Grilled Pork Chops Recipe
Feb 12, 2010 Recipes
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours
Ingredients
- 4 large pork chops
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
- 1 cup barbecue sauce, purchased or home made, more as needed
Directions
Make the spice rub: mix together cumin, brown sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
Trim any large areas of excess fat from the chops. Don’t bother with small bits, they help keep the meat from drying out. Sprinkle the spice mix over the meat and rub in. If time allows, wrap ribs in plastic wrap or put in a covered container and refrigerate for an hour or two.
Set up the grill for indirect heat, medium temperature. Grill the meat for approx 30 mins each side, any remaining fat should be crispy and brown (may take more or less time, depending on chop thickness and grill temperature). Brush with barbecue sauce when chops are almost done. Serve with extra barbecue sauce.

Are Hardee’s Biscuits From Scratch?
Feb 9, 2010 Recipes
I have a friend who used to work for Hardee’s and he said that their biscuits are made from a mix, either adding milk or water, probably the latter. How can they say that they’re “made from scratch” when they’re not? From scratch (to me, a baker) means combining FRESH ingredients and immediately baking them. No one ever touted a Betty Crocker Chocolate Cake Mix as being from scratch.
In my opinion if you really want to make biscuits from scratch then this is the recipe to use.

Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies
This is a great little peanut brownie recipe.
1 boxed brownie mix for a 13×9 pan, prepared according to box directions
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup sugar
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. Line a 13×9 pan with aluminum foil, spraying the bottom of the foil-covered pan with cooking spray.
Prepare peanut butter swirl: using a stand mixer, beat peanut butter, sugar, butter, flour, vanilla, and egg until well blended.
Spread two-thirds of the prepared chocolate brownie batter into the bottom of the pan. Top with 6 large (or 12 small) dollops of peanut butter mixture. Top with remaining 1/3 of brownie batter. With tip of knife, cut and twist through mixtures to create swirled effect.
Bake brownie 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from edge comes out almost clean. Cool in pan on wire rack.
When cool, cut brownie lengthwise into 4 strips, then cut each strip crosswise into 6 pieces.
One thing I want to try is using roasted peanuts with the brownie mix.

It compliments one of my other favorite desert recipes, apple walnut loaf.
