Big Daddy’s Carolina Style Barbecue Sauce

Yesterday was the boy's birthday, today is my husband's, so I decided to make him a meal of all things he loves and I don't.  I'm not the biggest fan of chicken,or BBQ. (eewww)  I was looking in my file folder of my husband's favorite recipes (which sadly haven't been made in forever) and I saw this BBQ sauce recipe I had only made once before but I remember him raving about.  Things I hate, BBQ check.  Oh no it gets worse yellow mustard. (I detest yellow mustard)  It is also got 'daddy' in the title!  Eureka!  And I have chicken in the fridge!  The only thing I needed to buy was yellow mustard. (and since the chicken was there because it was BOGO I can say that the meal cost $1.40 lol  oh and plus sides (coleslaw and cheddar/scallion biscuits) but they weren't much) I tossed the chicken in the sauce, they were then grilled while basting them with the sauce when they were turned.  Just to finish them off, they were cooked over the cooler indirect heat for a bit.  My boy declared that he would eat a bowl of the sauce by it self; my husband said while he wouldn't say that, he did insure that every bite was covered with the sauce we reserved and didn't taint with the raw chicken. I fear this will be asked for again and often.  I could eat it but didn't want to.;)  I just can't get past the yellow mustard taste that I just loathe.

Pork Schnitzel with Dill Cream Sauce

Image
I am not the biggest fan of pork chops. I like pork tenderloin, bacon, ham, etc, but chops not so much. I do dig a good pan sauce however so I still was kind of excited. I do like good schnitzel, yes pork schnitzel, but this recipe did not produce that wonderful schnitzel I like. The sauce was pretty yummy and the boys didn't complain about the s so it must be my issues (again:).  My husband picked it off Pinterest and since it was from allrecipes.com I have no problem posting it here. (I am always a little concerned about allrecipes. I have had a few really good recipes, several fixable and a few bad recipes from them.)  I totally forgot about sides when I was at the store, so I cooked a half a box of whole wheat pasta I had cluttering up the pantry and tossed it with a bit of butter.   (and then dill sauce ;) And I steamed some broccoli too.  The boys rated it a 4 & a 4.5, I am torn because the sauce was a 4.5 for sure, the pork more like a 3 for me so....

Mollet Eggs Florentine

Image
Anytime I think I think I'm pretty good in the kitchen, I try to peel a boiled egg!  I have no idea how anyone can get those perfect, smooth eggs.  Mine look like surface of the moon or somewhere they test bombs!  It was meatless Monday, so in order to keep the boys from rebelling completely, I decide to make an egg dish. (they get some protein that way)  They looked beautiful, and except for the complete pain in the butt part (peeling the eggs) it wasn't too hard to make.  It was well received by my husband(he really liked it actually) , but the boy didn't care for it much.  (too much green IMO)  I thought it was good too despite the fact that I was ready to kill someone after "peeling" the eggs)  It is Jacques Pepin recipe I found on pinterest.   Only thing I might suggest is when he says to shake the pan to crack the eggs, I think he means gently move the eggs until they crack.  I had two casualties after the "shake"  That was ok, the girl wasn't

Ravioli In Mushroom-Walnut Cream Sauce

Image
I found this recipe in the to try file and it looked good, and was quick and easy. Perfect for meatless Monday. Now that mushrooms aren't a veto ingredient for my son, I was totally psyched to have this.  I searched for the source of this recipe, and i found it on the olive garden website. This wasn't where I got it from, but it read identical. While this wasn't an omg dish, I totally dug the heavy mushroom content.  I said 3.5. The boy, who still doesn't like mushrooms, said 2.5. My husband started out at rating it a 3, but when I saw him scraping his plate to get the last if the sauce, he agreed it was a 3.5.  I'm fully aware that my love and lack of mushrooms skewed me in favor of this dish. I made sure to stir the mushroom/walnut mixture. I was afraid it would burn the nuts. I think next time, I would start the mushrooms for a bit before I add the walnuts.  And the dish felt like it needed salt, until the end where it seemed all the parm was lurking, so I guess
