Shrimp and Crab Seafood Salad
With summer coming up, it’s time to start working on lighter options. Seafood salad with crab and shrimp is an easy fix up that will feed you for a few days. I use canned crab meat and chilis because it’s faster an easier, but you can substitute out with fresh. With this, you can make some great cold sandwiches and lettuce wraps.

My Grandfather’s Ham Barbecue Recipe
This is my grandfathers recipe for Chipped Ham Barbecue. Chipped Ham is extremely thin sliced ham from the butcher or meat department at your local supermarket thats a big staple of Pittsburgh. It’s almost like a Sloppy Joe except the meat isn’t ground up like a chili. You’ll want to get regular or smoked ham, not the maple or flavored kind as it will throw off the taste. Finding chipped ham is easy, you can usually just ask the butcher or deli for them slice it on the smallest setting they have.

Pork Chops with Celery Sauce
I seen a similar recipe the other day while browsing online and it seemed like it might be worth a try. The local store had some good prices on chops so I grabbed a few and whipped this up. I thought it was pretty easy and has a ton of flavor that is different from the usual pork chops you find in restaurants.

Austrailian Beer Sauce
I seen this recipe a while ago and decided to try it this weekend. Super easy to make, this sauce is perfect for grilled chicken, steaks and seafood. I had it on the side burner of my grill on low and let it reduce down which made for a great glaze as I was finishing up the chicken wings.

Hot Soy Mustard Sauce
Here’s a new sauce I tried this week that is a great spin for grilled fish or chicken. You can forgo the chili oil if you want something without any heat but I had to boost it up a bit. I used this as a baste on the grill and it had an awesome flavor that is really fresh and exciting. It can also be used as a dip with some fried wontons or white corn tortilla chips. Mix about 2 Tablespoons of this with the juice of 4-5 limes to make a great marinade that works on any meat.
