Blackberry Lite Muffins

1 cup blackberries (I sliced each berry in half so they weren't so large)

4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp lite salt
1 beaten egg
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, melted

Preheat oven to 400. Line 12 muffin cups.
In a medium bowl, toss blackberries with Splenda. Set aside.
In large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a small bowl, combine egg, milk, and melted butter.
Add egg mixture to flour mixture. Add berries. Stir just until moist. (batter should be lumpy)
Spoon into muffin cups about 2/3 of the way full.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Cool on cooling rack.

The All American Cheese Burger

This is a fairly simple recipe, it's your basic cheese burger with a little spin on it, nothing to fancy just a few extra ingredients to kick it up a little. This is what I made for dinner lastnight, with help from my trusty assistant Jessica LOL. Step by step pics are included.

What you will need.

1 1/2 lbs of ground beef
2 eggs
4-6 slices of cheese
1/2 cup of bread crumbs
1 tsp of minced garlic
1 tsp of crushed red pepper
1 tsp of rosemary
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp of paprika
1/2 cup of steak sauce
1/4 cup of worchestershire sauce
1/4 cup of beer







Pre-heat your grill on medium/high, also if you have any pam or other grill pre-grease, spray a light coat over the grates so your burgers don't stick and break/fall apart on you when you goto flip them over.

In a lage mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients with the meat going in first (dont combine the paprika, that comes later). At first when everything is added it may seem a little more moist than useual, this is normal and after you begin mixing, it will start to feel a little more substantial. Mix all ingredients together by hand, make sure to work everything together nice and well so everything is fairly evenly mixed, no need to overmix it. If the mixture is still a little "moist" for your likeing just add another 1/4 cup of bread crumbs into the mix, it's nothing to worry about.





Some of you may be asking yourself, "but oxbox, i have a basically whole beer leftover. What should i do with it?" Well, i would say, drink it.


Take a decent sized handfull of the mixture and form it into patties that are about 1/4" - 1/2" thick. You dont need to stand in your kitchen holding up a raw beef pattie next to a ruler, just eye it and make sure it isn't to thin. You should come away with about 4-5 patties. Sprinkle a little more salt, pepper and the paprika over the top of the patties and head out to the grill.





Now place the burgers on your grill about 2" or so apart to give yourself some room to work... again, no need to break out to ruler for this, just eye it to make sure that you have enough room between burgers to flip them or move them, etc.

Grill them for about 6-7 minutes perside, but being that each grill is slightly different give yourself an extra minute or so, or until they've reached the desired cook (medium, well done, etc.). DO NOT PRESS DOWN ON BURGERS. This is important, many people press a burger down on the grill with a spatchula, don't do that it pushes allot of the juice and flavors out of the burger and you want it to be as juicy and flavor full as possible. When there is about 1 minute left add the cheese slices so it get's nice and melty but not burned.

Remove the burgers from the grill and turn the grill off. If you choose to have your buns a little toasted, after the burgers have finished cooking, place the buns on the grill for about 30 seconds to 1 minute or until they are toasted to your likeing.

Pile your new and freshly made burger high with your favorite condiments and enjoy.








Quick tip:
While the burgers are grilling, and if you haven't done this already. If you have any extra help around see if they wouldn't mind slicing up some tomatoes, onion and anything else you would like on the burgers. If not, then try to do this ahead of time, if you didn't then no worries. When the burgers are all finished cooking and you are all finished useing the grill, place the burgers on a plate, cover with tinfoil and place in the microwave until all the condiment prep is finished.


I hope this has been helpful, and dinner for tonight is going to be Chicken Fajitas! so there will be pics and a recipe to follow for tomorrow. Until tomorrow, good eatin and remember to have fun in the kitchen

So I forgot to take pictures....

And it's not really a recipe....

But I got this suggestion from a winery last week when I was there:

Take a regular box of brownie mix and prepare as usual, except substitute raspberry wine (the type I used was Adam Puchta Jazzberry...local winery) for water.

It was actually pretty good....brownies with just a hint of raspberry taste.

Beef and Bean Casserole

1lb ground beef, leaner the better
1 bag of Doritos
1 can of ranch style beans
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 can of rotel, whatever temp you prefer
1 pack of velveeta

Brown the ground beef in a pot big enough to hold it and the canned goods. I also like to add pepper to the beef as I brown it. Add the rotel, soup, and beans - do not drain the cans before adding. Let simmer 10 or 15 minutes.

While the meat simmers in the sauce get a glass pan and line the bottom with doritos. more is generally better and I normally mash them down a bit to flatten them out.

Take the pan with the sauce and meat and pour it over the doritos then smooth it out to make it reasonably flat. Cover with the velveeta. pre sliced is easier but the blocks work fine too. Put in the oven at 350* or so until cheese is good and melty but dont over do it because burned velveeta tastes as bad as it smells.

You can also make the meat sauce and put it in the fridge to finish later if you know you're gonna be short on time that evening.

It's a great rub for beef including ribs, roasts or brisket.
It's easy to prepare and easy to store:

2 1/2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons paprika
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons dried sweet basil
1 teaspoon ground bay leaves
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon ground savory
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt, to taste

1. Prepare the rub: Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Store the mixture in an airtight container for up to four months.
There's no need to refrigerate it.

2. To use the rub, massage it into the meat thoroughly the night before you plan to grill. Wrap the meat well in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until grilling time, so that the flavors will be absorbed into the meat.

Makes 3/4 cup. Per tablespoon: 18 calories, .3g fat, no cholesterol.

Juice of 2 lemons
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 pound finely chopped bacon

1. Bring broth, bay leaves and oregano to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer.

Cook until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes, then add to broth along with the lemon zest, juice, soy sauce, vinegar and the oils. Stir/whisk well to combine.

3. Cook the bacon in a nonstick skillet until soft, NOT crunchy. Add the bacon and any rendered fat to the broth mixture. Continue simmering until the broth is reduced by a fourth, about 45 minutes to an hour. Adjust the seasonings as needed and baste away!
