Stock Up On BBQ Grilling Ingredients

Ingredients for BBQ Grilling sauces and glazes can be costly and with spring right around the corner, you definitely want to be ready for it. Keeping an ample stock can add up over time, but there is a solution.

The holiday shopping season is the perfect time to get stocked up on many of the ingredients you will need when the summer months arrive. The stores are full of sales and overstock discounts from now until well after the holidays. A lot of these discounts are for the same ingredients we use in the summertime.

Look for things that you can keep in dry storage that might not be so inexpensive in the spring and summer months. Most of these will be in the baking section and this is precisely where most grocers have their biggest sales during the holidays. Take advantage and stock up now.

Here is a short list of things you may find on sale during the winter holiday shopping season for making your favorite sauces, rubs, and marinades this next summer:

  • Brown Sugar
  • Paprika

  • Honey
  • Molasses
  • Ginger
  • Thyme
  • Rosemary
  • Oregano
  • Basil
  • Garlic
  • Peppercorns
  • Sesame Oil
  • Peanut Oil
  • Olive Oil
  • Liquid Smoke
  • Wood Smoking Chips
  • Steak Sauce

The list goes on and on. Make a note of your favorite BBQ ingredients before you head out to do your shopping and see if any of them are on sale at your local market. And while you are at it, take note of the other ingredients that are on sale and try to determine if you can incorporate any of them into the home made BBQ flavors you already love.

Now if you are like me and use more than your fair share of herbs and spices, you can buy large quantities for nearly the price of a small jar even when it is on sale. Check out the selection here for Marshalls creek Herbs and Spices

Get lots of them while they are cheap and stash them in your pantry. Then, when the sun comes out again, open up your stash cupboard and begin creating new masterpieces with your bounty of BBQ grilling ingredients. Enjoy

Christmas BBQ And Smoker Ideas For Outdoors

Do you need ideas for The Christmas Holiday Season-Why not BBQ ribs on the grill? Christmas is the exception to staying indoors for the winter. We fry turkeys outdoors, try out new snow toys, play winter football, and go sledding and skiing. There is no reason we have to stop all that fun to go inside to eat. Why not have a BBQ and really enjoy the fun. Another good idea is to make that smoked salmon for your salmon dip right at home while watching the kids play in the hail rain and snow. Not to mention smoked ham for the holidays. Put kabobs on the grill and cheese in the smoker and enjoy the festivities with the rest of the family. There is no set and fast rule that says BBQ's are only for summertime, if you are outdoors then I say go for it. No matter what the season. Here is another great recipe to make with that smoked salmon. It is hot and fresh, perfect for holiday weather.

Almond-Tomato Soup with Smoked Salmon

4 large, fully-ripe tomatoes (about 2 lbs, cored and quartered) 2 Tbs sweet almond oil or olive oil 1 Tbs sherry wine vinegar or red wine vinegar 1/2 tsp sea salt 1/4 tsp ground white pepper 1/3 cup fresh cucumber; peeled, sliced lengthwise, cored and cut into matchstick-size slivers 1/3 cup fresh celery, very thinly sliced (1 small stalk) 1/4 cup jicama, peeled and cut into matchstick-size slivers 1/4 cup red onion, very finely chopped 1/4 cup smoked salmon, thinly sliced into strips 1 Tbs chopped fresh cilantro 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted Put tomatoes into blender or food processor and puree (about 15 sec.). Turn into a fine sieve and force through to remove seeds. Turn into mixing bowl and whisk in oil and vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. Stir in vegetables and salmon; mix well and chill for at least 2 hours. To serve: Spoon 1 cup each into 4 chilled bowls. Sprinkle each bowl with 2Tbs toasted almonds and some of the chopped cilantro. Drizzle with additional oil, if desired. Serves 4 So next time you get the winter blahs, don't get depressed, get out there and have a Thanksgiving or Christmas BBQ and by all means fire up that smoker. After all, smokers are made for winter recipes. If you need a new bbq or smoker, here is the perfect winter accessory. Char-Griller 2222 Pro Deluxe Charcoal Grill & Smoker

The rage in barbecue is cooking Paella on the grill. An authentic paella pan is the way to go because it can be used right on your bbq grill. These fabulous Spanish rice dishes are great compliment to your summer barbecue.If you haven’t tried paella cooked in an authentic paella pan then you are in for a real treat. Good paella has layers of rice and toppings such as chicken, seafood, and vegetables that are cooked to perfection in an array of seasonings and spices.

The best way to do it properly is to cook it in a paella pan. The Paella pan is designed to cook your rice in a thin layer so that a maximum amount of the paella can absorb the flavors. They are wide and short to accomplish just that which is why the are the best pan for making great paella. The rice should only be about a half inch thick for perfect paella. This pan works great when used on the barbecue grill because of its rather large diameter. You can also use it on the stove top but it will usually take up two burners on your stove.

Every year on the 4th of July Americans try to out do themselves from previous years with their fireworks. This year, why not take it one step further and make 4th of July 2009 the best barbecue party you have ever had? You can begin by choosing from the top gas barbecue grills way before the 4th of July because as our independence day comes closer, all the best grills will begin to vanish from the marketplace.

Once you have your grill picked out and on order, start creating your menu. The best barbecues are usually those that have top quality home made barbecue sauce on hand. You may want to experiment with a few before the 4th of July is here to be sure that you are making your guests the best barbecue that you can. You may even want to offer them a choice on bbq sauce flavors to make their independence day a truly special occasion.

Don’t forget the side dishes, lots of fruit and of course chili or baked beans are always a necessity at a 4th of July barbecue. Remember to make things that are easy to eat outdoors while you are watching your fireworks show as well. Beverages are better served from cans or disposable cups. Since they tend to get lost in all the excitement when the sun goes down and the 4th of July fireworks show begins, you will want to be sure to have lots of extra things to drink at your independence day barbecue.

Sturdy and durable disposable dinnerware is the order of the day on the 4th of July because it will most likely be a warm summer night in your neighborhood and people will want to wander around outside. Locating a couple of highly visible trash receptacles around the grounds to help keep down on the mess is also a good idea.

Make this 4th of July 2009 the best it can be by taking the time to plan a proper get together way in advance. It is sure to be a day of independence you will remember for years to come.
