Each pack will contain 12 - 18 0z Bottles of their famous BBQ Sauce. Country Bob's offers a assortment of various sauces and seasonings for meat, poultry, fish, vegetables and more. A big thank you to my fellow blogs that help make this giveaway available to all of you.
 


Where do great products come from? Usually they are the result of much time being exerted and a tremendous amount of love being invested. At that point you can say, “That’s mine! I made that.” That’s the way Country Bob Edson created his All Purpose Sauce.


In 1968 Country Bob perfected the sauce of his dreams. After years of giving the sauce to friends and family he began to sell it in 1977. The reaction was overwhelming just as it is today. Almost everyone who tries Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce becomes a lifelong user. And why not, it is the perfect complement to practically any meal set on your table. It was actually October of 1982 when Country Bob, Inc. became the company, which remains today. Bob Edson, Terry Edson, Al Malekovic and Reed Malekovic formed a corporation with equal ownership. Since that time Country Bob’s distribution has magnified regionally in all directions from our corporate office located in Centralia, Illinois. Even with the tremendous growth we have not forgotten where we came from, continuing in our relentless pursuit of product excellence. Along with our All Purpose Sauce we have expanded our product line to include BBQ Sauce and Seasoning Salt as well as Apple Chipotle and Honey Habanero All Purpose Sauce and the newest member to the family Country Bob’s Marinade. With our fully automated bottling line we also have the capability of producing Private Label products for stores or restaurants. It would be nice if we could claim responsibility for the success of the company, however, credit must be given where credit is due. Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.” We have placed true ownership of Country Bob, Inc. in the hands of God. “Christ is our CEO” and He is an Awesome Boss.

New Gooseberry Patch Cookbook Features A Recipe By Me!


I know, this is a shameless self-promotion, but it is so darn nifty!! I was excited to have a recipe added to the newest Gooseberry Patch Cookbook, Christmas Comfort Classics!! How cool is this. This is the 4th recipe I have had published in a book. Hmmm, maybe someday I should listen to my husband and do my own cookbook. LOL!


I absolutely love their cookbooks. They are so easy to use, have a wide variety of recipes and are tried and tested to make sure they are good! Can't beat that. Plus they are priced really well. My recipe is in this one on page 158.


If you want to see what the recipe looks like being made and done, check out this post HERE!

Anyway, check it out and find a copy for yourself or a gift HERE!

I received a copy of this cookbook. This is an unsolicited promotion.

An Impressive BBQ Tool Set Any Serious Grill Master Will Love

I'm guessing most people are starting to think about packing in their barbecue tools and covering up their grill. Usually around this time of year we see most of the homes near us doing those very things. Our family, on the other hand, does not do that. In fact, we grill all year long!

Grilling tools are something that I never gave a whole lot of thought to before. As long as I could flip food over or pick it up, I was fine with whatever I had. My guys though, they have a different opinion on grill tools. The kind we have are important and they love the new set we just got to try out.


The Stainless Steel 3 Piece Barbecue Tool Set from Culinary Couture is one very impressive tool set! I was really surprised at the size of these tools. They are not for the wimpy barbecuer! These are very serious tools.

The set includes a heavy duty spatula with serrated edges, BBQ fork and tongs. All three of these tools come with very nice long handles that are coated for a nice comfortable grip. Grilling can be a hot business and the last thing you need are sweaty hands slipping on tools while you are cooking. The grip on these give you a solid hold even with sweaty hands.


The spatula boasts an over-sized head to easily handle large pieces of steak and will help cut through even a large piece of meat. My son loved how the spatula was able to get the whole burger without any of it hanging over the sides which can increase the chance of them breaking. It also allows you to reach the back of the grill easily.


The fork is nicely sharp and very easily gets into the food you may need to stab to pick up. It's great for reaching those sausages that roll to the back of the grill. The tongs are handy for this as well. I like that the contoured edge of the tongs is at an angle more conducive to how you reach into the grill to grab something. You can reach horizontally over the grill instead of coming in at a vertical angle. I was able to pick up several ears of corn at once.



I found the tools to be a little bit heavy to use, but for the spatula and tongs that was not really a problem. I do have a little problem with the tongs. It is hard for me with my arthritis to operate them. My guys though, really like all three pieces and find them all easy and comfortable to use. They look impressive and work wonderfully. I do like the loops on the spatula and the fork and the curve of the tongs for hanging them up when we are done.


If you know a serious barbecuer, this would make a wonderful gift for them. They will surely appreciate them as much as we do!
