SWEET GRILLED ONION

-

Today kicks off Memorial Day weekend.  I hope we will remember just what this holiday is about and why we celebrate it.  Memorial Day is a time to remember and give tribute to our fallen heroes.  The ones who were brave and gave their life that WE might be free.  The love of country and their people they protected and were willing and did die for each one of us.  Let us all celebrate with a thoughtful heart this weekend and give honor where honor is due.  

There will be tons of people cooking out this weekend.  For some reason, this day also kicks off summertime grilling season.  Hot dogs, hamburgers, brats, chicken, steaks, and pork all will be sauced, rubbed and seasoned to perfection.  

 BUT what about the vegetables?  My friend Brooke told me about grilling onions.  Not just throw them on the grill or in a basket on the grill, no, believe me, I love onions and this one is a step above the rest.  I made this last night to go with brat burgers.  I do believe for now on every single time I use my grill I will have to do this recipe.  It is seriously that delectable. 

 You do not need a lot of ingredients.  Just some butter, onions and beef bullion cubes.


I used sweet onions that I had cut the ends off, peeled and cored.  


... add 1/2 tablespoon of butter cut into cubes into the center and top with a beef bullion cube.


... place another half of tablespoon of butter on top of the bullion and cover with foil.


... grill on medium heat for 40 or more minutes.  


You will know when they are done because they will be soft.  Since I was grilling zucchini and brat burgers I put my onions on the top shelf of my grill.  Mine was on the grill for over an hour. 

 SWEET GRILLED ONIONS

 Ingredients

Directions

These onions are the best.  You can eat them with your meal or top a burger or dog with them.  I hope you will give this a try if you fire up your grill this weekend.

TOMATO SOUP (CANNING RECIPE)

I made this a couple of weeks back and I am finally getting around to post about it.  I always say life gets in the way and it truly does.  I stay so busy that I sometimes have a hard time finding the time to sit down and write or type a blog post.  It is not that I do not want to, it really is hard to carve out a bit of time to sit down.  Now with all that said.... We are bracing for Hurricane Florence in my neck of the woods.  Thank goodness it has been downgraded to a Cat 2 but you just never know.  I am saying all of that to say it is always good to have some stuff canned.  Oh, I know you can go to the grocery store and buy just about anything but have you given any thought to what is in that tin can you buy?  Or that frozen entree?  Think hard about what you are putting into your body.  Just last night our friend Matt stopped by and he another friend, Dusty that when he runs out of food he is coming to my house.   I have never canned tomato soup.  I really have never thoug

COPY CAT ORTEGA TACO SAUCE

Tacos, everyone loves tacos.  I mean why else do we have Taco Tuesdays?  Well, that is exactly what we had last night for dinner.  Tacos!!!  After fixing them I realized I was out of this wonderful sauce.  I normally keep a few jars canned in the basement but I used the last jar a few weeks back.   Needless to say, I needed to make more since I had the tacos already cooking.  I am so glad it is very easy to make.  Quick and simple.  I will admit though it is better if you let it sit a few days I did but not have the time for that last night.  After all, it was Taco Tuesday in the Cristina's household. Gather your spices together.  Measure out each into a small mixing bowl. Mix it all together. Add tomato sauce and apple cider vinegar. Mix together. Here is a secret ingredient that I add to make it taste yummy.  Lemon pepper seasoning.  It takes the level up a bit and makes it taste so much more like Ortega.   COPY CAT ORTEGA TAC

HOW TO MAKE CRISPY PICKLED JALAPENOS

I have struggled to find a recipe to make pickled jalapenos that were nice and crisp.  My pickled jalapenos were mushy and could only be used as a spice, like in chili or some Mexican dish.  I wanted my pickled jalapenos to have a crunchy bite to them.  I wanted to feel the crisp when I bit into it.  Being frugal I could not just toss them out so of course I still used them.   The last few years I have found a way to make sure they are crunchy and nicely crisp.  I use 2 products, Pickling lime and pickle crisp.  Yeah, I double do it but it works!! My jalapenos came at a lark this year.  Our friend Wade gave us some pepper plants that he had started from seed.  I think he felt sorry for us because we did not have a good turnout with our own seedlings.  We thought we were getting scotch bonnet peppers but it turned out we got 4 jalapeno pepper plants instead.  There is a joke behind planting seeds, do not drink and label your seeds.  It is funny how things turn out becau
