Reverse Seared Tomahawk Steak Santa Maria Style for Date Night!!! Raider Red Meats sent us a 3-pound Tomahawk Steak, their meats are prime and so tender and flavorful we wanted to make sure we did this one right! So, we seasoned it with our Santa Maria Rub, a uniquely sweet, smoky and spicy rub from Old California and a reverse sear! It was fork tender…
Garlic Lovers Smoked Rib Tips with Beans, I love these beans; everyone who has ever tried them has, too. They are even good cold. I have been working on this recipe for 30 years or so now. I added a lot more garlic than in the beginning, but we like garlic more now. When I make them I don’t use a recipe or measure…
Perfect Rib Eye Steak, I have heard some people say that you can’t grill a nice steak on a wood pellet grill. Wrong, they just don’t know how. It is easy to get a full smoked flavor and the grill your steak to rare or however you like it. Patti did these the other night in a video just to show you how easy…
Taco Tuesday Meatloaf because Tuesday’s meant tacos with friends and getting together for a potluck for good food and fellowship. Many of our friends were talking about how they missed those get togethers. So, we combined our favorite taco ingredients with a tasty, easy meatloaf to enjoy at home with a “Kiss of Smoke”. And cold meatloaf sandwiches the next day! You can serve…
Marinated Pork Fajitas, Ken brought home some marinated pork chops. These are thin sliced by Juan Carlos from El Toro our favorite Mexican market. These are awesome, with a 5 minute sear, then slicing them thin and wrapping them in tortillas. The beauty of Fajitas is that there is no right or wrong way to do them. Do them how your family likes them……
Chipotle Sauce, this is a simple little sauce with a lot of kick that we enjoy on almost anything. Not hot just a little spicy zip! Easy to make and goes fast so you might want to double the recipe. A delicious bit of Chipotle Heaven. Love it on burgers, tacos and meatloaf sandwiches plus makes a great grilling sauce on any grilled meat,…
Louisiana Bacon Cheese Dogs, we wanted to do something fun and different for a camping party. Something fun, easy and that included bacon, of course. The adults wanted hot links and the little ones wanted less spicy. So we did Louisiana hot links for the big kids with pepper jack cheese and Polish sausages and cheddar cheese for the little ones. We served them…
Kens Famous Baked Beans, I love these beans; and everyone who has ever tried them has, too. They are even good cold. I have been working on this recipe for 30 years or so now. I added a lot more garlic now than in the beginning, but we like garlic more now. When I make them I don’t use a recipe or measure anything, I…
Grilled Peaches Redux, big, beautiful peaches are in season again and Patti brought home some nice one for us to grill. Grilled Peaches are a simple dessert that folks just love. Every time Patti makes these for someone the first time she gets a less than an ENTHUSIASTIC RESPONSE. But in the end, they always fuss over how good they were and always request…
Apple Cheddar Hasselback Pork Loin, we were going camping and found out friends were going, too. So, we wanted to make a dinner that was a little special and a whole lot easy with just a few ingredients. We had planned to throw some pork chops on our Green Mountain Tailgater, but this was a little more fancy, fun and appreciated. Being that apples…
Lamb Shanks, I have to say that Patti out did herself with this one. All I did was put the things she gave on the grill. She seared the lamb in a cast iron Dutch oven and then made a sauce to cook them in. Followed with creamy blue cheese garlic mashed potatoes that was incredible. Topped off with Patti’s zesty bacon sausage stuffed…
Tailgating Babybacks, it’s time to be thinking about doing some camping and tailgating. We picked up some some very nice ribs and all the prep was done already. All we had to do was rub them down with our seasoning and put them on our Green Mountain Davy Crockett pellet grill for some smoke. Notice the perfect smoke ring, these ribs were tender, juicy and…
