BBQ Brown Sugar Pork Loin

Marinade: marinade for 2-4hrs

1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup pineapple juice
1 tablespoon dehydrated onion flakes
4 tablespoons canola oil
2 Tbs Habanero Olive Oil (optional)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

*Save marinade after you place pork loins on the grill.  Slowly heat marinade to a slight boil for 15 min to make it safe to eat.  Add 1/2 tsp of corn starch to thicken if desired.  I added another cup of brown sugar to make it a bit sweeter:)

Turn Grill on med/high heat.  Be sure oil the grill before cooking.  Cook on each side approximately 6 min each side.  Lower the heat to med and cook another 10 min each side.  Baste the thickened marinade on each side.  **Cook as long as you prefer this is just a suggestion 145-160 degrees**

White Texas Sheet Cake submitted by Melanie~thesisterscafe.com

1 c. butter
1 c. water
2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c. buttermilk or sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda

Frosting:
1/2 c butter
1/2 c buttermilk or milk
4 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp almond extract (or vanilla if you prefer)
pinch of salt
1 c. chopped walnuts, optional

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a small saucepan, bring 1 c. butter and water to a boil. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt, mix to combine. Add hot butter mixture to wet, stir. Add buttermilk or sour cream to the cake mixture, blend. Then, add eggs and vanilla, blend. Grease large jelly roll pan, and pour batter into pan. Bake for 30 minutes, or until done. Do not overcook, the cake should not be brown! Let cake cool 20 minutes before making frosting, you want it to be slightly warm when you frost it. For the frosting, in a small saucepan, combing the 1/2 c. butter and 1/2 c. buttermilk or milk, bring to a boil. In a large bowl, measure out 3 cups of powdered sugar and a pinch of salt, pour hot mixture and almond extract over powdered sugar, and mix to combine, adding more sugar to reach desired consistency. You don’t want the frosting to be thick. Since the mixture is hot, as it cools, it will harden. Look for the consistency of slightly runny pudding. Spread frosting on the cake quickly as the frosting cools fast! Sprinkle with chopped nuts. OR you can add the nuts to the frosting before you frost the cake.

Tin Foil dinners

Ingredients: 1-1/2 lbs ground beef 4 large carrots, chopped 4 large potatoes, diced 1 large onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional) seasoning salt and pepper, to taste tin foil Directions: So easy - Divide the meat into fourths, and put each portion into flat sheets (about 12 inch square) of foil. Pile a desired amount of the remaining ingredients into your own individual meal. Be very generous with the salt when seasoning your uncooked pocket of awesome. Put more than you think you will need. Somehow, the salt kinda disappears during the cooking process, so be generous. When the foil dinner is built according to your desires, wrap it up in the foil much like you would wrap a present. When it's nice and sealed all around, I typically wrap it again, upside-down. This ensures it's sealed, but also keeps it from burning. Place your dinner very close to (or even directly on) a pile of hot coals/briquettes. Cook for approximately 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
