Here are some recipes that I have put together over time.

They are a collection of recipes from friends, family, and complete strangers who all joined together for a common cause: great food.

WEEK 1

Citrus BBQ stacked Crackers with Pepper Jack and Mushrooms

All ingredients should be cut to a little under 1/8 an inch.

To prep, cut sausage on a bias, cut Pepper jack, cut mushrooms.

Cook sausage at medium heat for 5 minutes, flipping every now and again.

Add mushrooms to the pan, increasing heat to medium-high for 5 minutes, then turn the heat onto high (the idea is you want to char the sausage a little bit on each side).

De-glaze the pan with orange juice or pineapple, the fresher the better, and allow the mix to simmer on a medium heat for 5 minutes. Use a spoon to get any burnt stuff off of the bottom of the pan when you start doing this because it will add an incredible flavor once it breaks down and adds to the liquid in the pan.

Allow the mix to cool and it should condense into a citrus bar-b-q sauce, sausage and mushrooms. Place sausage on top of a cracker or bread, place mushroom on top of the sausage, and then top it off with a piece of pepper jack. Stick a plain wooden toothpick (without the frill) to stabilize if necessary. Place as many as you can make in a pan and put them on broil at 400% for about 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted, locking in the delicious flavor-ness. Serve and impress.
