Seasoned summer night...

I'm back with another AWESOME opportunity from Crowdtap and McCormick.  This time I was chosen to host a McCormick grilling party.  They provided all of this awesomeness to try:

• Grill Mates® Spiced Brandy & Herb Marinade
• Grill Mates® Slow and Low Memphis Pit BBQ Rub
• Grill Mates® Montreal Steak Seasoning Blend
• Grill Mates® Molasses Bacon Seasoning Blend
• Grill Mates® Brown Sugar Bourbon BBQ Sauce

Here's some of the pre-party layout

 It was all pretty amazing. I used the Slow and Low Memphis Pit BBQ Rub on the ribs, SOOOO GOOD!!  It tasted even better than it smelled, I HIGHLY recommend this one.

Here's a before and during shot for you to drool over:

I had a bunch of chicken to grill up and used the Spiced Brandy & Herb Marinade,  Brown Sugar Bourbon BBQ Sauce and Montreal Chicken Seasoning on it.  There was a big debate about whether the Spiced Brandy and Herb and Brown Sugar Bourbon BBQ Sauce was better.  I personally voted for the Spiced Brandy and Herb, but it was close. I bought some steak to try out the Montreal Steak Seasoning too which was also great. 

On top of all the great meats and seasonings, I had made some recipes I've been wanting to try from Pinterest like Crack bread, Rolo brownie bites, chocolate and sprinkle and chocolate and graham cracker covered marshmallows, beer cheese dip and beer bread and cheesy potatoes. We also had a cornhole tournament and played Texas Hold 'em and Euchre. It was a night of good friends, GREAT food and games!  Thank you Crowdtap and McCormick for the opportunity!
