  • Seems so simple that even me I’m dare to prepare it, hahah! Thank you so much for sharing 🙂

  • What are the green looking things in the rub?
    When looking at the ingredients the only thing that could be close is celery seed but they are not green?

    • Hi Eddie…I had to take a closer look because I don’t see anything too bright of a green but you must be seeing the celery seed. Sometimes I use ground celery seed and after looking at my own spice pack it is greener ground than the whole seed. Hope that explains it. Thanks for visiting and let me know how you like the rub 🙂
