Mexican Fried Rice

June 20, 2018May 16, 2017 by Rex

For Christmas I received a Blackstone Griddle. It is the most used gift that I have ever received. I cook everything on it, from Japanese steakhouse fried rice to smash burgers. We love fried rice so much that I decided to come up with a recipe to go along with some Fajitas. I combined some tomato sauce, chiles and seasonings to make some of the most delicious fried rice that I have ever had. It is a huge hit at our house!

Thanksgiving Leftover Ideas

November 25, 2016November 25, 2016 by Rex

Like so many American’s my eyes are bigger than my stomach. Therefore, I have a ton of leftovers after Thanksgiving. Ok, this might have been done on purpose ?. Who doesn’t love an open faced hot turkey sandwich. But there are so many other things that you can do with the leftovers. Here are my favorite ideas.

Tom Collins

June 20, 2018August 1, 2016 by Rex

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.

Pizza Sauce

June 20, 2018February 26, 2016 by Rex

I make a ton of homemade pizzas and I always make my own pizza sauce. The number one question that I get is, what pizza sauce recipe should I use? So the other day, I searched my website looking for it and I did not find it. To be honest, I thought that I had already wrote a pizza sauce post. I guess I was wrong. Here is my favorite pizza sauce recipe!

Peach Habanero Pepper Jelly

August 23, 2018December 8, 2015 by Rex

I am a huge fan of pepper jelly. I like to add it to marinades and sauces, to add a little sweet heat. I also like to eat it straight up in Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches. Not to mention it is great with a little cream cheese on crackers. Pepper jelly is a pretty universal ingredient. I have tried almost all of the different commercially available Pepper Jelly’s but they just are not hot enough or they are way too sweet. So like any red blooded American, I decided that I could do it better myself. Wow, I was right. This pepper jelly is the best I have have ever eaten. It is not too sweet, but has enough heat to let you know that it contains Habaneros.

Three Cheese Manicotti

June 20, 2018June 2, 2015 by Rex

My wife Dana is from New York City! When we visit NYC, we like to purchase food items to bring back Virginia. One of those food items is fresh pasta. Our favorite is Manicotti. You just can’t beat the flavor of the pasta, from the pasta stores in New York. Since we haven’t been to NY in a while, our stash has run dry. So I wanted to surprise Dana with some handmade Manicotti. I must say the three cheese Manicotti was freaking fantastic. Even Dana said it was the best that she had eaten. That says a lot.

Red Hot Stag – Thirsty Thursday

June 20, 2018April 3, 2014 by Rex

I love Red Stag Black Cherry Bourbon from Jim Beam. It is freaking delicious! I know what you are thinking, Red Stag tastes great as-is! There really is no need to mix this stuff at all. However, this stuff tastes so good that it screams to be mixed in a cocktail. I stumbled into this … Read moreRed Hot Stag – Thirsty Thursday

Thirsty Thursday – Orange Fanta-sy

We have been on a huge orange soda kick over here at the RexBBQ/Savoryreviews.com headquarters. So we decided to make a cocktail with our favorite Orange Soda “Fanta”. This cocktail mixes a nice spiced rum with the sweet flavors of orange. This is a great cocktail for the summer! Hopefully by drinking this, the summer … Read moreThirsty Thursday – Orange Fanta-sy

Two years ago, the biggest party in all of New York happened. Yep, I got married. To celebrate my second Anniversary, Dana and I pulled out our crystal flutes and made some cocktails. Is there any other way to celebrate. Janine and Robb gave us a great bottle of Prosecco and there was no better … Read moreProsecco Mimosas

Last weekend the bar was open at the house. It has been a while and I was in the mood to make some sweet cocktails. After making the Citroen Sunset, I wanted to move to a sipping drink that had my favorite liquor in it. Bourbon! So I created a take on Bourbon Ginger and … Read moreBitter Bastard
