It was hard to pick just one recipe from, Joy Bauer's Food Cures book.  The recipes are all easy and sound delicious.  I finally settled on, Rosemary Chicken, and was excited to get the ingredients and begin cooking.

When I arrived at our local grocery store, they were almost out of chicken.  I was shocked!  All they had was a package of cut up chicken pieces and one lonely package of chicken tenders.  That seems to be a problem I am running into more and more.  Stores are just not ordering enough stock. 

I didn't have time to go to another store, so I settled for the chicken tenders.  It turned out perfect.  The chicken was full of flavor without being spicy.  I will be making this recipe again!

Recipe: Grilled Dry Rub Steaks

Grilled Dry Rub Steaks

2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
2 (8 ounce) rib eye steaks

In small bowl, combine paprika, brown sugar, and onion powder.  Mix well.  Rub mixture over steaks.  Grill steaks over medium high heat to desired doneness.  Makes 2 servings.

When mixing up a batch of this dry rub, use the paprika of your choice.  There are so many to pick from.  Sweet Paprika, Smokey Paprika, Spicy Paprika, Chipotle Paprika,  I could go on and on but I think you get the idea.  This recipe is just a starting place.  If you have a picky family, this is a good basic and mild rub to test out on them.  It gives the steak a delicious sweet and savory flavor.

This is the recipe I was cooking up when the rattlesnakes came a calling.  Scrambled Hen Fruit called this recipe "Snake Bait" Dry Rub when she left a comment on Tuesday's post.  Maybe I should change the name, "Snake Bait" Dry Rub, it has a good ring to it. 

I will be drawing a name from my followers to win a copy of my cookbook, MY KIND OF COOKING, next Friday, August 6th.  If your name is drawn and you have a blog, I will mention your blog address on my "Fast Food Friday's" radio show on the The Passion Radio Network, and then post your blog address on my blog.
