Growing up my family loved Red Lobster. My favorite was always the shrimp scampi — pure shrimp, garlic butter, no noodles. My dad asked if I could recreate it at home. Challenge accepted. After a couple of tries I got it. This is a dead ringer.
I have a lot of recipes that require clarified butter, but I have never posted how to make clarified butter. Clarified butter is basically butter fat without the milk solids in it. So it has a higher smoke temperature and a longer shelf life. It is great for sautéing and other applications that require higher temps….
We have been contemplating a new logo for the barbecue team for a little while now. People really didn’t get the Red Hot part of Rex’s Red Hot BBQ. Everyone kept asking us if our barbecue was hot. To be honest we picked it as it flowed quite nice. After answering so many questions regarding…
With the Polar Vortex bearing down on us last week, I was craving some comfort food. Nothing says comfort like, Shepard’s Pie. A hearty meat stew topped with potatoes. Delicious! This recipe was so delicious that I found myself going for thirds. Yep, take that seconds. Hopefully you will enjoy as much as we did….

I love barbecue! That meaty/smokey flavor that can only be accomplished after hours of smoking meat over hot coals. I do it all of the time, but sometimes you want great barbecue in less than 8 hours. That is why I love chicken. It cooks fast (in terms of barbecue at least), takes on smoke…
Well it is the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and I want to give my annual quick tips. Thanksgiving can be a stressful time for any cook. Accepting or asking for help is not a sign of weakness. It can the one thing that keeps you sane during this sometimes stressful holiday. Below I have listed a…
Sorry for the long interval between posts. Dana and I have been very busy. Plus, our camera was broken. Therefore, I was unable to take photos for the blog. However, we discovered that we had an old point and shoot camera. It takes mediocre shots, so please forgive the photos. We were thinking of dishes…

Dana has been wanting to make some of her childhood recipes, so I told her to go for it. So here is Dana with another great recipe. The other day I was wracking my brain over what to cook for dinner that would please our almost two year old. I started to think back on…
I am always looking for quick and delicious dishes for weekday meals. So I find that a good stir-fry is awesome! I had some shrimp lying around and mixed together a great stir-fry that I had to share with you guys. It has a nice spicy garlic sauce that hits all areas of your taste…
This past weekend I competed in the Sam’s Club BBQ Tour, in Richmond. It was a great contest that was close to home. This year we have had a slow start in the competition circuit. Our scores have been pretty consistent in ribs and pork. Our brisket has been horrible and my chicken has been…
My Father-In-Law Bill has a great garden and has been harvesting tomatoes for the past couple of weeks. He utilized the fresh tomatoes to make a great homemade bruschetta. It is a delicious recipe with extremely fresh ingredients. It is a must try. So here is Bill’s first guest post. Take it away Bill. Bruschetta…
One of my loyal readers is Joaquin “Jack” Garcia, the man behind the book The Making of Jack Falcone. Â We have been interacting through Facebook, mostly about bacon, and a few other food related topics. Â He sent me a signed copy of his book. Â After reading it, I decided to name a glorious pizza after…
I love pizza. However, I have never been able to recreate pizzeria style pizzas. Then I stumbled upon High Gluten Flour. I know what you are thinking, Rex is bucking the trend of gluten free. It is true, gluten can be your friend. Especially when you are making pizza dough. I am not talking about…
This week is the busiest week of the year for most grills and barbecues. Happy July 4th to everyone! Get out there and make some hamburgers and hot dogs. If you are feeling adventurous try a few of the following. I have prepared a list of some of my favorite summer dishes.
Dana has been wanting to make mushrooms ever since we made the mushroom sauce for the steaks a couple of weeks ago. She said that her Mom used to make mushrooms as a side dish all of the time. She said that she would always fight her brother for them. So she called her Mom…
While in the Midwest visiting family, Dana and I were introduced to beer bread. The bread comes in a mix and all you have to do is add beer. It was great, but the mix costs an arm and a leg. Highway robbery if you ask me. So I decided to try to make my…
