Black eyed peas and collard greens for lunch.


I'm working on another dinner dish. Pics will be posted. Happy New Years everybody!!!

It will be homemade chicken noodle soup with homemade bread. I've made the soup once using the ingredients I have on hand and it's really good. Since Sprouts Farmers Market opened near me I only buy their veggies (great quality and value). I also discovered an organic base stock they sell. I've used both the beef and chicken base and the flavor is outstanding, perfect for soup. I was kind of surprised with the consistency as it's like a thick shortening, but DANG!... what flavor.

Is spaghetti squash any good? I want to try this soon

Delicious.

I am honored!

Brings good luck on New Years too.

It is depending on how you prepare it. There's so many ways. I posted on myself already. Also great with butter and parmesan cheese as a side dish.

We had Northern Lights pizza, one taco, one chicken ranch, it was okay. I didn't buy or pick the toppings so I wont complain.

Yeah I thinknill give it a shot. My mom makes excellent homemade spaghetti sauce.

How did that turn out? Did you run the whole thing in the smoker or grill it at the end?

All through the smoker. Turned out really well, the casings were nice and crisp, and the smoke really shined. One of the best smokes I've done in the electric, and I really didn't do much.

Today I'm gonna makes some boudin balls. I picked up the house made boudin from a local Cajun place (with a legit Cajun chef), so I'll take it out of the casing, roll in flour, egg, and Panko, and fry.

Good work. Where did you get the sausage?

Just Publix house fresh kielbasa. Next time, I'll go by the butcher for something a little better, but these were good.

Cool man. I assume you ran 225? How long did you cook it?

Yeah, 225-235. Cooked for about 80 minutes. Pulled one at 60 and the center was a hair under, so put it back and ran another 20.
