Beer Can Chicken
This Beer Can Cajun Lemon Chicken is brined, then roasted in the oven for a flavorful and juicy taste experience. I used Slap Ya Mama Hot Cajun Seasoning, so I knew I needed to add a little balance in the flavor, so I decided to use my Nature’s Flavors Organic lemon flavor syrup in the brine and also to mix with the olive oil to rub on before dry seasoning. It's the perfect flavor balance.

Smoked Sausage Jambalaya
With Mardi Gras around the corner, I was inspired to create a homemade Smoked Sausage Jambalaya to bring a little taste of New Orleans to our dinner table. It’s said that the Jambalaya dish origin was created by mixing French and Spanish cuisines together, now considered “American Creole.” Whatever the history, it’s a flavor fest for your tastebuds, a sweet spicy heat and very satisfying and cozy meal. Made using Poppa Earles Cajun Seasoning for an authentic taste of Louisiana.

Using craft brown ale beer and some special Cajun seasoning as a brine mixture, it adds such deep, delicious flavors throughout the meat.

Try my version of Healthier Sloppy Joes by sneaking in a few extra veggies into the ground beef, then switching up buns for different vegetable vessels that provide nutrients. Potatoes, peppers and zucchini can be the perfect vessel to enjoy your sloppy joes!
Crockpot Chicken Barbeque
If you’re looking for a healthier way to enjoy barbeque, try swapping pork for chicken and make my easy Crockpot Chicken Barbeque. (Also would work with turkey breast.)

It also makes a perfect alternative for a rainy day BBQ. Another great idea, is adding it to a soup or stew for a wholesome and substantial cold weather meal.
