Buffalo, Hot Honey-OldBay, Garlic butter-Lemon pepper With some air fried fries and my house fry seasoning. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Just made some honey garlic sriracha wings. They might not last until the rest of the family gets home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to make some French onion soup using real beef to give it more nutritional value. I have a boatload of onions. I plan on freezing a bunch. I'd use gruyere cheese but I have some Swiss I need to use plus some older baguette. Update: It took me two days to make the French onion soup. I get tired standing up and browning beef and slicing onions and carmelizing them in two batches. I also used three quarts of beef stock so there's plenty left to put individual servings in the freezer. That's going to take a couple of days too. I've already had it two nights for dinner. The beef makes it more of an entree instead of an appetizer. I did good! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleaseBlitz Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) That looks amazing. I like how you both went the extra mile and hit it with some garnish (parsley?) but also served it on a paper plate. Related, I made a delightful cheese soup today using homemade chicken stock, the kind that is the consistency of motor oil and 100x better than store-bought, but also used the still-good part of a week old onion and shredded cheddar from a pouch.

Skinsfan1311 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Got lazy today. I ran out of my Memphis style rub, and used a store bought mustard, vinegar based pork rub on these. We were very happy with the results. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I prefer to make my own rubs and marinades, but I can’t speak highly enough of the Wegman’s Peruvian marinade found in the Latin aisle. For whatever reason, I picked it up and now keep it on hand all the time. A squeeze of lime, a little oil and some of this marinated overnight and grilled. Turns basic, cheap boneless thighs into an elite protein. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of note is the Walkerswood Jerk seasoning. It's made in Jamaica and it is the real deal. The chicken looks amazing, (thighs are my favorite). Is the Peruvian marinade spicy?

Kudos on the set of well-seasoned GrillGrates We keep the Walkerswood jerk on hand as well, great cooks think alike. I wouldn’t say it’s spicy at all. In fact, I made an aji verde sauce to go with it because I like it spicy. The marinade is primarily savory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 This is what it looks like, kind of inconspicuous and placed with a bunch of the other random ‘Latin’ stuff like canned chipotles, green chiles, etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were pleasantly surprised at how good it is, and how easy it is to find stateside.

My favorite is to make chicken salad with the leftovers. Adds a cooling effect to the spice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make a mild version, though I haven't tried it. Around here, (Baltimore metro area), it's pretty easy to find in grocery stores. I think Walmart has it too.

We just started using that same brand of Avocado spray. I picked it up at the recommendation of someone on a Weber BB.

Yeah, it’s really good for evenly coating a pan, grill grates, etc. Best deal is at Costco, 2 large containers for $12. Every now and then, they run it at $4 off and I buy several to stock up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I'm going to make some salmon cakes with canned salmon next week. I need to buy some dill weed as I don't regularly have it on hand. I will freeze some too. They'll be good with some fresh veggies and rice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) I shop HEB, loyal shopper. I haven't seen Wegman products there. Lots of Whataburger though. I was specifically looking for the Peruvian marinade. There's a restaurant here that does Peruvian chicken that tastes like a restaurant in Wheaton Plaza once had. I try to make it myself using Goya Mojo Criollo marinade. I usually add more minced garlic. Edited October 19, 2022 by LadySkinsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
