How to Roast Turkey Legs
One of my favorite things to enjoy when I lived down in Texas was turkey legs. They always had turkey legs at Trader’s Village in Grand Prairie just outside of Dallas, which is an enormous flea market, and they must have sold hundreds of these turkey legs on any given day on the weekends. These turkey legs were smokey and barbecued to perfection. We are not BBQ’ing tonight. Instead, we are roasting these gorgeous legs and...

How to Make Honey Garlic Pork Ribs in the Oven
One of my favorite dishes my mother makes is her Honey Garlic Pork Ribs she does not on the BBQ, but she boils them and finishes them in the oven for that perfectly done, fall-off-the-bone meat that you are craving. If you so desire, you may finish the ribs on the BBQ just the same on a medium flame, just to get those great grill marks, and char-grilled flavor. I’m not crazy about “red sauces” on my meat or BBQ, and...
