Good Cause, and Great Food!!

Hi all! The Tupperware party was great. It's like a blast from the past. I even decided to have a catalog party since all my co-workers wanted to see a book. Tonight's dinner was a simple spaghetti made with whole wheat pasta and lean ground turkey. I picked a bell pepper from the garden and put it in the sauce and added some seasonings including "The Rub" I'm telling you, it goes good on anything. YUM!

Tupperware?

Tonight I have to go to a tupperware party, I know, who does that anymore? I'm kind of excited since it has been so long since I've seen any tupperware. I still have to feed the hard working hubby. So, I put some bone in chicken breast in the Crock pot and seasoned them with my Lip Lick'n Lemon Pepper and walah! dinner is ready. A salad will be a fine side dish and he will have a full belly. Happy Wednesday everyone!

Sauce Day!

Today I processed and bottled 74 bottles of Honey BBQ Sauce. Whew! Thank goodness my neice Leslie came to help me. You would not believe how much work goes in to this production, not to mention all the paperwork. The Department of Agriculture is very particular. Now I will have to label them, another time consuming project. But I love it! Oh yeah, my whole house smells like BBQ Sauce! This picture was taken in my separate commercial kitchen downstairs. Next thing to make is more Brunswick Stew. Have a great nite everyone! Happy Cooking!

Quote of the day

Playwright George Bernard Shaw once wrote "There is no sincerer love than the love of food"

Tonight I am about to indulge in a barbeque stuffed baked potato. We have some pulled pork left over so I'm gonna stuff it into a baked sweet potato and cover it with some Alisha's Kitchen Signature BBQ Sauce and Hidden Valley Light Ranch dressing. May sound strange but I assure you it is delicious! Of course you could use a white potato instead of sweet. I will take a picture of it so everyone can see how yummy it looks. Well, I gotta get to the kitchen and cook. Have a great evening!

Happy Fathers Day!

Hi everyone, for those of you that don't know, I recently got carried away with a new knife while chopping tomatoes and sliced my half my fingernail off. It is healing nicely, just a little hard to type. However the knife sliced through like butter. lol. Next week I'm gonna post some recipes and work on some new spice products. I will keep you informed. Have a great Fathers Day!!

The Georgia Barbeque Classic

On June 5th. 2010 we entered the Georgia Classic Barbeque Competition in Cartersville, GA. Lots of hard work and up way before dawn, as there was much to do till the competition got underway.

We had a great day and cooked some great barbeque that was enjoyed by all.

We also did pretty well in the judging:

Placed Second in Sauces- Honey Sauce

Placed 9th in Ribs

Placed 18th overall out of 38 entries.

Since this was only our second year, I am thrilled to have won a trophy!

If you are in or near Acworth, GA; we have been setting up a BBQ stand on Saturdays and selling my delicious BBQ on Third Army Road

I will update and let everyone know when the next date is for us to be out there.

As well, big charity event on July 4th and we will be selling our BBQ! Details to come, so check back on the Blog.
