Texas Style BBQ Recipes#1

Hi everyone!! With it being winter I could not think of a better time to start thinking about summer. Being from Texas summer brings thoughts of grilling outside and ..... BBQ!!!! In the last 30 years I have come up with many great recipes that centered around that Texas tradition of Bar-B-Queing. I even adapted a few so I could do them in the oven when there is a blizzard outside. I know the "real" bar-b-quer will cook no matter what the weather is like but I am a pansy and like to avoid frostbite if possible. This recipe is one that is good any time of the year and it is low in fat but still is flavorful. It can be served with some BBQ chicken or brisket and is a nice side salad. I hope everyone enjoys it. Come see me at my site : http://www.myfoodconsultant.com/ and you can read some of my other blogs at: http://www.cdmworld.com/ Thanks
