Homemade Catalina Salad Dressing

We loved this simple and delicious homemade Catalina salad dressing. Why would you buy dressing at the store when you can make an even better version at home? Just toss some simple ingredients that you probably already have on-hand into a blender. Pulse a few times, then transfer to a Mason jar. You end up with a fantastic tasting dressing. And you have a healthier dressing for a fraction of the cost of store-bought.

For a little different flavor, substitute honey for the white sugar.

Firecracker Dipping Sauce

Looking for a wing or chicken finger dipping sauce for your heat-loving friends? Well, here it is. This firecracker dipping sauce has a nice garlicky flavor. With smooth buttermilk. And a big kick from roasted jalapenos. The flavor is fantastic, but you will get the heat. Believe me. Adjust the heat by adding/removing more jalapenos. Or heck, add some habaneros and really, really kick it up a log!

Firecracker Dipping Sauce

It Is Spicy

I used 4 large jalapenos in this firecracker dipping sauce and the result was probably a little hot for the average person. Actually, not “probably”… it was hot. Sometimes you get really hot peppers and sometimes they aren’t quite as hot. That’s why it is good to taste as-you-go. I’m ok with it being pretty hot, as long as I can still enjoy the dish.

I almost always use Blue Plate mayonnaise in the dishes I make. I think it is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

Cajun Gravy

Looking for a kicked-up gravy for turkey, chicken or mashed potatoes or just about anything? Well, you found it. This Cajun gravy may take a while to make, but it’s worth it. You can’t rush good gravy, a good roux takes time. The end result is creamy, flavorful, and has just a bit of kick.

Cajun Mashed Potatoes

Perfect For Making A Gravy ‘Lake’

I served up some mashed potatoes, made a nice ‘bowl’ in the middle of them, and loaded up on the gravy. Absolutely delicious. This makes a good sized batch of Cajun gravy. You can’t have too much gravy, though. There’s absolutely nothing worse than still having mashed potatoes on your plate but no more gravy.

I like to use my good ole trusty Dutch oven to make this gravy and pretty much darned near anything like it on my stovetop. It’s nice and big and sturdy. That extra weight helps it maintain and distribute heat perfectly. As an added bonus, it’s actually pretty easy to clean up too!

Apple Brine for Pork

I use this apple brine for pork on grilled pork tenderloins, giving them a nice light apple flavor with a little kick to offset the sweetness. It works great also on bone-in or boneless pork chops. The brine does contain a bit of sugar. Make sure you shake off the excess marinade before cooking since the sugar might have a tendency to burn or at least char quite a bit.

Italian Meat Sauce

This is my go-to meat sauce for all things Italian. I use it (with some variations) in lasagna, on pasta, in calzones, on buns for sandwiches… you name it. It uses the simplest of ingredients, goes together easily, and makes the house smell wonderful.

Lasagna

The All-Purpose Mix

As you can tell, I use this for a whole lot of things. All great. This recipe makes a pretty big batch of Italian meat sauce. Since it has so many uses you won’t have any problems using it up. Just follow the recipe section below for adding in the ingredients for each way you can use this sauce. You want a thicker sauce for some dishes, and a thinner sauce with vegetables for others. It’s easy, though, to modify it for darned near anything!

Dry Onion Soup Mix

Got a recipe that calls for a packet of dried onion soup mix but don’t have any on hand? This is the exact same thing. Actually it’s better.

Great Dip.

Stir a few tablespoons of this dry onion soup mix into a few cups of sour cream. You’ll have a great onion dip! I actually like to add a little extra because I like my French onion dip to be extra onion-y! That’s the beauty of this mix. It’s not like a packet where you’re out once the packet is empty!

I make a big batch of this and store it in my pantry. I use blue painters tape to write “Onion Soup Mix” on the side. Then I add “2 T + / 16 oz”. That way I know that I need a good 2 tablespoons of the mix for a 16 ounce container of sour cream!

Great Burgers, Too!

You can also add it to hamburger and a few other ingredients and make the best onion burgers you’ve ever had!

Old Bay Steak Rub

I usually marinade my steaks, but when I came across this Old Bay steak rub recipe, I had to give it a try. I love Old Bay seasoning. The combination of spices is great on crab cakes. Fantastic in crab boils. Crazy good on peel-and-eat shrimp. And divine on steaks. Just sprinkle any cut of steak with the rub a few minutes before grilling.

Old Bay Steak Rub

A Quick Sear Prevents Burning

This Old Bay steak rub does contain a bit of brown sugar. Sugars will burn if placed over direct heat for any length of time. I prefer to reverse sear my thicker steaks, which prevents that from happening.

Creamy Horseradish Sauce

Jeff Mauro on the Food Network served up his version of this creamy horseradish sauce on an awesome looking roast beef sandwich. It closely matches the sauce on the out-of-this-world good sandwich from the Hobnob Corner Restaurant in Nashville, Indiana. But, it is also good on any sandwich. I’m not the world’s biggest lover of horseradish. This sauce is quickly changing my mind about that.

Creamy Horseradish Sauce

The Perfect Sandwich Spread

My pot roast sandwich also deserved a great topping. This creamy horseradish sauce was it. I think that It’s reminiscent of the horseradish sauce you often find served with prime rib.

Roasted Garlic

Roasted garlic is just one of those things that are great to keep on hand. It can be added to a lot of things to really kick them up. Boring mayonnaise? Add a bit of garlic and make a great sandwich super! Boring burger? Add some more. You can mix into the beef patties before you cook them. Or mix it in with some mayonnaise and slather the buns with it. Make sure you get both buns, too!

Roasted Garlic Burgers

More Garlic, More Better

Roasted garlic is also fantastic in my roasted garlic salad dressing. There are so many uses for it that I recommend making several heads at once. Just substitute it for ‘regular’ garlic in any dish. And add it to any dish that needs more flavor.

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.
