Smoked Beef Brisket

My husband loves to smoke meat, you don't have to have a smoker you can actually use your charcoal grill. Just google how to smoke meat on your grill.

I always buy a large brisket because I can make 3-4 meals out of it. The last one I bought was 14lbs, it did cost me $30. If you divide that by 3 it comes out to be $10 per meal and I have a family of 4 so you can't beat that!

Make sure you season your brisket well, top, bottom and all sides, whatever seasoning you like.

What you want to do is get your grill ready to smoke we normally use hickory or cherry wood chunks for the beef brisket. Once your grill is ready place your brisket on the grate (make sure you have a foil pan under it to catch the drippings). You want your temperature to get to around 250 degrees. You will smoke a brisket for 1 hour to an hour and 15 minutes per pound. For our last brisket my hubby smoked it about 15 hours. He normally starts it in the middle of the night.

Once it is cooked, wrap it in foil and put in a cooler for a couple hours to let it rest. After that you can cut it into slices or shred it however you want to do it.

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
