BBQ and Grilling

If you are wondering how to pay off debt and/or looking to improve your spending and set yourself on a path to financial success, a financial fast might be a good idea for you. For example, if seeing influencers and ads on Instagram makes you want to spend with reckless abandon, consider deleting the app for a few weeks or setting up a time limit to lessen your doom scrolling. There are several different budgeting methods, including the 50/30/20 rule, which suggests putting 50% toward what you need, 30% toward what you want, and 20% toward savings and debt repayment, and the envelope system, which has you set aside cash in different envelopes by category and allows you only to spend what’s in each envelope. Take time to focus on the things you really need to spend money on, like groceries and rent, and the things you could probably give up for a while, like fancy dinners out and extra-foam lattes.

These powerful plants contain special compounds that can naturally help regulate our hormones and metabolism, but one of the most important benefits of adaptogens is the way they help our body adapt to stress and protect us from the damage it can cause on a cellular level. In a two-month randomized, double-blind study of 60 participants with mild stress, researchers found that those adults who were given a 240 mg of full-spectrum extract of ashwagandha root experienced a significant reduction of stress, anxiety and cortisol levels after two months as compared to the placebo group. In fact, KSM-66 Ashwagandha® has been clinically proven to help reduce stress, anxiety, cortisol levels, and stress-related food cravings while helping to improve memory and cognitive function. Other vitamins included like Vitamin D can help with mood and immunity, while antioxidant-acting vitamins like A, C, and E can reduce damage caused by free radicals, which can be high during times of stress.

I’ve got a bunch of little kiddos who would eat their weight in this Dr. Pepper Jalapeno Beef Jerky if I let them, and I don’t want to worry like crazy that they are going to be choking on unchewable chunks of jerky. Last notes: If you like to use curing salts in your jerky you can use 1 level teaspoon of Prague Powder #1 or instacure #1 in the marinade recipe. Remove the meat from the marinade and dry each strip thoroughly by laying on paper towels. Transfer the strips to the grill grate, jerky rack, or cooling rack and smoke/cook for 2-3 hours (depending on the thickness of your slices, some thicker pieces can take 4-5 hours).

Fire-roasted poblanos are the key to this fresh and vibrant crema that is perfect spooned over carnitas or an abundance of other things! Like tonight, when I grabbed Curly’s BBQ Sauceless Pulled Pork that I picked up in the refrigerated meat area of the market (you know, next to the fresh cuts where they also have mac and cheese and other quick solutions ready to grab) out and whipped up some tacos for a friend that dropped by. One of the easiest recipes to make, you only need fresh poblanos, cilantro, garlic (optional), lime juice, crema, and salt.

Perfectly cooked eggs are wrapped in breakfast sausage before getting  tossed on the smoker and finished with a BBQ sauce glaze. For those of you on this page, I’m betting you’re a BBQ lover just like me, and you’re up for turning any recipe into a BBQ sensation. This recipe for Scotch eggs take the traditional recipe and changes it up a bit to give it a smoky, BBQ twist. Regular pork breakfast sausage is amazing on these Scotch eggs, but I also think they’d be KILLER with some maple or sage pork sausage.

This Western Burger is packed with beef, bacon, barbecue sauce, and beer battered onion rings. When onion rings are done, grill the burgers and finish prepping remainder of ingredients. The secret to good onion rings is making sure the batter is the consistency of a thick pancake batter, using some type of carbonated beverage (we are using beer). We add a touch of corn starch to the batter for a light flaky texture, and we keep a separate bowl of just flour to dip the onion rings in.

Please read my Perfect for the campfire, these loaded nachos are layered with all the fixings; freshly grilled carne asada smothered in cheese, and cooked in an aluminum foil pack right on the coals before being pulled high with your favorite toppings. This recipe starts with a simple citrus marinade for the flank steak of orange juice, jalapeno, oil, spices, lime juice, and cilantro which can be made ahead of time and stored in a resealable ziplock container in the cooler or fridge until ready to grill. If you don’t have fresh grilled carne asada for this recipe, you can substitute store-bought carne asada, often preseasoned and found at the meat counter.

Cayt masterfully pulled off a pulled ham recipe, and I gotta tell ya, the results looked INCREDIBLE. Basically, what we’re doing here is following a similar process like we used for making pulled pork (from a pork shoulder), but we’re applying this to a picnic ham. Increase the temperature on the smoker to 300 degrees F. Return the ham to the smoker, and continue to smoke until the internal temperature of the ham reaches 200-205 degrees F and the thermometer probe easily slides into the meat. Creating a holiday dinner for your family should be stress-free, and Hey Grill Hey is here to help!

Making Homemade Breakfast Sausages is as simple as combing ground pork with some herbs and spices, and a touch of good maple syrup for sweetness. For our preference we like classic sausage flavor, aromatics, a touch of sweet, a touch of heat, which reminds us of what you’d get from your typical breakfast restaurant. While you can use brown or cane sugar, we love the natural sweet and flavor with good quality maple syrup (not syrup with cane sugar, but real Grade A maple syrup). When considering how much breakfast sausage seasoning total to use for 1 pound of ground pork we use roughly 2 1/2 tablespoons of dried ingredients and 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup.
