Apple Rib Rub -cover slab of ribs with packet of rub, cover with aluminum foil and bake in oven at 200 degrees overnight, is good just like this but to make it even better smoke on grill for a couple of hours. Same with the brisket, cover with applewood rub, then cook over night at 200 degrees and smoke for a couple of hours. Awesome barbecue.
Apple Mesquite-mix packet with 1 cup of brown sugar, then on a 3-4 pound pork loin, cover and wrap on foil put on the grill and cook till tender.
For Amazing Burgers on the Grill-Mix hamburger meat with the applewood rub, before making into patties, then grill for delicious burgers, use fresh ground pork, and Apple Mesquite, use sparingly until you are used to the taste, its a little stronger in flavor, makes great pork burgers, or turkey burgers.
Tequila Lime and Garlic Shrimp-mix rub with oil and marinate shrimp for an hour. Place on a hot grill, grill for 3 minutes then turn and baste with marinade, grill the other side.
Hints-Choose large or jumbo shrimp for grilling, Cook shrimp till pink, careful to not over cook.
Happy Grilling!!
For Picnics and Outdoor get togethers-Our German Potato Salad and Tomato and Cucumber Salad made with the Savory Tomato Vinagrette is a great solution for safe salads that won't spoil in the heat.
German Potato Salad- Cook potatoes, mix dressing with vinegar and oil, mix with potatoes, crumbled bacon and red onion, I like red and green bell peppers in it also. Chill till you serve.
Cucumbers that are cubed, and mixed with chopped tomatoes and red onion, marinated in the Savory Tomato Vinaigrette chilled in the refrigerator are great in the summer, refreshing and easy to prepare.
Southwest Macaroni Salad
-would go well with the Tequila lime shrimp or chicken, great dish to take to family get togethers, something different, Mix dressing with mayo and sour cream, then add drained can of black beans and corn, add 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese, red onion and celery, for a variation if you like it hot, add jalapenos, chopped tomatoes or olives are other suggestions.
Parfaits are a wonderful summer dessert, light and easy-
Our white chocolate raspberry with fresh or frozen red raspberries is always a favorite, toasted vanilla hazelnut with any fruit works well, I like peaches, but you could use blackberries, strawberries, mangos, your only limited by your imagination. Using sugar free makes it even better, very low calorie.
Ice Cream Sandwiches are always a favorite, we take chocolate chip cookies and fill with Chocolate Turtle Cheesecake the picture shown is with sugar free cheesecake, and Voortmans sugar free chocolate chip cookies. You could also use pecan sandies and Honey Apple Pecan or Peach Praline Cheesecake.
Strawberry Cheesecake Pie-this has been a favorite for years, I take two graham cracker crust pies, and make strawberry cheesecake according to directions, pour half in each shell, layer sliced strawberries on top, then pour strawberry glaze that you find at the produce department at the grocery store over the top, one container usually covers both pies.
I serve one and freeze one for later.
Don't forget the Honey Apple Pecan with apple pie filling, or the Peach Praline with Peach Pie filling, each in a graham cracker crust, easy and delicious.
Shown above picture is White Chocolate Caramel in a graham cracker pie crust with pecans and caramel ice cream topping.
