BBQ - Bacon wrapped Chicken

4 chicken breasts cut in thirds (8 pieces)
1/2lbs Bacon slices
salt and pepper to taste
garlic salt
chili powder
brown sugar

Cut each breast into 2 pieces, season all the chicken with the spices, then wrap a couple of bacon slices around each piece, roll in brown sugar and place on a plate and refrigerate for a bit.


Place on the top shelf of a hot grill untill cooked through turning only once and the bacon is crisp.
Honestly...one of the best recipes I have enjoyed in a LONG time!

Bacon Wrapped Green Beans

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoons garlic powder
1 Bag fresh steam in bag whole green beans
1/2 pound sliced  bacon
In a small saucepan, combine first 4 ingredients over medium-high heat. When butter has melted, remove from heat and set aside. Bundle 6 to 7 beans together, wrapping with 1 strip of bacon. 
Place on a baking sheet. Spoon butter mixture over each bundle. Grill on top rack until bacon is crisp


 I took a photo of the finished dish, but it did not save...oh well.  Just take my word for it...This dish was AMAZING!

He's Crafty...

A little toot of the old horn is sometime necessary...
Lindsey wanted some shelves for the kids room after x-mas.  So I went to HD to buy some.  I got there and like most things like this though, "$30! F-that!  I can make that!.
Then unlike most time (I think b/c Linds was not there to pull me back down to earth and remind me of my ADD and that it will never get done) This time I DID make that AND for $25 I made 2 of them!
