HOT OFF THE GRILL

Gayle's Sweet 'N' Sassy Newsletter

Dear (Contact First Name),     

 

Most mothers' get flowers, cards, phone calls, elegant dinners, or any of the other usual trappings of modern Mother's Day. Not that any of these are objectionable, every day at Gayle's Sweet'N'Sassy is a celebration of Mother's Day: Nothing is better than having a mother to whom you can pour out your heart and always count on her understanding. 

Mothers are honored in many countries around the globe. Mothers are mothers regardless of location, culture, or religion. Mothers are nurturers and peace makers by definition. This Mother's Day, honor your mother with a good old fashioned day of barbecuing and relaxing. A laid-back  and casual barbecue is a great way to celebrate Mother's Day, especially if you have lots of special ladies with whom you want to celebrate. In most regions of the country, May offers great weather. Gayle's Sweet'N'Sassy can help you create a one-of-a-kind barbecue celebration.

This Mother's Day, I honor my mom Joyce who has been my greatest supporter through
out my life. She is the one who encouraged me to follow my dreams, and constantly told me that anything I put my mind to with hard work and dedication, I could achieve. Thank you for always believing in me, as it gave me the strength when the wall of life came between me and my dreams. She gave me the sense of self-worth to know that anything is possible. I look to pass on that message to my  daughters Alie and Kaitlyn, and all the dreamers in the world.
Happy Mother's Day mom, I love you.

Marinated Chicken Wings 

 

Ingredients

20 whole chicken wings (about 4 lbs)
1 Bottle of Gayle's Sweet 'N' Sassy Chipotle Barbecue Sauce (or other favorite flavor of Gayle's)

Directions

Cut chicken wings into three sections; discard wing tips. Place in a large resealable plastic bag.  Add enough BBQ sauce to coat the chicken; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate overnight.

Transfer chicken and marinade to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Cook, covered, on low 3-4 hours or until chicken is tender. Using tongs, remove wings to a serving plate. Yield: 20 servings.

Note: To brown wings before serving, preheat broiler. Using tongs, remove wings from slow cooker to a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil 3-4 in. from heat 3-5 minutes or until lightly browned.

 

BBQ Shrimp and Pineapple Kabobs

Ingredients: 
6 large  shrimp (1/4 lb.), peeled, deveined 
6 chunks fresh pineapple (1-1/2 inch) 
6 oz. green pepper (1-1/2 inch) 
6 wedges onion (1-inch wide) 
1/4 cup  Gayle's Honey Sweet Barbecue Sauce

Directions: 
PREHEAT grill to medium-high heat. Using four long wooden skewers (pre-soak in water so they do not burn), place two skewers, side-by-side on clean work surface.

THREAD shrimp onto each set of two parallel skewers alternately with the pineapple, peppers and onions. (You will have two kabobs.)

GRILL kabobs 4 to 6 min. or until shrimp turn pink, turning and brushing occasionally with the barbecue sauce. Serve over hot cooked rice.

Substitute boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces, for the shrimp. Grill and brush with Gayle's Extra Sassy Barbecue Sauce.

Mother's Day BBQ...
  Entertaining Ideas
  • To keep the theme casual yet classy, forget checkered cloths and picnic tables. Set out intimate settings for groups of four to six, preferably at round tables (covered with simple white linens) to encourage easy conversation.
  • Randomly place on each table as well as the buffet table little tea lights and bud vases with just one simple, but brightly colored flower.
  • Leave a little blank card with a pen at each table setting. Encourage each guest to write a simple "thank you" to the guests of honor - the moms!
  • Set up a beverage station that encourages guests to help themselves to water, soda, beer and wine. If you choose to offer cocktails, prepare several pitchers in advance so no one has to tend bar.
  • Make sure you provide something fun for guests to do outside (besides eat!), such as croquet or ping-pong.
Mother's Day checklist:
  • Tea lights/candles
  • Small bud vases
  • Fresh flowers (enough to fill each bud vase with one flower)
  • Tables/chairs
  • White linen tablecloths
  • Blank white cards
  • Pens
  • Ping-pong table or croquet set
  • Beverages of your choice
  • Don't forget the groceries!
