Writing this blog is a hoot!
Every once in a while someone on Twitter or Facebook will ask a question or post a comment and it triggers something in my brain. It’s just something that happens. I’m minding my own business and all of a sudden I’m thinking about something different. A couple of days a go someone on Twitter sent out a tweet about pulled pork and a little while later there was a mention of waffles. It was lunch time here in Northern California and the Pulled Pork and Waffle Sliders just popped into my head.

I was an early adopter of Bacon Salt and have sung it’s praises ever since the first time I sprinkled it on my eggs one morning. A few years later along came Baconnaise, a tasty mixture of bacon and mayonnaise. I’ve been a devoted user ever since. So when Justin Esch emailed me recently to ask if I wanted to try Bacon Croutons I said yes. Even before they arrived I started to think about how I was going to use them. Croutons are normally found on salads. But it wasn’t likely that I was going to waste the goodness of bacon on a salad. I had to come up with something more exciting than lettuce.

 (NOTE: As a Featured Publisher for FoodBuzz I participate in their Tastemakers Program. Every once in a while I receive product, for free, from advertisers to use and possibly review. This is the case with the KC Masterpiece Buffalo Marinade.)
There is a school of thought that soaking meat in a marinade doesn’t do all that much. I pretty much subscribe to that thought process. A lot of times when you buy a bottle of marinade it suggests a 30 minute marinade time. That’s the case with the KC Masterpiece Buffalo marinade. I went with a 2 hour soak time and don’t think it imparted a great deal of flavor in the meat. Certainly not as much as you’d like in a “buffalo chicken” dish. But, there was away around this little problem. I not only did the marinate thing I used it as a glaze too.

 July is the month for celebrating a variety of foods. Three of those celebrations is from where the inspiration for this months “On Our Grills: 4 Ingredient Challenge” comes from. July is National Hot Dog Month, National Blueberry Month and last but certainly not least, July is National Baked Bean Month. Toss in Dill Pickles, because that’s what came to my warped mind, and you have the four ingredients our talented outdoor cooking bloggers had to work with in July.
I’m not sure exactly how original my creations are but it’s pretty much all I could come up with. Hot Dogs with a Blueberry aioli didn’t exactly make sense so Beanie Weanie seemed to make some sense. As a kid, and even today, I love to slice up a couple (okay, maybe three or four) good hot dogs and after pan frying them toss in a can of pork and beans. Add some spices, some ketchup and a little hot sauce and I’ve got a lunch that warms the innards.
I also wanted to use the cast iron skillet I had just, the day before, lovingly re-seasoned. The whole mixture was cooked in the skillet in the Traeger and turned out pretty darn tasty. This is one of those recipes that would need a little added flavoring with spices to get just right. Or I might use blueberry pie filling instead of blueberry syrup next time. (I just thought of the blueberry pie filling while writing them, I wish I’d thought about sooner because that would have been even better.)

I’m tired of crummy corn bread!
Look, I’ve shared a lot of different recipes here and strive to help anyone and everyone that asks for cooking advice. Well I need some! I need some good corn bread recipes and I’d like to ask my readers to share yours with me and world (well at least the miniscule part of the world that reads this blog). Do you have a great corn bread recipe? Will you share with us?
May I also ask another favor, on top of the first one? Please write out your recipe (or cut and past it) in the comment section. You can leave a link to your blog and you’ll get all the credit you want for the recipe. And I won’t republish them anywhere without asking your permission.
Corn bread and BBQ go so well together and I’d like to get some great recipes to share.
What do you say? Won’t you help a guy out?

 Most people, I believe, when they think of plank grilling have cedar planks with salmon in mind. It’s probably the most popular preparation using planks that I can think of. But you shouldn’t limit yourself to salmon and cedar.
I actually don’t like the flavor cedar imparts on my meats and other grilled foods. It would never occur to me to use cedar in my normal low & slow BBQ smoking so I figure why use it for planking. Instead I use the same woods I use to smoke with, alder, maple, cherry, apple and oak
