Spice rub recipes

This is easy to make and everyone loved it when I brought it for Thanksgiving dinner. Had several requests so I made it again for Christmas dinner.

Famous for their authentic southern BBQ and gourmet meats, 3Bros Butcher BBQ of Bayside, NY offers this recipe to their customers as a good multipurpose rub. It can be prepared with or without sugar and the cayenne can be added to taste. Use liberally before smoking, grilling, pan searing, or roasting. Also great as an addition to your favorite bbq sauces or as a blackening spice.

Any tender green can be used in this recipe. Wilted and sautéed greens are brightened with Indian spices with a touch of creaminess.

"A tall, impressive cake that showcases the flavors and smells of the holidays. A three-layer extravaganza with a touch of molasses and shredded apple to keep it moist. It fills the house with a fragrance that beats the most expensive holiday-scented candle. It will be talked about long after the party is over." Source: The Pastry Queen Christmas, by Rebecca Rather

"A Contest winning recipe from Oma Rollison (my mother) featured in Reminisce Magazine with her now famous Banana's 'N Cream Bundt cake. A San Diego, Calif. newspaper once dubbed her "The Queen of Country Cooking." (I guess the apple never falls far from the tree.) She's no longer with us, but her wonderful recipes are."

Ginger bread is one of the classic and traditional cookies people make for Christmas. The rich flavor from brown sugar and molasses is so good and the spices make the uniquely delicious taste.

This beautiful spiced apple cake, not only satisfy the eyes but also satisfy your taste. Rich seasonal spices and lovely presentation make this a holiday treat. It's also high in fiber and low in fat! No guilt decadence.

Quick, easy and tasty! Serve it with naan bread, or steamed rice. Kale and chickpeas add varieties of nutrients, and the combination of the spices give lots of flavors as well. An excellent recipe to use up your kale!

A very moist bread. Butternut squash adds the moisture and great flavor into the bread, chocolate chips and walnuts give the extra layers of flavors and textures. The glaze makes the bread looks so attractive. A delicious bread is great at any occasion.

Pumpkin puree and evaporated milk make this bread moist and delicious. It's made with 100% whole wheat flour, but it doesn't look, feel and taste whole wheat at all. It comes out soft and fluffy in the inside, and golden-brown on the outside. The aroma from the oven during the baking makes your entire house smell like a good bakery.

A simple seasoning recipe that can add a kick to any of your meals.

Chickpea, pinto beans, sweet potato and spinach are slowly cooked in crock pot with cumin, coriander, lemon juice and honey. It's an ideal weekday dinner, just throw everything into your crock pot, and push the start button. By the time you are home after work, your hearty and delicious dinner is served.

Very simple, quick and easy recipe. Might even coax some non-tofu people to give it a try. The slices are coated with a gentle smoky spice mixture and cooked in a blackened Cajun style to a lightly crispy exterior then finished with a honey lemon glaze. Great color and great flavor to an otherwise humble protein. Try to find smoked paprika if you can or add a few drops of liquid smoke to the marinade.

An excellent breakfast bread that's made with whole wheat flour, white flour, oats, pumpkin, walnuts and chocolate chips. The cinnamon sugar is swirled into the bread brushed with melted butter. The aroma will fill up your entire house during the baking, and it gives you great flavor, texture and nutrient. Also it can be a very good gift that your friends or family will love for sure!

This moist, buttery and flavorful applesauce pound cake is always a winner at our place, we make it very often, sometimes after main course, sometimes we just have it as our coffee cake with some coffee or tea. It is a wonderful and delightful cake :)

Use the slow-cooker and liquid smoke instead of grilling and wood chips. The result is outstanding, and the pork is packed with flavor.
