BBQ hot dogs and garlic sasuage

Finally some nice BBQin weather!

Who doesnt love BBQ hotdogs! I know I do!
Instead of just having hot dogs I sliced up some of the garlic sasuage I had and decided to try that on the BBQ.

 The garlic sasuage is almost like the polish sasuage deli meat.

While cooking everything on the BBQ I smothered everything with my favorite BBQ sauce, (vintage smoke house with honey). You can use what ever youd like to flavor them.
 I also love to toast my buns on the BBQ  for a few minutes.

 Go for it try something different! Even if it doesnt sound like itll be any good try it anyways cause you never know!

I didnt think the sasuage would be good on the BBQ but let me tell you it was amazing! LOL

Heres a pic of what everything looked like:
Enjoy! :)

Slow cooker potatoes

I love any kind of potatoes so of course when I found this recipe I had to give it a try!

The thing I liked most was being able to prepare it the night before and just let it cook all day giving me time to finish other things.

 Heres what you need:
200g bacon - cooked/diced
2 medium onions -thinly sliced
4-6 medium potatoes - thinly sliced
225g cheese - grated
salt and pepper
butter

Heres how:
 Line slow cooker with tinfoil, leaving enough to cover the potatoes when finished.
Layer half the bacon, onions, potatoes, and cheese. Season and dot with butter.
Repeat with remaining bacon, cheese, onions, potatoes, season and dot with butter.
Cover with remaining tinfoil.
Cover and cook on low for 10-12 hours **

When I made these mine didnt take 10-12 hours, they only took 5 1/2 hours, so I would say depending on your slow cooker. Just check them and 5 and go from there!

 I also added a few things when I made mine, I add a little garlic powder and parm cheese.

 Heres what mine turned out like:
Yummy ! And talk about sell amazing!

 Enjoy! :)

Homemade chicken fingers

One of my favorite things to make for a quick meal is chicken fingers, so this time I decided to try making my own.

 I didnt use a recipe or any tips i just winged it and they turned out so good! (Surprisingly.. lol)

Heres what you need:
chicken breasts
egg wash
bread crumbs
salt & pepper

Heres how:
Preheat the oven to 350.
Trim the fat off the breasts, then slice them into strips. Set aside.
Get your egg wash ready, I used one egg to do 2 chicken breasts. ( Egg wash is beaten eggs with a little water.) set aside.
In a third bowl get your bread crumbs and add a little salt and pepper. Set aside.
Now your ready to assemble.
First you dip the chicken strip into the egg wash & coat with bread crumbs & place on tray. Continue with all strips.
I cooked them for about 20-25 minutes, but it depends on the size of your strips.
Have your favorite dipping sauce ready to go and enjoy your homemade chicken strips! :)

Heres what mine turned out like:
So yummmy! Hope you give them a try! :)
 Cheers!

BBQ steak

Who doesnt love a good BBQ steak?!

 Well let me tell you these were amazing haha!

 I have never cooked steak let alone on the BBQ lol but my man and I decided to try it out.

Before we put them on the BBQ we put some seasonings on them and let it soak in for a little bit while we heated the grill.

 You can use whatever youd like to flavor them, we used a little soy sauce, hot sauce, Montreal steak spice, garlic, and salt and pepper.

Cook until they are to your liking! :)

 Heres what ours turned out like:
Oh and we also lathered them in BBQ sauce haha.

SO YUMMMMY!!

  Enjoy! :)

Hot pepper & cheese stuffed burgers

I have never made stuffed burgers let alone a normal burger!

 I seen how to make stuffed burgers on Diners, drive ins, & dives and thought I'd give it a try!

Heres how I did it.
First I mixed the hamburger with some spices, bread crumbs, and a egg.
To stuff the burgers I used a cookie cutter to keep the shape of the burger, I pressed down some hamburger then on top of that put some hot peppers and chesse then finished it off with another little layer of hamburger.

I just fried them in a frying pan, but they would be just as good done on the BBQ.

I also toasted the buns with a little garlic butter on them.

 Heres what the burgers looked like:

Let me tell you these were delicious!

 Hope you give them a try too ! :)

Jessica's 18th birthday 'penis' cake

This was a very fun and interesting cake to work on.

My little sister asked me to help her make a birthday cake for her best friend.. this wasn't exactly what I was thinking lol

 This was my first cake that I actually carved into a shape, much easier than I thought!

 First we stacked and filled the cake, then we carved out the shape. Next step was to crumb coat the whole cake, then put the final layer of icing over top.
After the cake was covered we put it onto a cake board then piped the boarder around and did some extra add ons my sister thought would be funny.

 All in all it was a fun cake to do and good quality time with my little sister (:


 Just for laughs, heres what the final cake looked like:
Looks pretty cool eh!
 
Happy 18th Birthday Jessica!
