Well, looks like another year of blogging, grilling and BBQ’ing is in the books. It was a great year, from the purchase of my new house to winning my first cooking contest; it all went by so fast. And just like a good food junkie I will remember this year by the food I cooked up. Is it wrong that remember the events of my life by the food that I ate??

| Green Chile Chicken Wings with Cream Sauce |
I cooked up some good stuff earlier in the year but it wasn’t until the middle of the year I came up with the Green Chile Chicken Wings with Creama Sauce. A deep fried chicken wing, seasoned with my green chile rub and topped with a creama sauce, simple yet completely delectable. This was the recipe that won the me a brand new Disc-It.

| Green Chile Stew with Smoked Pork |
My personal favorite recipe was the green chile stew. I had been working on the a green chile smoked pork butt dish for a few years and it all finally came together when I made it into a stew. It was the perfect fusion BBQ and New Mexican chile in a single dish. If one dish represents my culinary vision this would be it.

| BBQ’ed Dates and Burnt End |
What best of list does not include a bacon? Not this one. I’ve got two bacon recipes, the Billionaire’s Bacon and the BBQ’ed Date. Both of these recipes pair the rich flavor of bacon with a sweet ingredient for a totally amazing flavor profile. It’s stuff like this that will turn me into one of those crazy bacon junkies.
