French Dip sandwich’s tonight. Boneless roast rubbed yellow mustard for a binder and Twisted Taste Beef Buzz. Sous vide for 22 hours at 135 and finished for 12 minutes in a 500 deg oven. Made mushroom onion au jus with the beef juices. Home made rolls using a twist on my focaccia recipe.

When I don't know what to make for dinner I make it up. Sometimes I actually have a hit with the family. Tonight was one of those! Shredded chicken zucchini patties: 3C shredded zucchini well drained. 3C shredded chicken, 1.5 onions chopped, 1/4 # bacon, 2C flour, 1.5T baking powder, 2T TT FaGhettaGarlic. Render the bacon in a deep pan and add the onion and clarify. I used chicken thighs with the skin pulled off and braised them in the onion and bacon, covered. In a large bowl - zucchini, add the juices from braising the chicken. Shred the chicken and add along with the onion & bacon, mix well. Add three eggs and mix. Add the flour, baking powder and FaGhettaGarlic and mix until just combined. Drop in a skillet, spread to patty size with hot oil and fry on each side. Garnish with a couple of dashes of FaGhettaGarlic and serve. Made 8-10 servings - Kids loved it!

Wasn't sure what to make for dinner but had chicken thighs so deboned them, mixed FaGhettaGarlic, sautéed spinach and mozzarella with Ricotta, stuffed the chicken and rolled it up. Placed them in a pan and covered with marinara and some more motz, baked at 400 for 45 min. Huge hit with the kids!

OK, evidently Butt Rub is Trademarked by another seasoning maker and I've been told that I can't use the name. Now for the fun part; time for a contest! We have to come up with another name for my pork rub! I'll send the winner a free bottle of my pork roast rub! Let the games begin!

Our local paper did a nice article on Twisted Taste! I hope this will bring it up: http://www.daily-chronicle.com/2014/05/15/spice-business-started-with-a-pizza-night/am2jzia/?t=Spice+business+started+with+a+pizza+night

The company’s only two employees are Jim and Barb Hancock, proud parents of four children who serve as unpaid marketing ambassadors. Jim Hancock says that his seasonings are great for non-foodies who want to make flavorful meals themselves.
