Garlic Studded Ham with Cherry Glaze in the Nesco is my take on the wonderful specialty ham studded with garlic with a peppery bite to it. If you have not had it, I encourage you to find it and have it. In the meantime, please make this and wow your family and friends. Once you have had this style of ham, you won’t go back.  Roasting it in a Nesco electric roaster makes it even easier without drying out.

Boswell Barbecue Sauce – Smokey, Sweet, Sour and Hot

Boswell Barbecue Sauce

I started making barbecue sauce a couple of years ago when I ran out of storebought and didn’t feel like going to the store to get more. How hard could it be? So, I’ve been working on this sauce and this is just the way we like it. I think you might like it, too. It’s sweet from brown sugar, honey, and molasses, and it’s sour from red wine and apple cider vinegar, and it’s hot from several types of chili. I’m going to put this on our Nesco Baby Back Ribs, but it’s also great on Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken, or anything else you want a sweet and sour hot barbecue sauce.

Healthy Spicy Meatloaf with Wheat Germ

Healthy Spicy Meatloaf

Healthy, Spicy Meatloaf

I really love Lula Kabob.  I was looking at some recipes and found out one of the main ingredients is grated onions that are pressed through a sieve to remove their liquid.  It occurred to me this might be a good idea for my meatloaf.  Usually, I make meatloaf with the vegetables chopped, but still large enough to see them.  It’s good, but I wanted to experiment.  The experiment was successful. The meatloaf had a more consistent flavor and texture.  This will be my method of making meatloaf from now on.

The other thing that I have started adding to my meatloaf is wheat germ. It has a nutty flavor and is very good with yogurt and honey.  It’s also very healthy for you. It’s an excellent source of vitamin E, A, and folic acid as well as a fiber-rich source of high-quality non-animal protein. If you like refined white flour and are missing the benefits of whole grain, this is a great way to supplement your diet – all that nutrition in something that tastes really good.   However, if you are truly gluten intolerant, stay away as wheat germ does have gluten.
