Canada Day BBQ Extravaganza!


Oh, Canada Day! ;) Its like the 4th of July, but with less fireworks/corn on the cob/fireflies and celebrated in red & white instead of stars & stripes. And since there is not much point anticipating fireworks that will never match those of my childhood memories, it really is best to simply engulf ones self in cooking...and eating a huge BBQ extravaganza!

To start off the show, I took some chicken legs with thighs attached, brushed on some Cattle BoyZ BBQ Sauce and then moved on to smother a pork loin (in between the bacon and pineapple) with some Cattle BoyZ BBQ Sauce, then put on some Canadian bacon with just a touch of Cattle BoyZ BBQ Sauce, then I put on some fresh pineapple rings with a brushing of Cattle BoyZ BBQ Sauce and then when that was all nearly cooked I put on the pan of grilled cheese sandwiches...without Cattle BoyZ BBQ Sauce (but I wish I did put some on as it was cooking! ...however, that didn't stop me from dipping it in some of the sauce after it was grilled!)




Okay, so you may have noticed I just mentioned Cattle BoyZ BBQ Sauce way too many times in a row...but let me tell you! This is not just BBQ sauce, it is amazing on everything that I have so far dipped into it! Not just okay, but amazing! And I usually don't care for BBQ sauce, so they did something very right! ;D And the best part...its made locally, right here in Alberta! Its so perfect for Canada day! ;)
Here is a picture of two bottles of BBQ magic (and trust me, you are going to want two of them)
The two pack pictured above is the pack that I got a Costco! This size and the two of them strapped together are a Costco exclusive. But don't fear, if you live outside of Alberta you can order them online or pick one up at Sobeys or Safeway!

Anyway....back to the BBQ...


This was probably the most amazing grilled cheese ever! French bread slices with grated mozzarella, cheddar and maple cheddar cheese (notice the maple? That's right! We are patriotic down to our french maple grilled cheese sandwiches!) 

Grilled fresh pineapple....MMMM! My friend said this was her favorite part of the meal! The sweetness complimented the pork loin, chicken and bacon beautifully! 

Ta da! This is the end result! ...well, actually the end result was half of the dinner party taking turns on the couch...
