These Slop-Inspired Gourmet Treats Will Elevate Your ‘Big Brother’ Premiere Party

If you’ve assumed the role of HOH and are planning to host a Big Brother premiere party, you may be dead set on serving homemade slop to an ex, that friend of a friend you don’t like, or any other Have-Nots who hope to attend. While this certainly sounds like a clever and hilarious way to punish housemates your guests, we’ve devised two upgraded and gourmet slop recipes to make for those you actually like.

#butfirst, the recipe for Official Big Brother Slop: a surprisingly healthy and protein-packed blend of oats, whey, and vitamin powder. When you’re not using it as a torture device, it may just be your new favorite post-workout snack. It’s also the inspiration behind all the deliciousness below, so pay close attention to our step-by-step cooking instructions or you may be evicted from your own kitchen.

Lemon Chive Slop Waffles

We’re shocked that these have any trace of slop in them. The lemon zest provides an extra ZING! of flavor that is balanced by spicy chives and a decadent crème fraîche. Top the waffles with smoked salmon, avocado, and your choice of caviar to remind guests that you are quite possibly the best at throwing television viewing parties (or fancy ones, at least). Get the recipe.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Slop Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

The only thing that can make a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie taste even better is ice cream and more chocolate chips. Slop, unsurprisingly, serves an as excellent base to oatmeal cookies. Once you’ve got those bad boys baked, simply place a scoop of your favorite ice cream between two cookies, roll them in the chips, and nosh with caution. Slice a sandwich in half and share it if you really want to embody the true meaning of #friendship. Get the recipe.

What Is the Difference Between Barbecuing and Grilling?

4th of July is right around the corner — will you be grilling or barbecuing? Funny enough, most people don’t know the difference between these two outdoor (sometimes indoor) cooking methods. But believe it or not, they are quite different.

When you think of grilling, think of that quick and easy summer meal that satisfies your hungry crowd of guests in less than an hour — like throwing some chicken legs on the grill to sear up fast, with high and direct heat. If you’re not a chicken person, some other meats compatible with grilling are steaks, pork chops, hamburgers/hot dogs, or seafood. If you don’t eat meat at all, vegetables are great for grilling, too!

Grilling might be easy, but the fast cooking process means your food can be easily burned, so it’s important to keep an eye on the grill.

Barbecuing, on the other hand, means you’re cooking your food low and slow. Rather than using direct heat— like with grilling — the smoke produced from the burning of wood or coal fuels the BBQ cooking process. This is a typical style for cuts of meat like ribs and brisket. It can take up to a few hours, but patience is rewarded with tender, juicy, melt-in-your-mouth meat that can only be accomplished with this method. Just be sure to keep your guests happy with some snacks while they’re anxiously waiting.

While (almost) anyone can grill up a burger, barbecuing is more commonly reserved for the more experienced cooks and patient members of family gatherings — “usually, Uncle Larry,” says cookbook author Matt Lee.

If you’re the “Uncle Larry” of your family or just want to put your expert cooking skills to the test, here are some of our favorite barbecue recipes:

BBQ Baby Back Pork Ribs

Chowhound

These down-home flavor ribs require an oven-to-grill method, but with their rich glaze and flavorful spice rub, the two-method cooking process will be well worth it in the end. You can prepare the ribs up to two days in advance to save some time on the day you’re serving them. Get our Easy BBQ Baby Back Pork Ribs recipe.

BBQ Turkey

Chowhound

It doesn’t need to be Thanksgiving to roll out the big ol’ BBQ turkey — it’ll be a hit whatever time of year. For this recipe, you’ll need a charcoal grill to cook your turkey slowly for tender, juicy meat. You’ll never want to cook turkey in the oven again. Get our BBQ Turkey recipe.

If you’re not the “Uncle Larry” of the group, here are some recipes for grilling, instead:

Grilled Chile Salmon with Lime Crema

Chowhound

Spoil your guests with some fresh salmon, paired with a tasty and refreshing cream, citrus, and herb-based sauce. This dish takes less than ten minutes to make and you end up with deliciously moist salmon with a nice crispy skin. Get our Grilled Chile Salmon with Lime Crema recipe.

Grilled Chicken Breasts with Balsamic Rosemary Marinade

Chowhound

Chicken is a popular go-to grilling food and always a crowd pleaser. This grilled chicken with a balsamic rosemary marinade is sure to be just as delicious as it is easy to make. To ensure the chicken absorbs the marinade completely, you may want to let your chicken sit for a few hours or overnight before throwing them on the grill (the easy part). Get our Grilled Chicken Breasts with Balsamic Rosemary Marinade recipe.

