Sausage Party

The sausage party is a great treat in the summer, instead of having a crappy hotdog, lets make a sausage, made just right, easy simple, but yet tastes amazing!

Phase 1 Boil The Sausages

Choose your sausages, you can get many different flavors at your local grocery store, but choose the ones that look good and think will taste good, start by taking a pot and boil some water, when the water is boiling start to boil your sauces until they are cooked.

Phase 2 Chop some veggies

I like Onions Red Peppers and Mushrooms, give them all a good rough chop, simple as that.

Phase 3 BBQ Sauce

We could use a simple store bought bbq sauce and it would be easy and done with, and please feel free to if you want, but we like to make things a bit more complicated as it tastes better and youll have a better reward at the end.

In a bowl mix in.

  1. Chinese BBQ Sauce.
  2. American BBQ Sauce.
  3. Dijon Mustard (You can use yellow if thats all you have.)
  4. Rice Wine Vinigar.
  5. Apple Cyder Vinigar.

Mix this well and set aside!

Phase 4 Cook the Veggies.

Cook your veggies down so they are soft but not caramalized.

Phase 5 Re Cook The Sausages

Take the sausages out and slice them up then mix them in with the BBQ sauce, and then fry them up till they are done, nothing to complicated here, you want them to be grilled good.

Phase 6 Fill The Bun

Take a larger hotdog bun, and put your sausages inside it, and then fill with some veggies, you shouldn’t need condiments on this as the BBQ sauce should still be dripping over the sausages that it should do the job fine, and your done!

This was short and sweet and simple, it doesn’t take a whole lot to do this and it tastes amazing, you can serve this with corn on the cob and some fries! You can add cheese on top if you like as well!

Burrito Bowl

Burrito Bowls are great, they are an amazing thing to sit down and share on a cold day, one of my favorite Mexican dishes and I believe everyone can enjoy this, yes, it does take time but not something you need to have a lot of skill to make, just time!

Phase 1 Chicken

Chunk up some boneless chicken breasts, you can use chicken thighs if you’d prefer.

Mix in 2 spoons of minced garlic, some liquid smoke (You don’t need a lot, or it will taste like a shoe.)

Lots of black pepper, some Lime juice, some honey, Paprika, onion powder, and some ground cumin.

Lets this marinate covered for at least 2 hours, for best results, 24 hours.

We used the slow cooker to cook this over 6 hours on low with a bit of wine, and apple cyder vinegar and some water.

Phase 2 Mexican Rice

Take a strainer and put in 2 cups of rice and rinse until the water is clean, this will clean the starch off of your rice and then make it, we used a slow cooker.

We then used a wok to cook the rice mix.

1 Onion and Jalopino put through the food processor and then added to the rice

We used 2 cans of drained corn into the rice.

And some lime juice and then a can of crushed tomatoes.

Mix this well and cook well.

Phase 3 Black Bean Mix

We put 2 onions in a food processor, and then to the frying pan we added 2 cans of black beans, and no we did not drain them we want the liquid, and added some paprika, pepper, cumin and garlic and cooked this till the beans were nice and hot.

Phase 4 Chipolete Mayo

In a food processor we added 3 cans of chipotle peppers in adobe sauce

In a bowl with your now pureed chipolete we added some lime juice, mayo (no miracle whip guys, please.) some sour cream, apple cyder vinegar mix well.

Phase 5 Plate

I would take a huge plate, and a very small bowl, in the small bowl put your mayo in and set in the center of your large plate, and then add every piece of the meal and display well

This is a great meal, you can make guacamole and add lots of different things to it, make it your own, burrito bowls are an amazing treat, and yes they do take some time to make, but its worth every moment, I know my wife loves it!

Apple Butter BBQ Sauce

Apple Butter BBQ Sauce is a great sauce to use on ribs steak, fish and anything, also good to use on toast, all around tastes amazing, and its not even hard to make, just takes time to do, and honestly, I would encourage you to try this!

