Instructions
Cajun Shrimp and Bacon
  1. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until brown and crisp.
  2. Remove bacon from skillet and transfer to a plate. Leave the bacon grease in the pan.
  3. Add a tablespoon of butter to the pan. Then place the shrimp in. Season with the Cajun salt and saute for about five minutes. Remove from pan and place on a plate.
  4. Add garlic, paprika, parsley, bell pepper, and onions to the pan. Then add 1/4 cup of broth. Cook for about two minutes. Add shrimp and juice from the lemon and the bacon.
  5. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
  6. Remove and serve over grits.
Grits
  1. Bring water, milk, and salt to a boil in a heavy saucepan.
  2. Gradually whisk in the grits until all have been added. Keep stirring to prevent any lumps.
  3. Reduce heat and cook at a simmer, covered, and stirring frequently until liquid is fully absorbed. This will take around 15 minutes.

Instructions
For the muffins
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and spray the cups of a muffin pan with baking spray.
  2. Peel and core apple, then chop into bite-size pieces.
  3. In a bowl, toss apple slices with maple syrup, lemon and cinnamon.
  4. In another bowl, whisk Bisquick, eggs, milk and vanilla until thoroughly mixed.
  5. Evenly separate apples into the bottom of each muffin cup
  6. Pour the batter on top of the apples, filling the cups almost to the top.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the pancakes are set.
  8. Allow to cool.
For the topping
  1. Slice bacon into very tiny pieces—almost as small as bacon bits.
  2. Place in a skillet on low heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Place a medium pot of water on the stove and bring it to simmer. Keep on medium-low heat.
  4. In a large bowl, preferably glass, combine the egg whites, sugar and maple syrup with a whisk.
  5. Place the glass bowl over the pot of simmering water. Stir frequently for about 10 minutes, or until the sugars have completely dissolved.
  6. Remove the bowl from the heat and whip on high speed until the mixture is completely cool.
  7. Once cooled, add in butter one tablespoon at a time, whipping at high speed.
  8. Pipe the topping onto the cupcakes and garnish with bacon!
Recipe Notes

For the topping, look for a glass mixing bowl that has a slightly larger circumference than the pot with boiling water.

Also, make sure there is no warmth at all in the topping before the butter is added.

Instructions
  1. To make the garlic sauce, add butter and oil to a skillet over medium heat. Once butter is melted, add garlic and shallot, cooking for 2 minutes. Then mix in flour to thicken and cook for 1-2 minutes more, stirring frequently. Add wine, beer or chicken broth, stirring in slowly. Then slowly stir in milk. Add basil and cook for about 2 minutes more. Sauce should be a thick, velvety consistency. Remove from heat.
  2. Unroll the dough onto a large piece of heavy duty foil thats greased with cooking spray.
  3. Coat the grill rack with canola oil. Get grill up to around 500 degrees F. Place the dough on the rack and peel off the foil.
  4. Cook until the bottom of the dough is golden brown, then flip it for a minute or two. Don't let this side get two brown because it will be the side cooking after adding the toppings.
  5. Remove dough from the grill, top it with chicken, bacon, shredded cheese, mozzarella, and spinach and then spread the sauce over top of the ingredients.
  6. Place pizza back on the grill and close grill lid to contain heat but keep close eye to avoid burning bottom of crust. Pizza is done once cheese is melted, usually no more than 4 minutes.
  7. Remove from the grill, slice and enjoy!

Instructions
  1. Slice each jalapeño open lengthwise, then make a small crosswise cut at the stem end to form a T. Gently open the jalapeños and scrape out the seeds and membranes with a knife.
  2. Add the milk and water to a large bowl and soak the jalapeños for 15 minutes, stirring once or twice.
  3. Meanwhile, mix the cheddar, cream cheese, pulled pork and chili powder in a bowl with your hands.
  4. Drain the jalapeños and pat them dry. Stuff 1 to 2 tablespoons cheese filling into each pepper.
  5. Put the flour in a shallow dish. Whisk the eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in another dish. Put the breadcrumbs in a third dish. One at a time, hold the peppers by the stems and dredge in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, letting the excess drip off, and roll in the breadcrumbs; dip in the eggs again and reroll in breadcrumbs. Transfer to a plate and refrigerate until the coating sets, about 20 minutes.
  6. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 300 degrees F.
  7. Fry the jalapenos in batches, turning until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per batch.
  8. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and serve with barbecue sauce.
Recipe Notes
