Twin Dr Pepper Briskets

More Chicken pics

These are more versions of my chicken breasts ideas. I used red pepper with cayenne and steamed with veggies.

Funnel Cake Donuts

Our kids the "Donut Crew" helped make these awesome funnel cake style donuts. Just get a can of buttermilk biscuits ,dip each bisquit in melted butter. Roll up the bisquit into a ball then flatten with a rolling pin . I took a juice bottle cap to cut the holes. Drop into the fryer at 375 and flip after a minute ,cook till golden brown. Drain for about 10 seconds then sprinkle some powdered sugar.

The taste ,is soo much like the carnival funnel cakes. I would stand inline for a half hour for those things. This was fun easy and quick to make. Total prep time and cook time is under 20 minutes. The Kids had a blast helping me and were proud of their own cooking skills.

Fire Roasted Land Critter

First of all this was a tastey experiment. I couldn't get the fire hot enough because lack of charcoal when I started the fire. So I just added two heaping tablespoons of bacon grease to the grates and watched a four foot tall flame arise. It spoke to me and said" Hey boy, put some chicken on me". I looked at the flame and said"but my chicken isn't marinated yet.The flame was angry "Go back inside .dip that chicken in some peanut oil and throw some brown sugar on it and bring it out here now! said the flame". So I did, and the flame had crawled back into the charcoal in a nice even 3 inch flame. I placed the chiken on till it was done, basting it with bbq sauce that I added more peanut oil too. It was amazing. The flame told me "good job , don't come back unprepared like that again ".

The Pirates of the....West Side of Fort Worth

Yaarrrghhhhh!!!!!!

Ok , I know your like "Uh....hmmmm whats that red stuff? This is imitation crab (made from a fish called pollock or also Hake). Its awesome with garlic butter and tastes just as good as lobster and crab.

You can spend a lot for some king crab to get meat like that or spend about 2 bucks for a 1 pound of imitation.

On the Grill

2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts

Fat Free Italian Dressing to marinate chicken

key limes to season both the crab and chicken

1 skewer

And some Peppers to roast just for fun. (watch your labels at the store kids before you eat peppers,just saying.)

Marinated the chicken in Fat Free Italian dressing , Key lime juice , Garlic powder and a dash of Kosher Salt. Then Marinated the crab meat in some " I cant' believe its not Butter spray" ,Garlic powder and Key lime juice. For the Pepper I coated it with peanut oil just before adding to the grill.

In the kitchen Cucumber salad.

This was a googled recipe mixed with my own twist.

1 cucumber peeled and sliced thin. ( you can chop the slices too)

1/2 Onion choped

2 tablespoons of veggie oil or peanut oil

2 tablespoons of white vinegar

3 pinches of Dill

Mix in a big ol bowl together and Kaboom you have a tastey instant side dish.

Bunch of Words:

This plate turned out awesome. You can always add bacon to the cumber salad or to the crab skewer.

Slow Smoked Carne Picada (Steak Ranchero)

Romaine and Green Leaf Lettuce

Chopped Onions

Pickled Artichoke hearts

Blue Cheese Crumbles

Mushrooms

Italian Dressing

"Flat Out" Bread (found in most stores)

1 Styrofoam plate ( optional)

This was a lot of fun to make. I had already cooked the meat the night before and just slapped this together in minutes. Instead of Carne Picada you can you use ,sliced Turkey,Chicken, or Grilled Eggplant.

STEAK RANCHERO: This is one of my favorites cuts of meat.Also known as Carne Picada, its cheap in bulk and cooks like fajita skirt meat.Its already cut up like Fajita so its easy to prepare and seasons well. This time I seasoned with just a little lime juice , Garlic powder and a dash of kosher salt. I let it sit for about 15 minutes then wrapped loosely in foil. My smoker was already still going from our kabobs so I took the opportunity to cook this for the next day. The temp was around 250 degrees, with applewood and hickory chunks. There is something I haven't mentioned in this blog and thats my pan of Water/apple juice/hickory chunks kept near the fire. This helps the smoke and tenderize the meat while it cooks. The meat was fully cooked and super tender in 2 hours.

WRAP: In case you have'nt been to a deli or over commercialized poser deli ,wraps are as easy as changing a babys diaper. You get you some wax paper, cut out about a foot. Place your wrap ,add your lettuce, then the dressing first. Then add eveything else and roll it up. I like to cut mine in half but in a 80 degree angle. It makes it looke like straight from my favorite Deli. ( and no ,its not promoted by a nerd or a talking toaster).

Bunch of words: I got involved in cooking at an early age but didn't perfect it till recently. My cravings for big name restaraunts everynight effected my bank account too much. So one night I was like, ok thats it . I can cook that at home and probably better too. I won my wife over with my version of Hooters Wings. She proposed to me just months later ,true story. Have fun with cooking and don't get frustrated just add more seasoning.
