One of the other things that I have made on my recent strawberry kick is this Spicy-Smokey Strawberry BBQ Sauce. I’ve made a similar Roasted Strawberry and Chipotle BBQ sauce before — this one is a little smokier and a little spicier. And these crazy ribs…. which are phenomenal (recipe is here). Obviously the BBQ sauce also works on wings, for pulled pork, brisket, etc. Yum!

Comfort food. In the winter, sometimes you just need a good bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup, right? Well, I decided to put a little bit of a twist on the classic, adding some spices that add even more warming properties: garlic, ginger, turmeric and black pepper. And it’s a “cheater” recipe as I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken to make it easy on me. For the noodles, I used udon and I added carrots, red pepper and Swiss chard for color. One of the best soups (or is it a stew?) that I have ever made.
I’ve gotten to thinking that Superbowl Sunday is also “official chili making day”. There seem to be a lot of Chili Cook-offs on Superbowl Sunday and per people who poll these sorts of things, it is in the top 4 or 5 “Superbowl Foods”. It makes for flexible meal times, eat when you like and can feed a crowd. This particular version uses boneless beef shortribs and after the 3+ hour braise, is melt-in-your mouth tender. It you are in to chili variations, this is definitely one to try!
Today’s foodie theme is a Superbowl Challenge! I decided to come up with two savory and two sweet things that symbolize the (Northeast) New England Patriots and the (So Cal) Los Angeles Rams. Thiis wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be because … well, evidently I know very little about what is “typical” food in LA. For the “savory component for The Southern Left Coast, I decided to go with Fish Tacos with Quick Pickled Toppings, Cabbage, Avocado and Cilantro. Yummy but a total pain in the neck to eat!