Phase 1 Prep and Add

  1. Cut up 10 apples cubed and not peeled.
  2. 1 Onion.
  3. 1 Can of crushed tomatoes.
  4. 1 Orange.
  5. 1 to 2 Jalopino.
  6. Lots of black pepper.
  7. Salt.
  8. Lemon (Can use lemon juice, or squeeze a fresh lemon.)
  9. Garlic and ginger paste.
  10. Paprika.
  11. Cinnimon.
  12. Honey (You can use sugar, but honey is better and healthier.)
  13. Mustard.
  14. Cloves.
  15. Liquid smoke (Only use a small amount this will taste like a shoe if you use to much.)
  16. Apple Cyder vinegar.
  17. All Spice.

Add everything, apples being the last into a slow cooker, mix things every so often apples last, make sure its all mixed in the end, then you want it on low for 10 hours.

In the end you may need to use an emersion blender, or scoop into a blender to get it smooth if needed, I usually don’t but some times you will. Let it cool before putting in the fridge and you are good to go!

This is a great condiment, and honestly its not so common, but it is something that everyone will love.

What do you think, are you going to use this on your burger tonight? Perhaps on some chicken strips? We hope you enjoy!

Fettuccine Alfredo

Fettuccine Alfredo is a great dish, tastes amazing and one of the more expensive dishes you can get when you go out to eat, and how awesome would it be to be able to share this with your partner and server her a better dish than she would if you went out! I think your date would be super impressed.

Phase 1 The Noodles.

Cook the noodles as directions tell you, however when your done you want to save a bowl full of the water.

Phase 2 Garlic and Onion

Cut up your garlic and onion, start cooking them to caramelize them with salt and pepper. When they are done put them through a food processor to make them into a puree.

Phase 3 Chicken.

Cube the chicken and then cook it, just salt and pepper is fine.

Put it aside when done.

Phase 4 Lets get cooking!

Lets pour some oil in your wok (or large frying pan)

You want to have half a thing of butter, cut up to make melt easier.

Once the butter is melted or close enough dump some heavy cream in.

Then a bowl full of your pasta water (You can dump the rest now, but the flavor of the water is better than just using regular water.)

Pour in some onion and garlic puree, if you had too much you don’t have to have it all just what you want.

Have some grated cheese, I prefer to use blocks and just shred it on my own and on this I would use 1 block, you can use 2 half blocks of different cheese if you like.)

Add the cheese in slowly until its melted, and its important to keep stiring.

Add your chicken (if you prefer to do this vegan just skip the chicken all together.)

Now add your noodles, and at this point let it cook and simmer for another 5 minutes.

This is an awesome meal, and one to impress, its really not a lot of work, but to someone else it may seem like it, I hope you like, what do you think.

Sweet Thai Chili Tenderloin

Sweet Thai Chili Pork Tenderloin is one of my favorite cuts of meat, and as my friend Tony is famous for saying, eat like a pig,. Well Tony, I think I will, its not a hard thing to cook, takes some time yes, but its well worth it.

In here I’m using cast iron, if your not, it may take a bit longer, and when it comes to baking use a baking tray.

Phase 1 Get the loins ready!

You want to make sure that you are coating all sides with oil, minced ginger and garlic, and paprika salt and pepper.

Phase 2 Sauce me up baby!

In a bowl mix the following.

  1. Honey.
  2. Lo Salt.
  3. Cracked Pepper.
  4. Thai Chili Sauce.
  5. Apple Cyder Vinegar (only a small amount).
  6. Roasted Sesame oil (only a small amount).
  7. Dutch sweet soya sauce.

Mix it all up good,

Phase 3 Sear it.

Piece by piece sear all sides of it until its seared but not cooked.

Pre heat your oven to 400 degrees, (while cooking this take your time and pay attention to your food as everyone’s oven is different and you don’t want to burn this.)

Phase 4 Bake It!

Coat the top with the sauce, and then bake it for 12 minutes, after 12 minutes take it out and flip it and put more sauce over the next side and bake for the final 12 min.

Phase 5 Finishing it up!

Once its done cooking, wait about 10 minutes before doing anything, if you cut into it right away the juices are going to escape and it just won’t taste right!

After 10 minutes start slicing it into thin strips, and your done! Serve this with potatoes, maybe rice, what ever you want, and any veggie you want!

We hope you enjoy this, this is almost my favorite slice of meat ever!
