Sloppy Joe's  from scratch!

Nice!  My kids (8 & 10) are really getting into cooking and the 10-year-old saw a recipe for homemade sloppy joe's and said he wanted to try them out, so he cooked them for us this weekend.  Turned out great! (Of course I was too busy helping/supervising to think to take pics)

Awesome that your kids are getting involved!

Wife: Honey, can you make something simple for dinner?

Me: no problem! 

The kitchen 30 minutes later-

Yeah, they love it which is awesome.  They've been getting more and more into it over the last 1-2 years and this summer they each did a week-long cooking camp that they loved and both came home wanting to make the things they learned at camp.  Son likes cooking, especially grilling or smoking, whereas my daughter prefers baking, so generally we let him take the lead on entrees and she handles desserts. That said, the first thing he made from his camp cookbook was a chocolate lava cake with homemade whipped cream.

First BBQ competition with a mate yesterday. We didn't place but had a good time despite the monsoon we got hit with just before we packed up.

Started the day with a smoked fatty and biscuits with grape jelly and mustard...it was good.



Ribs, chicken and lamb koftas.

Congrats I on your first comp! They are both a labor and a love.

I stopped doing them here a number of years ago. I was the prep and presentation guy. My friend was the smoke and temp guy. We entered quite a few tri state comps, and placed top 5 in a few too. Best finish was #2. 

For judging , Flavor is a subjective thing, but the textures were a constant.

I gotta say I've made a lotta good meals this year, but that was one of the tastiest ever!

Had a hankering for some cheese steak. It may not be from PA but it gets the job done

[Owengeorge13]

Best burgers I’ve ever done.  I smoke/grill burgers at least once a week.  Smoked the burgers at 220 until medium.  Grilled English muffins, philly cream cheese with chopped jalapeños and crumbled bacon.  Slice of tomato.

Cooked some chipotle lime chilaquiles for dinner tonight. Had a zucchini from the garden to use up and wanted to do something different than what we've had with the other zucchinis we grew.

Tonight's fare...

Oven roasted bottom round roast, bedded with Vidalia onions and sweet peppers. Accompanied by sliced, roasted, red bliss potatoes , lightly seasoned with a sea salt amd a roasted garlic aioli.

Leftovers will make nice roast beef sammiches!

Now that looks like Southern comfort my friend!!

Dinner last night was shrimp & corn dumplings with a sweet heat cantaloupe & cucumber salad paired beautifully with a sauvignon blanc from the Russian River Valley.

[Josh Parker]

Smoked a brisket, 2 racks of ribs and a cream cheese. Forgot photos of the proteins but did get one of the cheese. 

Added a black raspberry Caribbean jerk sauce on top.  Turned out awesome!

Wife decided it was time to begin themed dinners, so last night was pork chops with a bacon-apple-sage sauce, mashed sweet potatoes with brown butter and crispy sage, sautéed asparagus, with apple Mexican chocolate cakes for dessert. She can't just cook normal meals.

A quick couple of ribeyes tonight.  
 

Anyone have any good beef Wellington recipes?  There’s so many out there I don’t know where to begin.  I might just go with Gordon Ramsay’s.  Has anybody be here made one?

[Owengeorge13]

Quick cook during a hailstorm with thunder and lightning.  Garlic/cheese sausage, porterhouse, country style bone-in pork ribs.  First time doing the country style pork ribs.  I really liked them, no one else did…no plating pictures…I was busy trying to get everyone to try the ribs to no avail.

Dinner last night was seared scallops over creamy corn with a tomato & pickled onion salsa. I loved the different flavors and textures of the dish, but the missus felt it was a little weird.

Did a rack of baby backs on the grill couple days ago.  I forgot to take pic B4 before taking them off grill, split it up into 4 pieces for the 2 of us.

Not a sweet potato fan but this looks delicious.

As a bonifide member of Baconholics Anonymous , I state that you have too much lettuce!   

Just about done...

This looks fantastic, I might have to try it.

A BLTA is my favorite sandwich to make on my own.  It may sound gross to some, but I like to add a little tin fish to it.
