Slow Cooker Marinara Sauce

I was searching for a new tomato-based sauce that I could use on (whole or ground) Italian sausage sandwiches. It was a cold day, so I wanted something that would cook all day, making the house smell great. I like that. Eight or so hours of great smells, culminating in a fantastic sandwich topped with slow cooker marinara sauce.

Slow Cooker Marinara Sauce

This slow cooker marinara sauce is a great all-around marinara sauce. Double the recipe and keep some in the freezer. It’s great to have on hand for those nights when you need a simple meal. Great on pasta, sandwiches, pizza, you name it.

Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Olives

Whenever you’re cooking outdoors on the grill, there’s always room leftover to put treats, like these insanely good grilled bacon-wrapped stuffed olives. They’re easy to cook, and disappear in minutes. I often refer to these as ‘cooks treats’, since I get to be the first person to sample them.

Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Olives

These are the world’s easiest snacks. I used jalapeno-stuffed olives, but you can use garlic-stuffed or whatever you like, even Gouda-stuffed ones. Or heck, they don’t even have to be stuffed! These little morsels come out salty and briny, with a nice kick from the rub (I used a sweet rub with a little kick to it).

This is a great chipotle seasoning mix with a kickin’ southwestern flavor. I used it to make a creamy dipping sauce for chicken fingers, but it would work great as a rub too, specially on chicken.

Taco Sauce (Hot version)

I already have a version of taco sauce that is very much like what you get at Taco Bell – the plain sauce, not the hot. This version here is kicked up, and is just like the hot packets you get at Taco Bell. Perfect on tacos, nachos, and anything Mexican or southwestern.

Buffalo Wing Dipping Sauce

Visit my other site, For The Wing, for all things chicken-wing!

Blue cheese, although great, can be a little strong to us. So, we were a little skeptical about all the blue cheesiness that was in this recipe for a Buffalo wing dipping sauce. Well, the sauce is fantastic. No more Ranch dipping sauce for us. This is the only sauce we’ll ever need or make.

This sauce has a great bite from the blue cheese with just a little heat. Nice and cool for hot wings. Don’t skimp and use a cheap blue cheese dressing. Get the real stuff. And if you’re worried it might be too blue cheesy, substitute Gorgonzola cheese.

Pizza and Pasta Sauce

This is my go-to red sauce. I use it on everything from pizza, to pasta, to meatballs. I always make a double batch and freeze some for later.

Pizza and Pasta Sauce

Depending on what you use this sauce for, you might want to puree it slightly in a blender or using a blender stick. We prefer our sauce a little thicker and chunky, even if we use it on pizzas.

Chicken Fajita Marinade

We made some chicken fajitas on the grill the other night. We marinated the chicken first, using the chicken fajita marinade recipe below. Normally I use chicken tenderloins for something like fajitas, but a search of our freezer turned up nothing so I sliced chicken breasts instead.

This marinade has a nice citrus flavor from the lime, with a slight hint of smoke. Don’t be afraid to use more cayenne if you like a little more heat.

Sriracha Slaw

I love a slaw with some kick. Sure, I’ll enjoy a big ole bowl of sweet slaw too, but for my money you can’t beat a Sriracha slaw that brings a little heat.

Sriracha Slaw

Sriracha sauce is a wonderful thing. Though it is a little spicy, it’s not a burn-the-cover-off-your-tongue hot. It’s pleasant really. And it is fantastic in this slaw.

I recently discovered Blue Plate mayonnaise, which I think is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.
