This week I’m spot lighting a silicone bbq brush! We have always had the regular bbq brushes.  We were getting tired of the hairs always falling out and having to pick them off the meat or whatever it was we were basting/bbq.

Honey Mustard Crusted Salmon

I love salmon it’s one of my favorite fishes. I’m always looking for new ways to serve it because unfortunately my husband isn’t a fan of salmon because it finds it to be too fishy. I typically use a soy sauce/maple syrup glaze on my salmon, so when I saw this recipe in my Cooking [...]
