SUMMERTIME AND THE LIVING IS EASY, ESPECIALLY IF
YOU KNOW HOW TO ENTERTAIN FAMILY AND FRIENDS WITH A RECIPES THAT
DON'T LEAVE YOU STRESSED OUT.
MY FAVORITES.
WELL JOINING ME THIS MORNING ARE TWO VERY SPECIAL GUEST.
I'VE GOT WITH ME ONCE AGAIN CHEF SARAH MULTIN, AND MICHEAL
CRUISE, WHO IS WITH COLUMBUS FOODS.
WELCOME SIR!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, AND THANK YOU KEN FOR HAVING ME, AND
HAVING YOU AND HAVING ALL OF US, AND YOU KNOW WHAT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE HAVING?
I LOVE HAVING A BARBEQUE USUALLY IN THE SUMMER TIME.
RIGHT.
BUT YOU KNOW I'M SO USED TO THE SAME OLD, SAME OLD, SOMETIMES
ITS KIND OF LIKE FUN TO JUST CHANGE IT UP.
BRING SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO THE PARTY.
TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT WELL, YOU KNOW ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE
AN INTERNATIONAL SALAMI.
"OHHH" WE HAVE A SALAMI IN MANY DIFFERENT FLAVORS TODAY THAT I'M
SORT OF GOING TO PLAY WITH.
OK, AND MICHEAL I'M GOING TO BRING YOU IN BECAUSE I LOVE
SALAMI.
SURE, YEAH.
I LIKE THEM SPICY TOO!
YES WE HAVE ALOT OF THEM, YES WE DO.
TELL ME ABOUT THE SALAMIS YOU HAVE.
WELL, WE HAVE A WIDE VARIETY OF SALAMI, WE MAKE TRADITIONAL
ITALIAN SALAMI, BUT WHAT WE'VE DONE HERE, THIS IS OUR
INTERNATIONAL LINE OF SALAMI, SO IT'S MADE WITH A TRADITIONAL
SPICES, FLAVORS FROM AROUND THE WORLD, FROM SPAIN, FROM FRANCE,
FROM CAJUN FROM RIGHT HERE.
SO WE HAVE A WIDE VARIETY OF THINGS.
HOW MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF GRAB AND GO DO YOU HAVE?
WE HAVE ABOUT TEN DIFFERENT FLAVORS.
SO ALL THE SPICES ARE IMPORTED, WE USE REALLY TRADITIONAL
AUTHENTIC FLAVORS IN OUR SALAMI.
AND THEY'RE JUST EASY TO SLICE AND PREPARE.
YOU KNOW THESE, WHATS GREAT ABOUT THE GRAB AND GO LINE IS
YOU REALLY ARE, THEY ARE GRAB AND GO.
YOU CAN TAKE THEM ANYWHERE YOU CAN TAKE THEM ON A PICNIC, YOU
CAN USE THEM ON RECIPES, THEY ARE VERY VERSITALE PRODUCTS.
LET ME SHOW YOU ONE THAT I ACTUALLY FOUND OUT FROM YOU ALL.
WHICH IS THIS WONDERFUL APPETIZER OF STUFFED JALEPENOS.
OHH I LOVE JALEPENOS.
OH I KNOW DON'T WE ALL.
AND SO WERE GOING TO START WITH, THIS IS YOUR CHORIZO SALAMI
RIGHT?
CHORIZO.
RIGHT, WHICH IS SO INTERESTING, I NEVER THOUGHT OF THOSE TWO
THINGS IN THE SAME SENTENCE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
OH YES.
BECAUSE CHORIZO BEING THE MEXICAN OR THE SPANISH SPICY
SAUSAGE WHICH HAS A LOT OF PEPPRICA IN IT, AND DOES YOURS
HAVE A LOT OF PEPPRICA IN IT?
WE USE AN IMPORTED PEPPRICA, ITS A SMOKED, SO IT'S A REALLY
AUTHENTIC FLAVOR TO IT.
SO THERES A LITTLE BT OF WARMTH TO IT, A LITTLE BIT OF HEAT, BUT
JUST REALLY NICE ROUNDNESS IN FLAVOR.
