Superbowl Recipe Mashup

Hey all you sports fans and foodies! As you know the Superbowl is coming up in one week, even if you don't watch football all year it seems the Superbowl is the one football we can all stomach. And I say this because its just as much about the food and the beer, as it is the actual game. I've gone through and pulled out some recipes from previous blog posts for you to browse for YOUR Superbowl party. Some people might look at these recipes and think "Not Superbowl worthy", but you don't have to eat only Deep fried wings and nachos, not saying people don't enjoy those things because I certainly do, but why not add something a little different to the mix too!?

Delicious Dry Rub

So a few weeks ago we decided to have some friends over for supper and I was going to try something I had never done before, but ALWAYS wanted to do....turn my BBQ into a smoker!!! So anyway, this is a 2 day process, soaking wood chips, making dry rub, marinating for 24 hours and cooking/smoking for 6 hours. And thats the kind of stuff I love! I was making pulled pork sandwiches for supper so we used a Pork Shoulder,and applewood chips for the "smoke". My absolute favorite Chef on the Food Network is Michael Smith, and it was here that I got the inspiration and tips for smoking a pork shoulder.

 I realize smoking pork shoulder for 6 hours isn't really a great entertaining recipe so I'll just link you up in case your interested. BUT one thing that everyone can use is a really great Spice Blend. This one is simple, cheap and works on pork chops, chicken, in steak marinade, I used it on ribs this past weekend and on roast potatoes! Multi Purpose!
