Happy Labor Day Y'all With Oven B.B.Q. Ribs It Can Be Done

Hello to all my foodies friends out there in web land and today we are going to talk about making some ribs by using the oven roast and you will be ready to link your fingers tomorrow when you try these in the oven.  Easy and tasty for anyone to cook your meats this way.  Happy Labor Day and am grateful for a day off.  The pictures am using a couple from the TV show like the B.B.Q. Corn cooked in the husk right on the pit and the pork with the Baked Beans and Potato Salad is from another shoot.  Heck I make Barbecue in my oven all the time.  Am going pass on a rub I want you to try your hand at and also when you rub your meat let it rest a few hours before roasting it.  Always let your meat rest for about 10 minutes before cutting into it, this helps retain your juices and with pork I'd like to see you cook it on about 325 degrees in a pre-heated oven.  It will take about 3 hours cooking time to get them tender.  Now you can use a bone in spareribs or a boneless.    If you are using a fresh Ham it will take longer to cook because you want to be able to pull your meat.  You add a Sauce to your meat in the last thirty to forty five minutes of your cooking time.  You cook it on a rack in a raised rim  pan like a cookie sheet and its cooked uncovered.  You can see that its tender by using a fork inserted into the meat and it pulls apart or you can pull on the rib bones and it should release easy.  Any who enjoy your families and friend this Labor Day Monday.

1 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Cups Smoked Paprika

Mix all ingredients and rub both sides of ribs and let it rest about 3 hours before roasting in the oven.  Roast on a rack in a rimmed baking pan.  Sauce with your favorite sauce the last thirty to forty minutes of roasting.  Let rest for about 10 minutes before cutting or serving. It may take about 2 1/2 to 3 hours cook time so taste your ribs after two hours.  All oven are different with cook times.

Making Peanut Butter Balls & Yogurt Dip for The Watchman Channel Club 36

Hello to all my foodies friends out in web land and hope all is well.  Today am going to give you a couple of my recipes one is called Peanut Butter Balls and another one is Peanut Butter Yogurt Dip that you serve with fresh fruits which is very tasty indeed.  Both these dishes I made on a shoot last week for Channel 49 out of North Augusta WBPI I believe is the station letters.  Any who I came from a family of six kids, five girls and one boy.  I don't know if you come from a large family or not but its first come first serve at our house.  My mom and dad went to the store only once a week and if you didn't get to the good stash within the first two or three days you'd have to wait to get snacks on the next run to the store.  I did have sisters that would stash food away and hind it from you and they know if I mean.  Any who I would make up recipes for good snacks for after school days and this is one I made up.  Also I made this for the shoot on Club 36 with Dorothy Spaulding and Tamara they wanted snacks for kids after school treats.  I do have a story from the show the producers name is Jim and I had made the Balls and was p putting them into the refrigerator to rest and unknown to me he stash one off the tray and went in the back to try it out.  Well when Tamara asked me to pull them out for the camera I tilted the tray thinking I had lost a ball in the corner.  So I said to Tamara that the picture will be off because I dropped one of the balls and Jim started laughing and was telling me on camera that it went to the back to be tested.  That was a good laugh, I didn't even see them take it  You can make these with Syrups or Honey.  I used honey in this recipe.  If you use local honey for your kids it will help with there allergies if they have any.  I served the yogurt recipe with fresh fruits like sliced Banana's and Strawberries filled with Whipped Cream and a Blueberry on top.  Also the photo is of my friend Peggy Parnell making her famous Skillet Corn which is awesome dish for the holidays.

Honey Peanut Butter Balls

1 Cup Peanut Butter
1 cup Honey
1 cup crushed Saltines
1 cup minced Chocolate Chips
1 Cup chopped Nuts
1/2 cup Powdered Sugar

This makes about 12 to 18 balls.  Mix the peanut butter, honey and crackers until blended.  Roll into balls with greased hand.  Roll into the chocolate chips, nuts, and powdered sugar.  Place in the cooler for about 20 minutes and then they are ready to eat.  Your kids will love making these.

Peanut Butter Yogurt

1 cup Vanilla Yogurt
3 TBSP Peanut Butter
2 TSP. honey

Mix all together and serve with fresh fruits for your kids to enjoy.

