Three Ingredient Grilled Chicken

Three Ingredient Grilled Chicken

Who doesn’t like a quick, easy and delicious meal on the BBQ?  I know I do. Most of the time if I’m looking for something fast I turn to burgers or brats.  Rarely do I think of chicken, mainly because it can be dry and…

Beef and Guinness Pie

Beef and Guinness Pie

Bourbon & Bacon Baked Beans

At first glance, this recipe may seem daunting.  It has a long ingredient list and it takes 16 hours to make. But I promise you it is nowhere near as challenging as you think.  I bet you have 90% of the ingredients already in your…

Vodka-and-Lime Soaked Grilled Watermelon

Vodka-and-Lime Soaked Grilled Watermelon

The first thing to note about this recipe is that not everyone will enjoy this.  It is purely a love-or-hate relationship.  Even I have to admit that I’m not a huge fan.  Why did I decide to post this recipe then?  Well because I know…
