This is Mama Miche, and today in my magic kitchen: Smokin' BUTT* Shoulder

Y'all know I medicate with cannabis. I micro-dose all day, and that includes smoking it, but when it comes to smoking meat? My hubster is a rock star. He truly is the king of the grill and smoker, and when he upped his own damn game by coming up with the recipe for our Memphis Mojo Rub, he took the smoker to a whole 'nother level. There's an art to smoking meat, and he is the Monet, Picasso, Van Gogh, and Klimt of the smoker.

The unofficial start to summer is Memorial Day, and what a great way to spend it: smoking meat! Any of the long summer holiday weekends are perfect for this delicious recipe. But why wait for a holiday? Make any weekend special with a great smoked butt! (or shoulder)

This is Mama Miche and today in My Magic Kitchen: Smoked Ribs and Chicken with Memphis Mojo Rub™!

Yes, this week in My Magic Kitchen, we won’t be in the kitchen much at all. It’s officially summer and summer means we smoke! We will let Jeffro do the main course, cuz he is smokin’ ribs and chicken! I smoke the cannabis and he smokes the meat. And today, the meat is some smack yo’ mama fall-off-the-bone, slow-cooked Memphis Mojo Rubbed ribs and chicken. Low and slow. That’s the secret of perfect smoked meat. That and his special Memphis Mojo Rub™.

Entirely his creation that we went through many versions to arrive at. If you know my hubster, you know the Virgo in him makes him profoundly focused and he experimented and kept records of every single detailed alteration of his recipe. It really went from great to mouthgasm. To top it off, he created a delectable BBQ sauce. If you like it saucy, you’ll love this! Now, here’s the shocker about our new blend & sauce. No added sugar!

Today in My Magic Kitchen we are making a popular treat that we serve at our parties. There are many recipes for bacon-wrapped smokies and they’re all very simple. You can just wrap the smoky with the bacon and leave it at that. I mean it’s bacon for God's sake! It’s perfect as it is, right? The Memphis Mojo Rub™ can be used in so many ways, it’s not just for smoking meats, and it really adds so much to this recipe. You can have a touch of maple syrup for your favorite barbecue sauce, which will soon be Jeffro’s own sauce when we bring it to a store near you.

We started calling this crowd-pleasing appetizer favorite “Sin In Damnation” because it is an artery clogger and it’s definitely not kosher. They are so cute, bite-sized, and tasty so it’s easy to overindulge. Never do I recommend doing that. With anything this addictive, exercise caution and moderation. That old expression “too much is never enough” does not apply here! In my experience, it never applies. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing. A little bit of sin in damnation is good for the soul, but too much is bad for the butt!
