blissdom a couple of weeks ago I took 50 pounds of shredded pork BBQ with me.
NO, I wasn’t going to eat it by myself. Can’t believe ya’ll thought that! It was for the Country Party!
Anyway, Country Bobs sent all of the sauce to go on the meat. And OhMyStinkinHeck it was delicious. I may have cooked the meat, but the sauce made it! Country Bobs also sent each attendee to the party a bottle of sauce to take home and a coupon for a free bottle.
If you aren’t familiar with Country Bobs sauce, you need to get familiar. It is so good. They have BBQ sauce, an all-purpose sauce, a hot-n-spicy sauce and a seasoning rub. And their sauces are good on all types of meat. My whole family loves the sauce and since I had a few coupons left from the party, I would introduce your family to the sauce. So, I am going to have 5 winners, each will receive 2 coupons for a free bottle of sauce.
To enter, just visit Country Bobs recipe section in their site an leave me comment telling me how you would use the sauce. All entries must have a US mailing address.All entries must be received by NOON EST Thursday Feb. 25th, 2010. Winners will be selected by random drawing.

Now, thanks to Ocean Spray and Heinz there is a simple and easy recipe that can be prepared quickly to serve to all of your guests. And best of all, it is versatile.

With just three ingredients, Ultimate Party Meatballs are bound to be a hit with your guests.

Peking Roast
August 16th, 20095 lbs roast beef (3-5 lbs.) any cut will do
garlic, slivers
onion, slivers
1 cup cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
2 cups strong brewed coffee
2 cups water
salt and pepper
With a sharp knife, cut slits all the way through the roast and insert slivers of onions and garlic.
Put the meat into a bowl and slowly pour the vinegar over it so that it runs down the sides into the slits.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24-48 hours.
When ready to cook, pour the vinegar off.
Place the meat in a heavy dutch oven and brown in oil until very dark on all sides.
Pour the 2 cups of brewed coffee over the meat and then add 2 cups of water.
Cover and cook slowly for approximately 6 hours on top of the stove.
You may need to add more water at some point, so check it once in a while and add only a small amount of water at a time.
Season well, but do not add the salt and pepper until about 20 minutes before serving.
This was the most tender roast I have ever cooked. It just falls apart on you.

Rib-roaring
June 18th, 2009All I can say is Yummm!
Place your ribs on a rack
Rub em down! (HERE is my rub recipe, for ribs I always add about a cup of brown sugar to my recipe)
Coat them really well so that it will make a really nice crust.
Bake on 350 degrees for about 45 minutes.
If you are Tate you will drown them in sauce.
And if you are Tate you will need a gazillion napkins.
You don’t always have to have a grill to enjoy some really great ribs. This is one of our favorite foods and you can eat them with just the crusty deliciousness that a rub will make or you can add sauce for a fabulous treat.
The Couch is Calling
February 15th, 2009It is like a mad house here. This week is going to be very interesting. My Mom’s dog is mourning her absence, her cat is pouting and my animals are trying to figure out why we have all the extras. It is funny to watch all of their different reactions and moods. Today I am cooking THE MEAT. The Meat is oh so good and I had planned to cook it yesterday for our Valentine’s Day dinner but it just didn’t happen, instead we had our tournament and enjoyed the day in a different way than we had planned…so, we are having it today instead. It is a 5 hour process that is more than worth the effort. What did you do yesterday to celebrate?
Other than that I think we are going to be very lazy people that will perhaps require car lifts to even get us off of the couch. Lazy days are sometimes nice. And I think we are all in need of one here. I just hope the laundry doesn’t engulf us while we veg out. My poor house is a total mess and in need of a major Sping Clean but that will just have to wait for another day…for my couch is calling.
