There's something strange about "salads" in the South. I'm not talking about leafy green salads. I'm talking about the sides that people take to cookouts and parties. If you open a church cookbook, or a cookbook handed down to you from family, you'll find a rather large salad section that can sometimes be entirely void… Continue reading Corn Chip Salad

BBQ Pineapple Pork Chops
Pork has gotten so inexpensive lately. I bought a nearly 3-pound pack of sirloin pork chops the other day for $4.50. Name another meat you can get for that price. Go ahead. I'll wait. Beef is about that for 1 pound, more if you're getting better cuts. I can't hardly find chicken breast for less… Continue reading BBQ Pineapple Pork Chops
Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad
We're now entering that time of year where potlucks and parties are on a consistent basis. Cookouts, graduations, Memorial Day...it's all going on right now. If you're like me, you both love and hate this time of year. You love it because of the food, family, and fun. Hate it because your schedule is so… Continue reading Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad
Pulled Chicken with White BBQ Sauce
Being from Texas, I know barbecue. I mean, really understand it. I've grown up on brisket dinners and pulled pork cookouts. Sweet and spicy thick barbecue sauces are ingrained in my nature.

I've had Memphis-dry rubbed ribs… Continue reading Pulled Chicken with White BBQ Sauce
Lady Bird Johnson’s Barbecue Chicken
I've been bed-and-couch bound for the last 36 hours. A cold has hit me like a ton of bricks and I've been doing everything in my power to feel like a normal human being again. You know those jokes about how men are babies when they're sick? That's not just men. It's me. I turn… Continue reading Lady Bird Johnson’s Barbecue Chicken
BBQ Chicken Spaghetti Squash Boats
I've spent the last two days trying to readjust my sleep schedule. I usually work nights (11pm-7:30am), but for the next few days I'll be working in the land of the living. It's been more than a year since I've been to work when normal people are there. I'm so used to spending mass amounts… Continue reading BBQ Chicken Spaghetti Squash Boats
Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Cherry Pepper Mayo
I whipped out my slow cooker the other day. It had been far too long since I last used my favorite kitchen device. Far too long. I got a cutie Pioneer Woman slow cooker for Christmas, and probably have only used it a half a dozen times since then. I can't give you a good… Continue reading Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Cherry Pepper Mayo
