Bacon Cheeseburger Balls
After months of being notified that one of my pins had been repined, I finally decided to make the recipe. It looked good and sounded simple enough but I was afraid it might end up on a site like this hilarious one called Pintrosity. You can find it here: http://pinstrosity.blogspot.com/ My Tailgating food is from…
Rib Tacos
A week or so ago, I smoked some ribs and they were delicious! We had some left over and Mr. Picky-eater wanted to have more so I decided I would make something different with them. I took some tortillas out of the freezer (I buy in bulk cheaply and freeze them – beautiful!), grabbed a…

Sunday Night Fried Chicken
I don’t know about elsewhere, but in the South we each have our own favorite piece of fried chicken. For instance, my mom was born in the late 30’s and the youngest of 6 children. Her “favorite” piece of chicken was always the wing (and the neck) because that was all that was left –…
A Head Country Sunday Night Supper
As I have told you before, supper is a big deal in the South most weeks. I decided to make ribs with some more of that Head Country rub that I told you about. You can find it here: http://www.headcountry.com/catalog/10 . A 6 oz. bottle of it is $3.50, so it is very cost effective….
