Guest Post: Son of a Blogger

With writing deadlines, a family vacation and business commitments, the next two weeks are schedule heavy!  After numerous pleas by my 8 yr. old son, I have decided to let him try his hand at blogging.  This is his "story"...

My name is Patrick and I am 8 yrs. old and the son of a food blogger. I like to cook like my dad because it is fun to put ingredients together and see how they taste. I also like to write.

At school I read a book by Emeril Lagasse,(www.emerils.com)  a famous chef, called "There's A Chef In My Kitchen". In his book I found a recipe for "Baby BAM", a seasoning rub for meat. It is good on pork and steaks because it keeps them juicy inside. It is also very flavorful. I want to share with you today how easy it is to make "Baby BAM".

I hope you have as much fun in your kitchen as I do in mine.

You will need:

3 Tablespoons paprika
2 Tablespoons salt
2 Tablespoons parsley
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon celery salt

Put all ingredients into a medium size bowl. Mix them together well and then put them into a used clean seasoning jar. Make sure the lid is tightly shut. That's it!