Grilled Eggplant Parmesan Salad

Chowhound

Who says grilling is just for meat? You can also add some smoky flavor and texture to your vegetables. This recipe involves quickly grilling some bread, tomatoes, and eggplant before combining them together for a tasty salad. Get our Grilled Eggplant Parmesan Salad recipe.

10 Punny Pieces of Food Art to Hang in Your Kitchen

Etsy

If you’re hoping to distract from questionable cooking abilities by jazzing up a boring kitchen wall, look no further than a clever food print that pokes fun at some of your favorite ingredients. It’s the perfect diversion from burnt edges, a lack of seasoning, or stovetop fires. In fact, it may actually inspire you to cook better. Because what’s funnier than messing up dinner? That punny poster, obviously. And that’s all you and your houseguests will remember if your food isn’t doing the talking.

We’ve rounded up 10 of the most clever pieces of wall art we could find. Scroll down and check them out!

Etsy

If you’re a child of the ’90s who watched Doug religiously, you absolutely need this in your life. It’s funny on so many levels, but just be sure to hang it level on the wall. Otherwise, it may actually drop. And that wouldn’t be Funny (ba dum bump). Buy it here.

Amazon

Brussels sprouts are probably the trendiest vegetables at the moment and “Every day I’m Hustlin'” is a song that never goes out of style. Combine the best of both worlds with this Amazon gem. Buy it here.

Etsy

This can be misleading if you’re chopping a steak, though. You don’t want it to be too hot or the juices will bleed out and your meat will be less tender. The more you know. Buy it here.

Etsy

The irony about this poster is that nothing is more eggceptional than eggs themselves. We’ll take ours scrambled with hot sauce, please and thank you. Buy it here.

Etsy

What does the embroidery for pretzel rods say? “Don’t (p)rod me?” Buy it here.

Etsy

Aside from quality, wholesome foods, we think this also implies shopping at the grocery store Whole Foods. Except this wall art may need an update to “Amazon Foods” in the very near future. Buy it here.

Amazon

We’re not entirely sure what a knife day looks like, but if it’s as adorable as this butter variation, sign us up. Buy it here.

Etsy

Yes, let’s. And let’s taco bout whether or not you’re bringing the guacamole, sour cream, hot sauce, and cheese. Buy it here.

Etsy

The perfect complement to your “Are you ready for this jelly?” poster. Buy it here.

Etsy

You don’t even have to answer the question. You simply have to look at it and smile as you’re chopping vegetables for your homemade sushi. Buy it here.

Pressure Cooker Chipotle Chicken and Rice Bowls

My husband is a big fan of chipotle – both the spicy, smoky peppers themselves and the restaurant chain. He declared this dish to be better than Chipotle’s fast-casual burrito bowls, so I’m calling it a win!

This is certainly more budget-friendly than ordering take-out for four people. It also cooks in about the same time that it would take us to drive over and pick up dinner!

The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile Takes Flight as a Drone

An Oscar Mayer drone? When pigs fly! Well, now they’re flying—quite literally—in the form of hot dogs with the meat and cold cut company’s latest vehicle: the WienerDrone.

In tandem with the also new and also hilarious WienerCycle, the dynamic duo will join forces with the iconic Wienermobile to visit Weiner, Arkansas for an assumedly grill-heavy 4th of July celebration. The pit stop is to highlight Oscar Meyer’s decision to remove all added nitrates, nitrites, and artificial preservatives from its line of hot dogs.

“As the most iconic brand, we’re going where other hot dogs can’t. We’re committed to getting our new hot dog in everyone’s hands – and we knew that was a job for more than just our iconic Wienermobile,” Gred Guidott, Oscar Mayer’s head of marketing, said in a release. “We’ve expanded our Oscar Mayer fleet, ensuring every American can taste the new recipe, because we believe everyone deserves a better hot dog.”

Oscar Mayer

The impressive dog can fly up to 1,500 feet at speeds of 50 miles per hour, joining a fleet of other tech-focused creations like the WienerMini (a Mini Cooper) and WienerRover (yes, like the ones you see on Mars). Frank-ly, we’d like to see a WienerBoat or WienerJet as part of their future promotion because if any business can do it, it’s Oscar Mayer. And why? Because they have a way with so much more than B-O-L-O-G-N-A.
