Go-To Grilling Rub

This spice rub makes everything taste better. Good for poultry, pork, beef and shrimp.

1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 tablespoon smoked Spanish paprika
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground white pepper
1-1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Combine sugar, paprika, peppers, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne in a medium-size bowl and mix well. Extra rub can be stored in an airtight container for up to six months.

Smoky Chipotle Deviled Eggs

1 dozen large eggs
1/3 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise
1 - 2 canned chipotle chilies with clinging adobo sauce
5 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon natural rice vinegar
1/8 teaspoon ground Ancho Chile
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
Zest of 1/2 lime
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Tabasco
1/8 teaspoon sea salt or more to taste
Ground Ancho chile for garnish

Place the eggs in a large stockpot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, cover and turn off the heat. Let sit 20 minutes. Drain and run under cold water until eggs are cool to the touch. Let sit another ten minutes.

Peel eggs carefully, keeping whites in tact. Cut in half lengthwise and remove yolks. Set whites aside on a platter or egg plate. Break yolks up and mash with a fork until all large pieces are broken up and smooth.

Puree mayonnaise, chipotle(s), butter and vinegar in a small food processor. Taste and add another chipotle if the flavor is too faint, add more mayo if it is too strong. Add ancho chile powder, lime juice and zest, garlic powder and Tabasco. Stir well. Taste and season with sea salt. Note: If yolks are not smooth, run entire mixture through the food processor and place in a pastry bag in the refrigerator until cool.

Place in a pastry bag or use a small spoon to fill egg white "boats" with "deviled" egg yolk mixture. Sprinkle with ancho chile powder.

Makes 24 deviled eggs

Tip: You may need to cut a thin sliver off the bottom of the egg whites to make sure that they "sit" level.

Cool as a Cucumber Salad

2 English (seedless) cucumbers
4 shallots
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 tablespoon kosher or sea salt
1 cup unseasoned rice vinegar

Wash and dry the cucumbers. Peel alternating strips of the green skin off the cucumber with a vegetable peeler. Slice very thinly with a mandoline-style slicer or a slicing disc of a food processor. Set aside. Peel shallots and slice at the same thinness as the cucumber. Mix cucumber and shallots. The shallot slices will un-ravel into small rings which is what you want. Set aside.

Whisk sugar, salt and vinegar together until completely dissolved. Pour over cucumber and shallot slices and mix well, separating the slices to make sure none of them are sticking together. Put vegetables and all the liquid in a non-reactive (plastic or glass) container with a tight lid and refrigerate, turning occasionally for at least 3 hours or overnight before serving. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

Keeps for five days in the refrigerator-but they'll be gone long before that!

Note: I like to put up the "cured" pickles in Mason jars for giving away and serving.

Serves 4

Did anyone ever find the recipe for the PBJ Cupcakes from the show on the 25th?

[grandmacupcake]

Not yet, but I'm not giving up! Apparently it's
Elizabeth Karmels's signature recipe so it's been hard to track down.

I just have to comment on the Beer Can Chicken recipe. Don't use the can....it has a paint and finish that can heat up and cook in to your chicken. The aluminum can is not a good thing to cook with either. Alumiunum has been linked to Alzheimers. Not a good way.
I have found a cooker that is lead free pottery, hand thrown by a potter in Marshall, TX that has a bowl that will catch any juices & drippings and a center cup for holding the beer or liquid of your choice. I found mine at Star Specialty Contempo in McKinney Texas www.contempomckinney.com and it works beautifully!!! You can use it in the oven or on a grill.. I use beer for the liquid but have used wine, juices, bourbon, Teriaki liquid, salad dressings, water with fresh herbs, etc.....Any liquid goes. Easy clean up, just rinse and thorw in dishwasher. I also found that the chicken sits up and I never go to the grill and find it laying on it's side, it is very hard to balance a chicken on a can. I repeat DON'T USE THE CAN...
