BBQ, Beer, Bacon and other amazing dishes!
My son Liam loves to cook! The other day he asked if he could make homemade lemonade. I was happy to oblige. I got out the stuff and he told me to walk away. He was going to do it all. I told him that I would need to help as he hasn’t graduated to using the stove or a sharp knife yet. While he objected, he finally agreed as he really wanted lemonade. Just to set the record straight, all I did was cut the lemons in half and heat up the simple syrup.

My Father-in-law Bill is quite the mixologist and makes some mean cocktails (remember the Sangria). So I asked if he could provide the recipe for his awesome Tom Collins to the blog. He obliged and wrote an entire post! So without further ado, here is Bill.
Nothing is more American than the 4th of July barbecue and with Rex around the cooking is well taken care of but the drinks are my department. I thought back to all the summer shindigs we used to have in my aunt’s backyard and the adults always started the party with their favorite summertime cocktail, the Tom Collins and no one liked them or made them better than my grandmother.

The Pizzeria Pronto combined with bacon onion jam is unstoppable.

Dana and I are huge fans of pizza. Dana’s favorite pizza is a white pizza. White pizza is different from your average pizza, as it does not have a red tomato based sauce. White pizza has a garlic oil base and is then topped with a trifecta of cheeses. It is basically, cheesy garlicky awesomeness.

The All American Bomb Pop Cocktail is the most American and best tasting cocktail around! No Joke. If you are looking for a great cocktail for Memorial Day, Labor Day, 4th of July, this cocktail is for you. This cocktail is a little bit sweet, a little bit tart and all American! The best part is that the Bomb Pop is not only garnish, as it melts it adds flavor to the cocktail. It literally bleeds red, white and blue!

A couple of weeks ago, I made a batch of Bacon Onion Jam. It was the one of the greatest condiments that I have ever had. I love it so much, that I put it on everything. During one of my tests I put it on a grilled cheese sandwich. After a little testing with various cheeses and breads, I discovered the perfect combination. It was the most delicious grilled cheese that I had ever had. You have to check it out!

Last year I appeared on the TV show American Grilled. On that show I competed against Big Jim Stancil of Bareknuckles BBQ. We kept in touch after the show and started to chat about all things bbq and grilling. During one of those chats, he asked if I would like to go to the Jack Daniels BBQ Championship and help him out. I could not say no. Come on, it was the Jack! While there I helped Big Jim do a little grilling for the teams up on the hill. The dish that Big Jim made, was an elk burger topped with a bacon onion jam. Ever since that day, I have been dreaming of that bacon onion jam. It was slightly sweet, slightly salty and all around bacon-y. It was delicious! So this is my take on bacon onion jam. Thanks for the idea Big Jim.
