Recipe: BBQ Favourites
BBQ favourites! It’s not even the end of April and I’ve been barbecuing three times already – it’s awesome! Anyone else pull off the cover and fire up the grill?

BBQ Favourites Okay, the drumsticks with Carolina Gold BBQ Sauce – it’s tangy, a tad sweet and…

Recipe: Jalapeño Hamburger Hot Dogs
Jalapeño hamburger hot dogs! What? Yes. Why? Well, a few weeks ago I felt like hot dogs. So weird since that rarely happens. Now, I don’t eat red meat or pork, so I was on the hunt for Butterball turkey (and gluten free!) hot dogs. Do you think I had any luck? No. None. So, I grabbed some Butterball turkey bacon and some ground turkey and though, I can do this! Let’s get cooking. Ingredients 1 pound of ground turkey 1 egg 1/4 cup of…

It’s summer! Okay, maybe not officially, but the BBQ has been fired up and we’ve it 20+ some days already. That means it’s summer, right?

Ingredients: 12-15 drumsticks Carolina Gold BBQ Sauce That’s all you need – well, you could use store bought BBQ sauce, yet it’s not as good.

Recipe: Carolina Gold BBQ Sauce
Carolina Gold BBQ sauce – it’s mustard based and a tad bit spicy. Let’s get started and fire up the BBQ! Okay, I love mustard. Hot mustard is the only way to enjoy fries, and mustard on a chicken burger is just the right amount of zip. So, I wanted to try a BBQ sauce that was less sweet and more punchy – and here it is, this quick and easy gold sauce. Ingredients 1 cup of yellow mustard 1 tablespoon of agave 2 teaspoons…

Recipe: Flat BBQ Chicken
Flat BBQ chicken – it screams summer. Not only is it delicious and full of flavour, but it also cooks faster and more evenly than a whole chicken. A while back I made a flat chicken in the oven and said I wanted to try it on the BBQ – mainly I wanted to try and get close to the best chicken in Mexico. I can proudly say, this chicken is good – so good, and I’ve made it 3 times now, it’s that good.…
