Spinach Gorgonzola Stuffed Chicken Breasts, Ken said when I came up with this recipe I was having one of my gourmet moments. LOL. It is really simple to make and beautiful to serve with a fresh and easy mushroom sauce with just a kiss of pecan smoke. We have new neighbors,and they were happy to be our “crash test dummies”. Low in carbs…
Sirloin Alfredo Elegant and Easy, this is a “Love the Second Time Around” recipe where we take our leftovers and make another awesome dinner … My favorite cut of steak is sirloin. Patti loves all you can do with the leftovers. So, we always get a huge one. Last Friday night we made the Ultimate Philly Cheese Steak and had just enough leftovers for…
Blackened Prime Rib Steak, lot’s going on this week with Valentine’s Day, Rat’s birthday and, of course, Date Night. We wanted something extra, extra special. So, we went down to see Juan Carlos our butcher at El Toro market. He always has something delicious to show us. He cut 4 of these 2 inch steaks out of a prime rib for us. That is cool,…
Smoked Shrimp and Bacon Wrapped Scallops with Crabby Mac, a "Blast from the Past". This is our original post form 2014, you can see how we have grown over the years… (I was able to clean up the photos, but they are still a bit lacking.) This Valentine’s Day Patti wanted to do something special. All the stores had sea food on sale so…
Cowboy Surf & Turf is a big steak stuffed with Patti’s seafood stuffing. We used our Green Mountain “Davy Crockett” to show use just how easy it is to go big on a little pellet grill made for tailgating. A great little grill that you can set up anywhere!!! Cowboy Surf & Turf is our first new recipe since moving to Oklahoma. We truly…
Valentine Breakfast Biscuit, on Valentine’s Day I always try to do something special for Patti. This year I thought I would start with breakfast. I made this last week to try it out for our Valentine’s Day. It was a hit! So, I thought I would post it in case anyone else wanted to try it… Patti and I have set one night a week…
Carne Guisada, since we’ve been selling BBQ’d tri-tip roasts at the Murrieta Farmer’s Market, it’s become one of our favorite cuts of beef. Super lean and full of flavor, plus it’s so versatile. Tonight we cubed up a three pounder, tossed it with seasoned flour and some of our favorite Mexican spices. Then, off to the Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill for some smoky flavor…
Armadillo Eggs are a stuffed jalapeno, wrapped in a ¼ pound of spicy sausage. Not for the faint of heart, but just a little zippy! I love these things, but they are not for everybody. Patti makes them for me, and she can’t eat them. This is a great Tailgating and party recipe. We have served these up at 2 Tailgating parties and have run…
Zippy Beef Jerky, we have always liked jerky and have wanted to make our own for years. This jerky is packed with flavor. A bit zippy with lots of black and red pepper mixed with Green Mountain’s “South of the Border rub”. Then, I pulled it off the smoker while still a little tender as jerky goes. I didn’t want to break any teeth.…
Just Peachy Poppers came about because Patti’s pal Harriett brought over some smoky spicy peach salsa on the same day we were talking about a new and different popper. They are such a hit for tailgating parties and appetizers. Stuffed jalapenos are fun to make with so many versatile choices for stuffing. And, of course, wrapping them with bacon makes them just peachy! Patti…
Buffalo Wings & Links We had a friend coming for dinner and he made the mistake of saying that he could eat a mountain of wings. So, we thought we’d give him a chance by doing a mountain of Buffalo wings & links. We did 4 different kinds of wings and sauces and threw in some zippy hot links. If I say so myself we…
Our “Smoky Stuffed Chicken Alfredo” has a subtle nutty flavor of almond smoke. This is one of those that is just fun to do, not mention good for dinner. The weather here is perfect for cold smoking, so that is just what we did. We used “Smoke Daddy’s” cold smoke generator and smoked the chicken and sliced almonds in almond smoke. We stuffed our chicken…
