Labor Day End Of Summer Let's make Some Bar-B.-Q Hash

Hello web land foodies it's me again and am wishing you a very happy Labor day full of fun, sun, and foods.  One of the foods that are most popular is what we call here in South Carolina as Bar-B-Q Hash which is made from Pork Butt mixed with Potatoes, Onions, and a sauce which am going to share with you today.  Also I want you to know that the word Hash is a verb, French, and means to chop.  I will also credit any B.B.Q. techniques to the Native Americans in the 17th century.  There are lots of places in our area to get good Hash which one is Duke's B.B.Q.  located on Whiskey Road in Aiken and I must say they do have some great sides to go with the Hash.  If your making B.B.Q. at home this Labor Day your sides can be, Potato Salad, Cole Slaw, Collard's, Macaroni and Cheese, and Banana Pudding for dessert.  I'd like to also add that all of these dishes I have recipes for on my blog just go search it.  Any who I hope you enjoy this recipe, friends, and family.

Bar-B-Q Hash South Carolina Style

1 Pork Shoulder,  rubbed with Salt, Pepper, Onion & Garlic Powder
add 1 chopped Onion, 6 cloves minced Garlic to: while the meat is simmering add
5 peeled diced Potatoes.
Slowly simmer in a pot with a little water until the pork is fork tender.

Sauce:
1 small can Tomato Paste
1/2 can Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 cup Brown sugar
3/4 cup corn syrup
3/4 cup Ketchup
1/2 cup mustard
1 bottle smoky flavored BBQ Sauce
Few drops Tabasco
1 TBSP Worcester Sauce
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp Salt
2 tsp Onion an Garlic Powders
1 TBSP Chile Powder
2 tsp. liquid smoke

Simmer all ingredients for about an hour and add sauce to the chopped pork when its tender.  Serve over Rice.

Hope you enjoy this recipe, Bona' Y'all.  Happy trails to you until we meet again.  Taking of until after Labor Day.

Hello to all my foodie friends out there in web land hope all is well.  This is a great Saturday here in South Carolina to be enjoying our weather.  Still hot out side but not too hot if you know what I mean.  I don't know how you spent your Saturday but I watched my hubby and our friend George trying to put my grand daughters Honda back together after they replaced some parts and I guess working on that car got the best of them both.  They said they'd never buy a Honda because there to hard to work on but it helps if you have the correct tools while replacing parts.  Any who so while my daughter and I went shopping she mentioned that she would like some Olive Soup and so here is what I made for her.  I hope you enjoy this dish and its so easy to toss into a crock pot.  

Mediterranean Olive Chicken Soup

2 cubes Bouillon
1 cup Carrots, ringed
2 Bay Leafs
1 tsp. Onion and Garlic powders
1 tsp. Black Pepper

Cut up your boneless chicken breast.  Place the meat into a crock pot.  To the pot add the cut leeks and chopped onions and mix.  Add the garlic, bouillon, black pepper, carrots, bay leafs, green olives, onion and garlic powders, and carton of chicken broth, stir.  Cook on high until the chicken is nice and tender.  Serve with some Corn Bread.

Indirect Heat B.B.Q. Turkey Breast Wine, Thai Peanut Marinade

Hello foodies its Madjon again on a Friday night which also happens to be our night to play some bride, boys against the girls.  The girls lost two out of three rubbers, really, sometimes the cards just don't go your way.  Any who on bridge night we also have the pressure of cooking up some good grub.  If you don't know what Grub means here it is: Slang, something fit to be eaten.  This grub definitely was.  On the menu was B.B.Q. Thai Peanut Turkey Breast, Sweet Potatoes, Steamed Squash, cut Green Beans, and cookies Lemon Macedonian Nut.  It made our tongues want to lick our bellies.   Any who am here tonight to share this wonderful recipe and am hoping you enjoy it at one of your game nights.

B.B.Q. Thai Peanut and Wine Turkey Breast

1 Turkey Breast, thawed
1 cup white wine
1/2 to 3/4 cup Thai Peanut Marinade, brand of your Joice
1 tsp. Onion Powder
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Seasoned Salt
Salt and Pepper to taste

Mix your white wine, thai marinade, onion powder, garlic powder, and seasoned Salt until well blended.  Salt and Pepper your turkey breast.  Using a food injector,  inject the sauce mix into the turkey breast, as much as you can inject.  whatever sauce is left over pour it onto your breast during its cooking time.  Place turkey in a pan to B.B.Q. on indirect heat, meaning your cooking with only half the heat.  You cut one side of the pit off and then place the meat on the side with no flame under it.  Then cook the meat until it reaches a temperature of 165.  I do turn down the flame to low after my meat is about half way cooked.  Let the meat rest for about 15 minutes.  Now your ready to cut your meat ans serve.

Untitled Love Sweet Dreams Summer's Best Peaches and Chicken

Hello to all my foodies friends out there on the web.  Its been an exciting and sad Sumner this 2015 for me and my family.  First there was the loss of my Father-in-Law unexpectedly in June while we were visiting them in Texas.  We are so grateful to have been there when he passed to say hello and good-bye.  He was 87 at the time of his passing, RIP Dad.

Now on to a happy time which our niece got engaged this past couple while they were in Hawaii and I want to say Congratulation to the Happy couple and looking forward to the wedding at the end of January.

Any who here is a recipe I made up for a catering job that I had the pleasure of serving up some baked Chicken and Peaches.  Its not to late to make this dish with some of, "Summer's best Peaches".


Baked Chicken and Peaches

1 whole Chicken, cut up
Salt & Pepper the chicken
1 cup flour
1 TBSP Garlic Powder
1 TBSP Onion Powder
1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1 stick Butter
6 sliced fresh peaches, peeling removed or 1 can sliced canned peaches

Take the Dry Ingredients and mix them till they are well blended.  Melt your butter and dredge the cut up chicken in the flour mixture and brown the chicken in the butter.  Place the browned chicken in a baking pan and then pour your cut up peaches on top and bake on 350 for thirty minutes covered and then bake another fifteen minutes uncovered.

Happy trails to you until we meet again.  Bona Y'all. Please leave comments if you have any questions.