HE'S LIKE USING ALL THESE WORDS THAT I KNOW.
I KNOW WE'RE JUST GETTING SO HAPPY.
LET ME JUST SAY WHATS IN HERE IS, WE HAVE SOME CREAM CHEESE,
SOME FONTINA, SOME CHEDDAR, YOU CAN USE WHATEVER CHEESES YOU
WANT, BUT THIS IS A NICE MIX.
WITH THE CHORIZO, AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO WRAP THIS WITH A LITTLE
BIT OF BACON.
AND YOU CAN SET THESE UP A HEAD OF TIME.
AND THIS IS WHY THIS IS SO GOOD FOR SUMMERTIME ENTERTAINING
BECAUSE YOU CAN JUST SET IT UP A HEAD, AND THEN JUST POP IT IN
THE OVEN AT THE LAST MINUTE, AND WE HAVE SOME OVER HERE.
CHRISTI IF YOU WANT TO TRY, YUMMY YUM.
OK I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME OTHER STUFF.
THIS I ACTUALLY TRIED EARLIER IN THE MORNING I COULDN'T RESIST
WHICH IS UNBELIEVABLE.
WELL LET ME TELL YOU THATS REALLY- THATS A FUN TAKE ON RED
BEANS AND RICE.
WHICH IS A DISH SERVED IN NEW ORLEANS ALL THE TIME.
RIGHT, RIGHT.
WHEN I SAW YOU HAD A CAJUN SALAMI, WELL IT'S PERFECT IN
THIS.
I TURNED IT IN TO A SOUP.
SO IT'S GOT THE HOLY TRINITY WHICH IS CELERY, ONIONS, GREEN
PEPPERS, AND THEN IT'S GOT THE SPICY CAJUN SAUSAGE AND SOME
RICE, AND IT'S JUST YUMMY.
GREAT FOR A CROWD.
OHH YES, AND THEN LAST BUT NOT LEAST IS MY GRANDMOTHERS RECIPE.
YOUR GRANDMOTHERS RECIPE?
IT'S CALLED CHEESE SANDWHICH SOUFFLE, WHICH IS SO FUNNY.
AND AGAIN A GREAT THING YOU COULD DO IN A BIG, YOU KNOW
LASAGNA PAN FOR A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE.
YOU MAKE CHEESE SANDWHICHES AND WE PUT IN YOUR PEPPER SALAMI.
WE DID.
NOW TELL US ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT.
I DID, WELL THE PEPPER IS ALSO IMPORTED AS WELL, AND IT JUST
GIVES IT A NICE SORT OF KICK TO IT AS WELL.
YES.
YOU KNOW ITS GOT THAT PEPPERY SPICE, THAT KIND OF HITS YOUR
TOUNGE.
YES.
AND THEN.
IT JUST KIND OF FADES A LITTLE BIT.
THAT'S GOOD.
IT'S WONDERFUL, AND WE PAIRED IT UP WITH SOME OF YOUR PROVOLOGNE,
BECAUSE COLUMBUS MAKES CHEESES AS WELL.
WE DO, WE HAVE A WHOLE LINE OF CHEESES AS WELL.
AND SO YOU MAKE THE SANDWHICH, YOU PUT THE BATTER OVER IT, AND
THEN YOU JUST BAKE IT.
I GOT TO TELL YOU WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE SALAMI, AND I TRIED A
COUPLE PIECES TOO BECAUSE I LOVE TO EAT AND YOU KNOW THAT.
YES I DO.
IT'S JUST AGAIN, GRAB AND GO, YOU JUST CUT IT.
JUST CUT IT.
YOU EAT IT, IT'S FILLING, YOU GET YOUR PROTEIN, IT'S GREAT!
THAT'S RIGHT.
IT'S REALLY EASY TO USE IT FOR ENTERTAINING, YOU CAN EITHER USE
IT TO JUST STRAIGHT LIKE THIS, OR USE IT IN A WONDERFUL RECIPE
AS WELL.
AND NOT TO MENTION IT'S PRETTY.
YEAH, YEAH.
IT IS, IT'S GORGEOUS.
