Bush's Gameday Grub: Memphis Dry-Rubbed Wings

Last weekend I hosted a driveway tailgate party for our church youth group and our pastors. The party was sponsored by Bush Brothers , and we had a wonderful time of fun, food, and fellowship while we cheered on our hometown Boise State Broncos. The weather was absolutely perfect for our cookout. It was calm and sunny with temperatures in the high 60's.

Butternut-Ale Soup

This soup was inspired by two dishes that I enjoyed during my recent trip to St. Louis. The first was a hearty butternut squash at The Farmhaus , and the second was a cheddar-jalapeno soup made with Budweiser at the Anheuser-Busch brewery . I took what I found to be the best aspects of each soup and combined them. Fall is a great time for a butternut squash soup, but I thought that I could bring some beer to the party.

Candied Bacon & Praline Ice Cream

Earlier this month I posted my Pig Pralines recipe and I promised that they would be used in ice cream. Well, the time has come and here it is. This is a serious experiment in porcine dessert indulgence. It's rich and creamy homemade vanilla ice cream with tidbits of pig candy and bacon-infused pralines riddled throughout. The savory, sweet and slight spiciness of the bacon are magical with the cool creaminess of the ice cream.
