The tangy sweet heat of our Jalapeño Business sauce is an incredible pairing with trout - slightly smoky, bright citrus flavors with the funkiness of star anise, cardamom and other pungent flavors capped off a delicious sweetness that builds into a medium heat. How can you not be satisfied?

Green Chile Cheddar Hoecakes
When I first started dating Jenny decades ago, she introduced me to these things called hoecakes. At first, being the native northerner I am, I was skeptical. Hoecakes? You mean pancakes? Why are they hoecakes? You mean johnnycakes(I see you Mentor, Ohio)? Doesn't matter what you call them, any doubt quickly vanished after that first crunchy bite of these creamy beauties! Hoecakes have become a staple when we barbecue. Cornbread? Sure, alright but hoecakes are just better.

Slammin' Beef Jerky
This smoked beef jerky combines two of my favorite flavor profiles - the sweet and fruity heat of Jalapeño Business and the incredibly flavorful umami bomb of Somethin' To Beef About. I smoked it over cherrywood, which lends itself well to the fruity flavors of the marinade. This jerky turns out slightly sweet with a sneaky heat from jalapenos and aleppo chiles and the snappy tang of vinegar to balance it all out.

Steakhouse Style Egg Salad
Lately, I've been obsessed with eggs and the development of Somethin' To Beef About with its acidic, umami and spicy components only fueled that fire. I spent a decent amount of time a few weeks ago perfecting luscious, creamy, steakhouse style egg salad recipe. Quarantine, am I right?

Bacon Barbecue Cheese Ball
In our family, holidays, barbecues and get-togethers require a few things: deviled eggs, a charcuterie board, plenty of iced tea and some kind of cheese ball.
This is how we make our (in)famous bacon barbecue cheese ball. Served best with crackers but I love to use it as a replacement for pimento cheese on sandwiches!

Jenny's Banana Pudding
In my opinion, nothing tops off a barbecue quite like banana pudding; it's a Southern picnic staple and in my family, Mamaw's recipe is the only recipe. It's so good that Brian may even have proposed to me after I made it for one of his barbecues!
