Nothing screams summer like backyard bbq. On July 30, Chef Brian taught a Shirley J BBQ Cooking Class. We learned how to grill a pizza, make bbq pork and ribs and make a variety of BBQ sauces–all using Shirley J BBQ Sauce Mix.

In case you missed the class, here’s all the recipes and a few tips for bbq success.

Grilled BBQ Pizza
You’ll start with a thin sourdough crust made with Shirley J Sourdough Bread Mix then top it off of tangy bbq sauce made with Shirley J BBQ Sauce mix add toppings like corn, cheddar cheese, green onions and cooked chicken breast strips.

Quick tip: Always have all of your ingredients cut up and ready to put on the pizza before you start grilling. The process goes by quickly.

Next up: BBQ Ribs and BBQ Pork.

Treat your friends and family to the spirit of summer with tantalizing ribs drenched in your own homemade BBQ sauce. Shirley J’s foolproof just-add-water sauce mix guarantees the perfect tangy enhancement to tender ribs. Or try our BBQ Pork.

Quick tip: Never cut the fat off of your roast meats.

The most popular use for Shirley J BBQ Sauce Mix is to make your own BBQ Sauce. Shirley J’s one-of-a-kind BBQ Sauce mix makes BBQ fun, easy and delicious. Simply add water to our mix and you’ll have a zesty yet sweet compliment to any bbq dish. But don’t stop there, our BBQ Sauce Mix is so versatile you can mix just about any flavor in many forms to make bbq sauces unique to you.

Karen Peterson, food blogger, cookbook author and slow-cooking expert recently taught a class at Shirley J. She taught us why you can and should use a slow cooker, what kind of slow cooker to buy, food safety, cleaning your slow cooker, how to convert conventional recipes into slow cooker recipes and great tips for slow cooking success!

Attendees were able to try three delicious, slow-cooked dishes using Shirley J products. Head on over to Karen’s blog for the recipes.

Shirley J BBQ Country Ribs (BBQ Sauce Mix and Onion Seasoning)
Easy Beef Stroganoff (Shirley J Universal Sauce and Chicken Bouillon)
Creamy Lemon Artichoke Pasta (Shirley J Universal Sauce, Chicken Bouillon and Onion Seasoning)

Karen Petersen is a stay-at-home mom to two kids who decided, somewhat on a whim, to cook 365 different slow cooker recipes over the course of one year. She is the author of the blog, 365 Days of Slow Cooking and she also blogs for Today’s Mama about slow cooking.

At the completion of her slow cooking goal, she authored a cookbook that has over 250 of the best recipes of her year-long quest. She enjoys running, anything chocolate, reading and bargain-hunting.

Shirley J Holiday Gift Loaves

By Shirley J Thursday December 3, 2009

0 Comments

Tuesday night’s Shirley J cooking class had the perfect theme to kick off December. We’ve always said that Shirley J makes the greatest gift..in our Holiday Gift Loaves cooking class, Chef Brian showed us a new way to use Shirley J Universal Muffin Mix.

For years, neighbors have exchanged goodies during the holiday season. Cookies, veggie platters, cheese balls…you name it. And, chances are you’ve been handed some of that classic or rather notorious fruit cake.

Well, Shirley J thought we’d take that fun tradition and mix it up, and better yet…simplify it.

To start off, Chef Brian talked about the Universal Muffin Mix and quick breads in general. And in light of the theme, he brought up two volunteers to help make some “fruitcake.”

Each cooking volunteer was able to choose from a large variety of ingredients that are usually included in traditional fruitcake.

After that Chef Brian started right into three different type of holiday gift loaves.

Apple Cinnamon

Get the Apple Cinnamon Bread recipe here.

Cherry Chocolate Bread

Get the Cherry Chocolate recipe here.

Lemon Poppy Seed Bread

Get the Lemon Poppy Seed Bread recipe here.

Chef Brian even taught us how to zest a lemon, rather any citrus, in this video. Don’t miss it!

Chef Brian’s tips for making quick breads and using the Shirley J Universal Muffin Mix:

The fun with gift loaves and quick breads doesn’t end here. Play around with different flavors. And as Chef Brian said, he often gathers recipe inspiration from childhood memories. So think back and start experimenting. The possibilities are endless.

See other tips that were tweeted live during the demo on the Shirley J Twitter page!

..and let us know what you thought of the class. What flavor combinations have you tried?

Crescent Dinner Rolls

Ingredients:
6 c. Shirley J Sweet Roll, White or Wheat Bread Mix
2 T. instant dry yeast
1 ½ c. warm water (variable)
butter (melted)

Directions:

Using an electric mixer, add Shirley J Bread Mix to bowl. Add yeast and blend for about 15 seconds. Add warm water and mix for 1 minute. Increase speed and mix for about 10 minutes. Dough is developed when it is smooth, dry, and extensible. Remove dough and put in medium-sized bowl and cover. Place bowl in warm area of kitchen and let rest for 15 minutes.

After letting dough relax, place on floured cutting board, cut dough in half and set one piece aside. Take the other piece and flatten out into a circle. Lightly brush top of dough with the melted butter

Like you would cut a pizza, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Starting with the wide end, roll each piece toward the center and tuck the pointed end underneath. Repeat for the other dough. Place each piece on a half sheet-sized baking pan, 4×6 pattern.

Place rolls in a warm area and cover. Let rise approximately 40 minutes.

Bake in a pre-heated 370*F oven for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and brush lightly with melted butter.

Makes (24) 1.5-ounce rolls.

3 Fall Soups Cooking Class Recap

By Shirley J Wednesday October 28, 2009

0 Comments

We’d like to thank everyone who came to last nights cooking class. Chef Brian Richter taught us how to make three delicious fall soups, all using Shirley J Universal Sauce! The test kitchen was full of great smelling food, fun people and a wealth of culinary information.

We’ve posted all the recipes online at Shirley’s Kitchen, just click on the links below for each soup. Below each recipe you’ll find hot tips Chef Brian shared during the demo. We’ve added photos to both our Flickr and Facebook pages! Please enjoy!

New England Clam Chowder
* Be sure to add your onions first. Let them brown before you add the garlic.
* Don’t burn the garlic, or it will become bitter. Always add the garlic after the onions because garlic has a higher sugar content. Garlic is not forgiving.
* Cumin – Chef Brian loves incorporating cumin into savory dishes that are creamy. The cumin brings out the creaminess.
* 5 minute rule on dried herbs – add dried herbs (like cayenne) a little at a time. Start small, wait 5 minutes. Then test and adjust.
* You can chop the potatoes and boil side by side as you start to saute the vegetables in this recipe

Tomato Parmesan Soup
* Diced tomatoes – Chef Brian suggests using diced tomatoes as oppposed to crushed. Crushed has a higher water content and changes the texture of the soup.
* Garlic – Make sure to add garlic after the onions have browned because garlic has a higher sugar content and may burn.
* Dried Herbs – Adding the basil and thyme to the sauteed vegetables before adding liquids allows the herbs to awaken and aides in a more developed flavor.

Midwestern Chowder
* Potatoes – Chef Brian prefers russet potatoes because they bring a better texture and are not as crumbly in soup.
* Cutting Vegetables – When cutting vegetables, always keep in mind that they should fit on your spoon.

Hot tip on using Shirley J Universal Sauce: If you have any cream-based recipe, just subtract the milk, cream, flour and/or butter and add Shirley J Universal Sauce in it’s place! You can still add all your favorite ingredients and make soup from scratch! It’ll save you time and a few calories!

And don’t forget…this Friday at nooon we are having another cooking class: “A Shirley J Halloween!” Come hungry, leave a better cook!