Last of Summer Italian Fried Okra

Hello to all my foodie friends hope that all is well with your summer.  I've been busy with products and selling products along with some catering.  Next Tuesday the 19th I'll be joining Channel 49 out of North Augusta filming another TV Cooking show and lookin very much forward to it.  You may watch it on the web and it will air at seven on the 19th and you can goggle The Watchmen Channel for those of you that can't watch it  We are going to be making some snacks for the kid-o's and show a couple recipes for frozen Crock Pot dinners for you busy mom's and Dad's out there after all when you work all day and come home and take care of you and kids it's nice not to have to do much in the kitchen but the clean up.  I want to say that we have had great luck with our garden this year with all the bounty I've taken out of it.  I say great chicken poop.  Also I'd like to tell you that if you haven't cooked much fresh okra then the thing to know is that if you can't cut it throw that one out.  Its to woody to cut or eat save that one for making some rope.  Also I'd like to say how sad I was to hear about Robin Williams passing along with Lauren Bacall.  What a gift they both had however you know I think that the greatest gift that you have in life is laughter and Robin Williams did make the whole world life but to bad he couldn't fix himself.  He will be truly missed for that one thing alone.
I also much enjoyed the movies that I used to watch on TV starring Lauren Bacall.  any who that said let's make some fried Okra, yum yum.

Italian Fried Okra

1 cup flour
1/2 cup corn meal
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp red pepper spice
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 cup Buttermilk
1/2 pound Okra cut in 1" slices

Mix all the dry ingredients together.  Dip the sliced okra into the buttermilk and then the flour mix, coat even
Heat about 1/2 inch oil in a frying pan.  Drop the dipped okra into the pan and cook it until its brown on both sides.  Serve warm

Hope you enjoy this recipe and email me at madjon51@aol.com if you have any questions.  Want to thank everyone that's like my fan page on Facebook at Cooking With MadJon & Friends.  Happy trails to you until we meet again.  Madjon.

Sauce or Salad Dressing Sherry for Greens Strawberry's or Meat

  Sherry Sauce or Salad Dressing

1/4 cup Olive Oil

1/4 cup Cooking Sherry

1 tsp. Onion and Garlic Powders

1 tsp. Salt

1 TBSP Sugar

This is called a Sauce Dressing for Strawberry or mandarin Orange Salad.  Walnuts roasted are nice to add with this dish.

Directions:

Mix all ingredients and pour over Salad or use to grill your vegetables with.

Hello foodies out there hope all is well in web land am sending you this recipe because it is great used as just a dressing or for grilling your vegetables.  Remember when you make this sauce the trick is you add the sherry and all your spices and herbs first then you add the oil last that way all the spices, sugar and herbs blend in your dressing  You can also try adding some Lemon Juice like a TBSP to this mix and it will smooth it out for you.  I used this on some grilled corn for one of my shows a few years back.  When I grilled the corn I first blanched the corn for about ten minutes in water then I wrapped the corn in Bacon.  Salt and peppered the corn.  Then I brushed the sauce over the corn and grilled it.  They loved it that way and the corn was moist not black and charred when we grilled it.  Please give this recipe a try and if you have any questions concerning a recipe e-mail me at madjon51@aol.com  Come like my fan page or join me on twitter at @madjon51.  Happy trails to you until we meet again.

Les Marmitons Tomatillos Soup

Spicy Chicken and Tomatillo Soup 

A Tomatillo is like a green Tomato and is from Mexico.  It has a thin husk on the outside of it and it needs to be removed and wash the tomatillo before slice or cutting to remove anything sticky of the outside of it.

Also if you are adding any kind of pepper to this dish you need to spray a pan and place your peppers on the pan and roast them in your oven.  Turning them while they brown in the oven.  Then when they are tender place them in a paper bag closed for about ten minutes then you will be able to remove the skin.

serves 6

2 chicken breast

1 pound Tomatiios, husked cleaned and chopped

1 oniion, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp. dried Oregano

1 tsp. onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

2 chile peppers

2 cups water

3 cups chicken broth

1/2 cup potato flecks

Salt & Pepper to taste

Sour Cream 

In a large pan over medium heat, add chicken, onion, garlic, tomatillos, oregano, chilies pepper water potato flecks and chicken stock.  Optional to you is to use 3 chicken bouillon cubes cooked in the stock as well    Cover and bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer.  When the chicken is tender remove it to cool and when its cooled down pull the meat apart.  Then blend your broth till its smooth.  Then add your cilantro into the pot and add back your chicken.  Serve with some tortilla chips in the bottom of your bowl before adding your soup.  Then place the sour cream on top of that.  Bon'a Y'all

This is my fourth try getting this blog up and running tonight.  So am going to make this fast before I lose it all again.  The Les Marmitons is a men's cooking club and they have them world wide.  I think they have like six of them in the Atlanta area alone.  They are a lot of fun to work with and they do Charity events  My team worked on the Peach Cobbler and I had them make a Peach Syrup with some Peach Rum thrown into the mix.  The reason for that is because the peaches were not ripe and were very tart.  All peaches are not the same.  When you slice your peaches make sure that the slice is large enough so when your cobbler is cooked the peach still has some firmness to it.  Also taste your recipe before placing your cobbler into the crust.  Like I say not all peaches are created equally  The Peach Cobbler recipe is on this blog.  Please go like my fan page on FB at, Cooking With MadJon & Friends.  Happy trails to you until we meet again.
