I love dips. For any occasion, a good dip is the center of the snacking table, bringing folks together! Holiday parties, birthdays, and of course the almighty Super Bowl!

So, if you're looking for a simple and delicious dip for your next event or family gathering, Here it is! Be sure to make a double batch, or you may not get any!

​Recipe: 

​8 ounces Sour Cream
2 Tbsp J Christopher Co. The Rub spice blend
1 tsp Chili powder (optional)* 

Combine both The Rub and sour cream in a mixing bowl, and blend well, until thoroughly mixed.

​*Add the chili for an extra kick, or leave out for a smooth, full flavor.

Let rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator to chill and firm up.

Serve with veggies, chips, or your favorite other foods you dip. A sure fire hit at your next party, the guests will be asking for the recipe!

I love any type of BBQ, smoked, grilled or plain fire roasted ANYTHING. This one is special, from my buddy Zach over at Holy Smokes BBQ. He really knocked it out of the park with this one!

I love slow cooked meals. Pot roast is one of my favorites, and this adaption is to die for! The Chuck Roast melts with every bite and the Polenta gives a nice texture and background that is just right. Definitely a family pleaser or get-together main course. 

Most folks think of a post roast filled with carrots, potatoes, and other veggies. This one allows you to add fresh veggies to your meal! I'd recommend a wilted kale and chard salad with this one.

Enjoy!

THE RUB Bloody Mary...

What’s the one thing that makes the day after a long night better? Bloody Marys…

​Here is our version of the classic Bloody Mary, using our J Christopher Co. THE Rub. Absolutely Delicious!

Baby Back ribs... my favorite! And the reason we came up with The Rub. Below shows my good-old-fashioned, every-backyard-barbecue grill version of how to make GREAT ribs! Not everyone has a smoker, Big Green Egg, or Traeger Grill... so, get out the briquettes, get your ingredients, and fire up that grill!
