The Farmer's Market is Open for the Season

The West Windsor Farmer's Market is open on Saturdays throughout the Summer and early Fall from 9 am to 1 pm - rain or shine! Come out and try our newest FunniBonz flavors (and don't worry, we still have your classic favorites as well).

You will even see some new vendors this year including our friend Catherine Perry from Catherine's Vegan Sweets who serves delicious treats that you would never guess are completely vegan and Hopewell's Nomad Pizza which will serve their tasty fare from a wood fired brick oven right on their truck.

Come out and enjoy fresh Jersey produce, hear local music and see local entertainment and even get a massage from Synchronicity Bodywork Holistic Massage Therapy. You will absolutely love this year's Farmer's Market.

See you on Saturday!

FunniBonz Charity Weekend

The weather is supposed to be great this weekend. Why not get out, share some sunshine with FunniBonz, and help out a charity all at the same time.  This Sunday, FunniBonz will be participating in two charity events. 

The first is Wilson’s 10-33 Benefit Ride and Picnic which will take place on Sunday, May 2, 2010 in Hillsborough Township, NJ.  The event will include an escorted motorcycle run ending with a day of fun, picnic style. The $21 registration fee for this event will cover the cost of the ride, food (with lots of FunniBonz BBQ sauce), beverages and entertainment throughout the day.  You can pay in advance right online with your PayPal account.

All of the money raised at this event will benefit the Wilson’s 10-33 Foundation Inc. (10-33 is the universal code in the Emergency Service for “Officer Needs Assistance”) The Foundation was created in 2009 to raise funds to aid Officer David Wilson, who was diagnosed in 2008 with Leukemia, with the financial burden caused by mounting medical expenses. Sadly, Officer Wilson succumbed to his illness in September of 2009. His wish was for the Wilson’s 10-33 Foundation was to continue to assist others in the Hillsborough Emergency Services community.

Here is the schedule of events:

• 9:00 am: Arrival and Registration of Bikes
• 11:15 am: Opening Ceremonies and Welcome
• Noon: Bikes leave for ride
• 1:00 pm: Food – Live Music – Vendors – Prizes

Our second event will be held to support the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk.  It will also take place on Sunday, May 2 at St. Michael's Mutual Club at 406 Memorial Ave in Gibbstown, NJ.  

Event host Melanie Ault will be walking 60 miles in honor of her grandmother who won her battle with breast cancer.

This shopping event will run from 12 pm to 4 pm and will also include an auction for some wonderful items.  Please come out and show Melanie (and FunniBonz) some support! 

It's Another Party at Ripken Stadium!

This weekend, April 24 and 25, come hang out with FunniBonz and a slew of other vendors at the Harford Live! Home and Garden Show in Aberdeen, MD.  It's a family-friendly event so pack up the kids and toss the spouse into the passenger seat!  Come out and enjoy things such as The Man Cave (where he can watch the big game on TV or shoot a game of pool), The Women's Style & Shopping Boutique (where she can get a mani/pedi while he's watching the game), the VIP Sky Lounge, and the Tycoon Typhoon Money Machine (where you can make all the money back you spent at the boutique or lost playing pool!).  Spend the day learning about cost-effective, eco-friendly ways to revamp, remodel and repair everything for your home and family.

Be sure to visit the FunniBonz booths.  Stop by our outside barbeque pit where we will be grilling up smoked turkey legs, basting tender pork riblets, making fresh pulled pork sandwiches and serving our famous FunniBonz Five Bean Medley.  Bring along a copy of this flyer and we'll give you a discount on your meal.

Inside, we will be selling jars of sauce including our two newest flavors: Sweet and Tangy Mustard and Fiery Chipotle.  Both are certified Kosher and gluten free!

FunniBonz Barbequed Shrimp with Chipotle Bleu Cheese Grits

This weekend at the DC Metroplitan Food, Libations and Luxury Home Show, Jim Barbour from FunniBonz teamed up with Glenn Coleman of Glenn's Gourmet Goodies to demonstrate the versatility of their products.

One of the dishes that they made was Shrimp and Grits, making use of several of their products.  Here is a quick and easy meal based on their recipes.

Stuff you'll need:
1 lb Shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 box Quick Grits
1 package Bleu Cheese crumbles
SLAP Seasoning
Butter
Light Cooking Oil
Salt
1 jar FunniBonz Original
1 bottle Chipotle White BBQ Sauce

Make grits as usual (about 6 servings). 

Add about 1/4 cup crumbled bleu cheese and about 1/4 cup of Chipotle White BBQ Sauce and about 2 tablespoons of butter and salt to taste.  Turn heat to lowest setting and put lid on pot.  Be sure to stir occasionally.

Season shrimp with SLAP (Season Like A Pro) seasoning. 

Add a tablespoon of oil to a separate saucepan.  Once pan is hot, add shrimp and cook until opaque, about a minute or two on each side. 

Once shrimp are cooked through, add a couple tablespoons of FunniBonz Barbeque sauce.

Don't add too much sauce as you don't want the shrimp soggy, just gently coated in the sauce.

Once the sauce is warmed through, it's time to plate up your dish.  Place some warm grits on a plate and top with the barbequed shrimp.  Enjoy with a cold beer and the sides of your choice.

Remember that all ingredients can be adjusted to your own tastes.  If you like it more spicy, add more Chipotle BBQ Sauce and some black pepper.  You can also use goat cheese or cream cheese in place of the bleu cheese for more or a less of a tangy flavor.  Feel free to make it your own.  Enjoy!
