Slice the sausage into disks about three-quarters of an inch thick and cut the sliced bacon in half. Wrap a half-slice of bacon around the outside of each of the sausage disks and secure with a toothpick. The wrapped sausage should resemble a little cup, with part of the bacon slice extending above the top of the sausage. Add a teaspoon or so of brown sugar to the top of the bacon-sausage cups, and they are ready for the smoker. They can be placed directly on the grate or in a shallow pan @ 220 degrees. When they're done, the sugar will be melted and the bacon will have begun to get crispy. Note: Try placing some red pepper flakes under the sugar. Or give them a shake of black or red pepper on top. Half fry the bacon before wrapping the sausage. This will greatly speed up the cooking time. Cheesy BBQ Kale Chips submitted by ki Hearty sprinkling of Romano or Parmesan cheese (not the powdered stuff from the can, it won't work right, use the shredded stuff in a tub. It's not that expensive. Or use a microplane and grate some off a wedge, it's even less expensive, and lasts.. roughly.. FOREVER in the fridge) 1 bunch of Kale, washed, dried thoroughly and with the stems removed garlic powder salt 7 TSP Forum Cookbook Appetizers Cheesy BBQ Kale Chips (Continued) smoked paprika Olive oil Lay your washed and dried (the drier you get it the better. I used a salad spinner and it came out great) kale on a sheet pan. Spritz it with olive oil (if you don't have an olive oil spritzer, you can use PAM but the taste won't be the same). Sprinkle the salt, garlic and paprika on the kale. Then sprinkle on the cheese. You're not looking to cover the kale, just give it a nice sprinkling. Don't go too heavy or your kale won't crisp enough. Bake at 300 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on it because it can go from crispy perfect to blackened burnt in no time. Once it's crispy (and the cheese will help you determine this, once the cheese gets nice and golden brown it should be done) pull it out, and eat! SO yummy! This method also works on Brussels sprouts too, just cut the bottom of the sprout off, cut them in half from top to bottom, and peel the layers apart. Spread the layers out on a pan, sprinkle with seasonings and bake! Jalapeno Poppers submitted by cohutt I halve them, add sharp cheddar/cream cheese mix, cover with 1/5th slice of bacon. Doing it this way I can eat more peppers/less bacon vs wrapping a hunk of bacon around them, but still plenty of bacon flavor. Make these up ahead and freeze. Bake in 350 degree convection oven for about 15 minutes (from freezer) or on grill. 8 TSP Forum Cookbook Beverages Cold Brew Coffee Pine Needle Tea Rhi's Baileys Weed Smoothie World's Best Egg-Nog 9 TSP Forum Cookbook Beverages Cold Brew Coffee submitted by JohnnyGrey I discovered this method of brewing a while ago, I believe Burger King makes its coffee this way. I bought the system called "Toddy" (there are probably several others), just a glass pitcher, a plastic tub with a rubber stopper and a few reusable filters. You just put a pound of coffee and 9 cups of water in the top and after 24 hours, put the tub over the pitcher and pull the stopper. The result is a super concentrated coffee liquid that you add 3 parts water to and get very good low-acid coffee without using any energy at all. I put the concentrate in ice trays so before I go to work, I put three cubes in a mug, add water and microwave for 5 minutes. Much better than going through a drive through window each morning like i used to. Pine Needle Tea submitted by steeltownknight Always available and very abundant. It is very sad and ironic that so many early settlers died or suffered from scurvy when they were surrounded by a tree whose needle like leaves are a rich source of Vitamin C. Pine needle tea consumed warm is great for colds, chest congestion and upper respiratory illnesses, though it is also rumored to help with many other ailments as well. It is packed with antioxidants, vitamin C and vitamin A. Recipe• ½ cup of pine needles, green young needles are best • 1.5 pints of water • Heat water on low in a stainless steel or cast iron pan (do not use aluminum) Do NOT BOIL ! • Add the pine needles, simmer for 20 -30 minutes any longer will make very bitter tea. • Turn off stove (or remove from camp fire) and let steep covered for 2 hours You can add honey, sugar, maple syrup White pine needles have 5 needles on each sprig…and tea made from this variety contain more vitamin C than is contained in 6 lemons ! but you can use any pine or fir tree ( But NOT YEW, which can be toxic. Pregnant women should not drink pine needle tea. 10 TSP Forum Cookbook Beverages
