Eats: Where good cooking takes real Moxie

Recipes

Moxie Pulled Pork (From Justin Liudvinaitis)

15 pounds or less Boston butt

1 can Moxie

Place meat and Moxie in a slow cooker and cook 8 hours on low. The meat is ready when a thermometer shows the interior temperature has reached 170 degrees and  meat pulls from the bone. Transfer to a plate to pull apart the meat. With two forks pulling in opposite directions pull meat into strands. Taste and add 1/2 cup cooking liquid to mixture. Add salt and pepper if necessary. Top with Moxie BBQ sauce and serve on a hamburger bun with cabbage or Morse’s Sauerkraut and a pickle on the side.

Moxie Mustard (From Justin Liudvinaitis — took 1st place in 2010)

1/2 cup mustard seeds (brown)

1/2 cup Moxie

Brown sugar

White vinegar

Place seeds and Moxie in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to a week and no less than 2 days. After the seeds have soaked in the Moxie, use a mortar and pestle (or other appropriate grinding tool) and crush seeds to a pasty consistency. When the seeds are at the desired consistency add brown sugar and vinegar, a teaspoon at a time, to obtain the desired consistency of mustard. The longer this ages the more of an English style it will become.

Moxie Whoopie Pies (From Scott Bernier of Winslow — took 3rd place in 2004)

For the "heels":

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

5 tablespoons cocoa

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup shortening

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/3 cup dry milk

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vinegar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup Moxie

Combine all ingredients together except Moxie and salt. In separate container add salt to Moxie. Wait for foaming to decrease and add to rest of ingredients. Beat with electric mixer until smooth. Drop by heaping teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in 350-degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on wax paper completely before frosting with filling.

For the filling:

2 cups confectioners sugar

1 cup shortening

3 tablespoons Moxie

Dash salt

Combine ingredients in bowl and beat until smooth. Frost half the heels and place the other half on top. Makes about one dozen whoopie pies. Eliminate the cocoa for blondies.

Healthy Helper: Whole Grain Wednesdays- Whole Wheat Hamburger or ...

Whole wheat hamburger buns are pretty common in grocery stores now.  But a few years ago, it was really hard to find them, so I thought I would try making my own.  Even though they can be found pretty easily at most any store now, they are still much more expensive than the white variety.  So, whenever I have the time, I like to make my own.  You just can't beat the taste of freshly made buns! This recipe is for the bread machine (it makes a 1 1/2 pound loaf).   I use my bread machine at least once a week because I like the fact I can just throw everything in and come back later to dough that is ready to bake with, or even freshly cooked bread.   I have two special "bun" pans that I got from King Arthur's Flour to make hamburger buns in, but you can just make bun shapes and bake them on a cookie sheet which works great too!  When the machine beeps at the end of the dough cycle, dump the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.  Divide the dough into about 8-10 equal portions depending on how big you like your buns.  For the hamburger buns, form each portion into a tight round.  For hot dog buns, roll each portion into approx. 6 inch cylinder.  Place portions in a greased bun pan, or place on a greased baking sheet.  Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.
