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…

Jalapeno Poppers
Okay, the poppers aren’t perfect and they are fattening – but they are oh so good! I’ve always been up front about my domestic impairment so you shouldn’t be surprised. I bet most all of you could do this and they would come out magazine-cover perfect. I consider my imperfection in cooking a free public…

Restaurant-Style Chicken Wings at Home!
My husband and I LOVE chicken wings both hot and bar-b-q. They can be very expensive at restaurants and besides, my husband is one of those people who does not like to go out to eat, especially chicken. He had a bad food-poisoning incident eating chicken at a restaurant once and refuses to order it…
