Dry Rubs
We are now offering Dry Rub packets in our kitchen. The packets contain enough dry rub for
4 to 6 pounds of meat. They sell for $4.00. Compared to the packets available at local grocery stores, which are enough for 1 pound of meat (sell for $1.78) we think this is a pretty good value, and a convenient size to experiment with. This way, you haven't purchased 6 or so pricey spices that you may never use again or that will go bad before you have a chance to use them up!
You may also add a little olive oil to your rubs to make a paste. Have fun trying new ways to fix your regular cuts of meat.

Slow Cookers
With fall arriving we look forward to slow cooked meals. The size of your slow cooker truly affects the way your meal cooks. Smaller size meals (for 2-3 adults) should be cooked in a
3-4 quart slow cooker for the recommended time. Our cooking times are designed for the larger size slow cookers (5-6 quart) and larger size meals. Please take that into consideration when cooking your meals so you aren't dissappointed! Don't you just love coming home to dinner being ready and your home smelling so warm and inviting!

Grilled Eggs
Sweet Red Peppers sliced in half and cleaned. Lightly brushed with olive oil. Grill cut side (inside) first, just until starts to look roasted. Flip and carefully crack an egg inside the pepper shell. I also made "mini quiches' by whipping egg and adding a little cheese, ham and seasonings.
Cook until egg starts to firm up or quiche is set. Does take a little time, slower than cooking on the stove but worth the wait! They are amazing!

Pork
The FDA changed the cooking temperatures recently on pork. Pork chops and roasts now are to be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees. (Used to be 160 degrees). They feel a little pink is okay on roasts, chops etc. Remember, let your items rest at least 3 minutes before slicing.
Welcome!
I get asked a lot of cooking/food questions, so I thought maybe this would be an easier way to answer questions! So, here we go.....
