Simple wings, BBQ baked bacon wrapped shrimp, raw vegetables with an easy sour cream dip of some kind, chips.

That's how I'm rolling. Gotta work that day earlier.

Stuffed jalapeños on the grill.

I just fry up a chub of sausage, drain, then mix with cream cheese when cool.

Cut the jap in half, de-seed, and stuff with the mix. Wrap with bacon and bbq until done.

Ed,

Two suggestions from two food blogs I love, and I have tried:

Recipe #1

Sweet and Spicy Bacon Chicken Bites

Ingredients

3 chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
6-8 slices of bacon
¾ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper
optional garnish: sliced green onions.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying with cooking spray. Cut bacon in halfs to thirds depending on how thick your chicken is. Wrap each piece of chicken in the bacon.
In a small bowl add the chili powder, paprika, and garlic powder. In another small bowl add the brown sugar. Roll the bacon wrapped chicken first in the spices and then in the brown sugar. Place on prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and remaining brown sugar (if any) and bake for 35-40 minutes until the bacon is crisp.

Recipe #2

3-Ingredient Crescent Sausage Bites

Ingredients*

1 lb. hot sausage (pork or turkey)
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese
2 packages crescent rolls
Dash salt & ground black pepper

Directions

In a saute pan, brown sausage; drain. Add a dash of salt and pepper. Blend in cream cheese until the cream cheese is melted.
Unroll one package of crescent rolls and place on a baking sheet. With your fingers, gently press the seams together to seal them. Spread the sausage mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border along the edges.
Unroll the remaining package of crescent rolls and place on top of the sausage mixture. Press the edges together to seal. Gently press the seams together.
Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until crescent roll dough is golden brown.
Cut into small squares and serve. (A pizza cutter makes really quick and easy work of the cutting.)

Apparently, from reliable sources, these are really, really, good

Bourbon Little Smokies Recipe

Ingredients

2 (14 oz.) packages Lit'l Smokies cocktail links
1 c. bottled chili sauce { 1 (12 oz.) bottle}
3/4 c. bourbon
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 T. grated onion

Directions

In a saucepan, mix together chili sauce, bourbon, brown sugar, and onion. Add Lit'l smokies {I rinse them first to take away some of the saltiness} and stir to coat.
Bring to a simmer over medium to medium-high heat. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, over low heat for 1 hour. {If mixture becomes too thick, add a bit more bourbon.} Serve warm with toothpicks.

Slow Cooker/Crock Pot alternative method: Mix together chili sauce, bourbon, brown sugar, and onion in a slow cooker; add Lit'l smokies, stirring to coat. Cook on high for about 3 to 4 hours, or low for about 6 hours.

Finally decided main course will be a bone in prime rib roast

and grits??

Some people salt crust, Dan...........well, you know.



Just be sure to break out the clown plates!

Pulled pork sandwiches and potato salad.

The pork is cooking right now.

I've been laying off the carbs so no grits
Tomato salad and smashed Parmesan cauliflower

Moose sloppy Joes and the typical, chips and dips

So much for the no carbs I threw the baked mac & cheese together but only had 4 cheeses but it will work

hmmmmmmmmmmm....

I just ate a left over fried pork chop sandwich with cheddar, mustard and mayo.


It was outstanding

^5 ! Good man ! Maggie will be proud of you !

We did a fish fry using ling cod, halibut, and albacore tuna. Did a batch of panko fish and a homemade beer batter batch. Both were excellent with a personal nod to the beer batter. Sweet potato fries, coleslaw, chips and dips, as well as a sinful chocolate cake.
Grapeseed oil worked very well with little saturation on the fish and no discernible flavor change.

Fig Newtons as a joke.....

How long did you cook the tuna and how thick were the pieces?

From the loins of tuna, 5/8ths inch thick medallions. Some of them halved if they were too large. Cooked them for maybe 4 minutes or less.
