About this Cook
Just a ol'boy from Missouri, livin in Canada, teaching these folks what real BBQ is.
My favorite things to cook
My best my BBQ. I have spent years perfecting my own sauce and BBQ technique. Hoping to open a restaurant with it. But there isn't much I won't attempt. Meat, fish, poultry, soups, stews, baking, gourmet and doooooown home cooking. I try it all!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My father and my grandmother is who taught me how to cook. So I love to have my daughter help me in the kitchen. They are some of my most cherished memories from childhood and I hope they will be for my daughter as well.
My cooking triumphs
My BBQ recipes. Theres about a BILLION folks out there with thier own sauce or rub or technique, but theres few that take it anywhere. I plan on it!
My cooking tragedies
I'm still unsure of the why it failed..... however, I was making a caramel sauce one day and no matter what I did, as soon as the cream hit the syrup it just went to pot! Either the syrup balled hard and fast or the sauce would not thicken!

Egg-free Brownies
Excellent recipe for egg free. I originally searched for an egg free recipe because I was out of eggs, but I also have 2 vegans at work so this recipe was a double joy. As others suggested I cut the Baking Powder to 1 tsp. Using melted bakers chocolate gives a more fudgy result, use cocoa powder for a more solid dessert. Adding the chips makes for a nice chocolatey burst, but the brownie stands well on its own. I also make a topping of 1c peanut butter, 1tbl butter, 2tbl corn or maple syrup. Heat in a double boiler and mix until smooth and well heated. 1-2c powdered sugar (I use 1c, my mom uses 2) and after its well blended pour over the cooled or slightly warm brownie. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Burger or Hot Dog Buns
Overall a very nice recipe. Better for hamburger buns, but in a pinch, or for those of us who really are sick of the store bought junk, good enough for hot dog buns. I do not use instant yeast so for anyone else who does not, bloom your yeast in the ½c water and add the sugar about 2 minutes before your ready to start mixing everything to get the yeast good and activated. Make sure your milk is good and warm as well. For hamburger buns the given directions were excellent. For hot dog buns tho, I cut the dough into 16th's (roughly), or by weight (0.076kg = 76g = 2.68oz). I then roll them around the counter in a cupped hand to form a nice ball, which I then roll out into a snake, like playdough. I tap the ends a bit to make them flat, then proof them for 30-35 minutes. If you flatten them much they tend to stay flatish. We actually poke a hole down the middle of the finished product and push the dogs in, instead of cutting them in half. I would like to thank Sally for submitting this recipe.

Snickerdoodle Cake I
All in all this was a very good recipe. I will not say you'll swear your eatiing a fluffy Snickerdoodle, but overall the flavour is there. I make snickerdoodles with varying additions to the outer sugar layer, and this translates well to this cake. Sometimes we do just sugar, sometimes I add cocao powder to the sugar instead od cinnamon. As with the cookies I use Vanilla (tsp or more ot taste) and that defenitely added a little something to this cake. I also found that if you enjoy the cinnamon/sugar topping but not the crunch of it, mix powdered sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over individual peices prior to serving. If you try to do this over the cake as a whole and it sits overnight the sugar/cinnamon often goes goey or just melts in.
