BBQ Beer Can Chicken

-


OMG! This recipe is oh so good! When my husband was carving the chicken he couldn't stop eating it. He was even eating the skin it was that good! I can also speak to how good the skin was as I had  some too and I never eat the skin. The flavour was unbelieveable and it was so crispy and juicy at the same time. I highly recommend scrolling down and finding the recipe down at the bottom.

Sunday's are usually really busy for us with my oldest son having hockey mid day, me doing my meal planning and grocery shopping, and then I usually get dinner ready before heading off to my hockey to rush home in time to sit down to dinner with the family. It's usually exhausting! But today my son didn't have hockey and neither did I. I had also already done our meal planning and grocery shopping as we were in Dryden for a hockey Jamboree and we stopped at Walmart to get what we needed for the week as well as to stock up on Pantry items. You see, when you live in a small town off the main highway you pay insane prices for groceries. So, when you have the opportunity to save some money at the big box stores you take it and run!! All this being said, we had an extremely relaxing Sunday. It was actually beautiful outside today (2 degrees Celsius) so we shoveled out the swing set and played in the backyard before heading out for a walk around the neighbourhood before lunch. Once lunch was done I was even able to take the dog out for a walk while our youngest napped!

We did have to go to the store as cooking the chicken as a beer can chicken was a last minute decision and we needed to pick up some beer to cook with (drinking and BBQing). Now it was time to get started with the cooking! One thing that really helps to get a good juicy and crispy chicken is a good BBQ that holds a consistent heat. We bought our Weber BBQ 2 years ago and it is amazing! It holds its heat at a consistent temperature and is so easy to use and clean.

2 tsp Club house La Grille Chipolte Mango Spice

Instructions:
1. Pre heat BBQ or oven to 375 degrees.
2.Take nice cold beer out of the fridge and enjoy 1/2 of it. I know it will be difficult to stop at 1/2 but trust me, the juicy chicken will be worth it!
3. Place 1/2 beer into Beer can chicken roaster and then place the chicken onto the roaster.
4. Mix seasoning together and rub seasoning onto the chicken
5. Place chicken onto BBQ or into Oven and cook for approximately 1hr and 15 min.
6. Let chicken rest for approximately 5-10 minutes and then carve. It will be so juicy and delicious you will not regret making it!


As you can see my husband paired his chicken and salad with a Nautical Disaster Dry Hopped IPA from the Lake of the Woods Brewing Company. Their Beer is delicious and if you're ever in the Kenora, ON area I also highly recommend a visit to their restaurant. The food is great, the atmosphere is even better and their shop is super cute!

Black bean Sweet Potato Quesadillas

Sorry for the lack of posting but with the end of the school year near and a kindergartener learning online at home we have been a little busy over here!  This was not a typical mean for us as it was meatless but we’ve been trying to mix up our meal plans with a meatless meal once a week. This was a delicious sweet potato and black bean quesadilla. Lots of flavours and so filling!  We have been trying to incorporate one meatless meal a week which has been fun and challenging. It has really forced me to think out of the box with different meal ideas and this one was just too good not to share. It is kid friendly which is very important in our house.  I also really liked this meal as I was able to bake the sweet potato a head of time and then have everything ready for when it was time to make dinner. It was really easy and a lot of fun to make them together.  Ingredients: 1 sweet potato 1 tbsp busters BBQ rub  I can black beans or kidney beans drained and rinsed...

Fresh Tomato Marinara/Pizza Sauce

-

 We LOVE pizza in this house and any way to add extra flavour to make it better I am all over that. We had an abundance of tomatoes come off our tomato plants this year and were needing to come up with more ways as to how to use them. I was able to make soup and pasta sauce and then thought that this pizza sauce would be another great option as we eat pizza pretty regularly. I also froze a lot of tomatoes as it was hard to keep up with them all turning red at the same time. Frozen tomatoes work well with this sauce as well as they are getting cooked down anyway.  This sauce is a runnier sauce as I'm not a fan of a super thick pizza sauce and love how it adds just a touch of flavour to the pizza. If you are wanting it to thicken more, add some tomato paste to help it thicken.  Ingredients: 16 cups chopped tomatoes (Garden fresh add a lot more flavour) 1 onion 1-2 full heads of Garlic (I LOVE garlic so I tend to add more) 2 TBSP Olive Oil  2 TBSP Italian seasoning 1 TB...

Banana Cinnamon Muffins

These muffins have been a hit in our house for a couple of years now. My one son (who we call the muffin man) asks for them all the time. I love this recipe too because it is so versatile. I have made them plain, added a cinnamon sugar topping, added chocolate chips and even raspberries or blueberries. My favourite is adding a blueberry raspberry mixture. My children obviously love the chocolate chips or cinnamon sugar topping.  I honestly love how easy and versatile this recipe is. It seems to taste delicious no matter what I add to it. I also love that it can be made in one bowl and I have less dishes to do in the end. BUT my absolute favourite part about this recipe is how easy it is to make with my boys. They both love to help out in the kitchen and this is a simple enough recipe for them to help out with.  INGREDIENTS: - 2/3 cup sugar - 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil - 2 large eggs - 2 bananas mashed - 1 tsp vanilla - 1 2/3 cups flour - 1 tsp baking soda - 1 tsp cinnamon...
