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. Mesquite smoke-flavored chicken lives on my tastebuds. I've branched outside of good ol' Texas barbecue many times before. I've had Memphis-dry rubbed ribs… Continue reading Pulled Chicken with White BBQ Sauce
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
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.

I've even been known to dive head first into a few… Continue reading Pineapple & Pulled Pork Tacos

It's because our air conditioner went out late Saturday night, and Rob and I have spent the last two hottest days of the year (so far) with just the… Continue reading BBQ Chicken Bowls
Are you noticing a trend lately? A spicy, full-flavored trend? I've been on a Mexican food kick here for the past few weeks. I can't explain it. I guess it was inspired by the Cinco de Mayo holiday last weekend, and it's just continued from there. Most of the Mexican food I make is a… Continue reading BBQ Chicken & Sweet Potato Layered Enchiladas
