Review: Draper’s BBQ Sauce and A.P. Rub
Early November hosted the KY BBQ Festival in Danville, KY. While there I stopped at a vendor booth sponsored by Draper’s BBQ Sauce. They were offering samples of their signature sauce on a small hunk of cheese and their signature rub on some popcorn. Draper’s was definately the best in the festival, by a LONG shot! So when they (Draper’s) offered to let us review their sauce and rub,...

Alex’s Grilled Jalapeno Beer Cheese
Jalapeno Beer Cheese! All of the Man Cave peeps have been working on their own version of beer cheese. I have a couple of variations of an original batch I’d love to share. With a simple base recipe, you can add more flavor to kick it up a notch or two on the heat factor. What you’ll need: Food Processor (2) cups of extra sharp cheddar cheese 1/4 cup (or more, up to half a cup)...

Alex’s Jumpin Jacks Jalapeno Juice
I love hot foods. I like hot sauce. Why not make your own? Piece of cake! Last year I grew a bunch of jalapenos and wanted to make a sauce from it. I looked up the tobasco recipe on-line and modified it to make it my own. This recipe is cheap, easy and it tastes GREAT. The recipe yields about half a pitcher of sauce, but it depends on the size of your blender and how many jalapenos you use....

You Put WHAT On That Burger? (Buffalo Chicken Dip Burger)
Right off the bat I’m going to say I regret not having a photo of this burger because this burger looks as good as it tastes–and it tastes GOOD. My friends Erin and Mike (particularly Mike) have a standing request for me to bring my Buffalo Chicken Dip to any gathering, and I happily oblige. The dip is very much a basic Buffalo Chicken Dip (recipe will follow). Well, one night a...

Habaneros Galore from Chef Cavan!
I have one habanero plant and I wish that my six tomato plants yielded as much as that one plant does. So what do you do with a crap load of intestine burning peppers. The easy answer is freeze the ones you’re not going to use immediately; however, in this post I’ll give two recipes that I’ve found are very versatile. Habanero BBQ Sauce: 2 habaneros finely chopped...

All Day red onion, sweet italian sausage and bell pepper pasta sauce
This one is a labor of love. Cuz it takes ALL day to make it taste right. Start it at 9am, have a great tasting sauce by dinner. For me, pasta sauce tasted better the next day. So I figured, why not make a sauce that will have that same taste – all in one day? (more…) AlexI'm a proud father of 2.

Chef Alex’s Home Made (sweet) Pizza Sauce
This is a sweet pizza sauce that I came up with over the years, and I have the boys help me out make it when I make pizza. Easy to do, simple ingredients… Vary the sweetness by sugar level. Get the kids involved! I throw the ingredients into a measuring cup, one stirs and the other adds the spices. (more…) AlexI'm a proud father of 2. I like to do the weekend cooking when...
