• This needs no introduction, if you've been a fan of Masterchef, you'll remember the episode when a burger scored an apron. The secret ingredient? Lemon Pepper Bacon. The tangy lemon flavour along with the savoury bacon and freshly ground pepper takes this to a whole new level. Try it on a BLT it's amazing. Highly recommended, make it now!

    Lemon Pepper Bacon and a BLT

    When I suggested this to my husband his eyes lit up. I mean lemon pepper bacon, was the one ingredient on Noah Sim's (a Masterchef Season 10 contestant) legendary burger that Joe Bastianich couldn't get enough. So, obviously I would spend the next year thinking about that bacon before I finally gave Lemon Pepper Bacon and a BLT a try.

  • Guess what I dusted off this weekend? Easy Barbecue Sauce is on the blog right now! Aunt Minnie's recipe, she's my grandpa's sister-in-law, so you know this recipe has stood the test of time! We served it over chicken, and it was delicious, she suggested meatballs and ribs. Super easy, ready in minutes. A must for your next cookout!

    Easy Barbecue Sauce

    I may miss my hometown like crazy somedays, but I think it's safe to say the barbecue down here is a fantastic consolation prize! I'm a huge fan! The smoked meat itself is so good, but adding a tasty sauce takes it over the top. When I came across this recipe for Easy Barbecue Sauce in our family cookbook, I was excited to give it a try. I've never made barbecue sauce from scratch before, but as it turns out, it's way easier than I thought. And I already had all the ingredients, score! And you know what else, it was delicious!
