Make Your Own Smoked Salt
I was standing in the grocery store the other day, sniffing jars of smoked sea salts. They all smelled very good, but I couldn’t get past their prices.
“Why,” I thought to myself, “are these sea salts SOOO expensive?”
Of course, if I didn’t have a recipe already at home telling me how to do it [...]
Shrimp Fest
Shrimp is so fast and easy to cook. We should eat it more often. It literally takes minutes to be ready and it tastes SOOOO good no matter how we eat it; breaded, boiled, fried, roasted and GRILLED.

1 pound shrimp
Road Kill [...]

How to Eat Road Kill Grill Seasonings
With a name like Road Kill Grill Seasonings ALONE, I had to try it!
Road Kill Grill Seasonings is a mixed grill dry rub with a mild kick. Last night, I fired up the grill, invited some neighbors over and we had ourselves a taste testing.
We voted it to be OUTSTANDING for Blackened Tilapia [...]
Blackened Tilapia
I used Road Kill Grill Seasonings to grill this wonderfully spicy, smoky tilapia fillet.
HERE’S ALL I HAD TO DO

olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 to 3 teaspoons Road Kill Grill Seasoning
First, I got my grill hot & ready using my handy dandy chimney starter.
Next, I liberally oiled my nonstick grill sheet to help keep the [...]
Traditional Coleslaw
“Coleslaw” comes from the Dutch koolsla, from kool cabbage + sla salad. Defined as a simple salad made from sliced cabbage. But we KNOW it’s not THAT simple, don’t we?
