Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie, not everything good comes off the grill!!! We were wanting something special for our Thanksgiving dessert and this is what we thought up. This simple no bake pie will satisfy your peanut butter and chocolate craving hugely! Peanut Butter and Chocolate and giving it more thought we came up with Peanut Butter and Chocolate. So, we decided we would run…
Ham Tangerine Honey Glaze, we have lots of fruit trees and Ken especially loves the tangerines. So, Patti juiced about 4 cups worth for our ham. To make it extra special and festive we served it with fresh steamed green beans tossed with a tablespoon of white truffle oil and some grated Parmesan cheese. Plus, long grain and wild rice with a few handfuls of…
Honey Rubbed Smoked Turkey because we love the flavor of turkey with a gentle “Kiss of Smoke”. Turkeys being on sale we got a few of them to smoke just for sandwiches and casseroles. Think about “Honey Rubbed Smoked Turkey sandwiches”, so good… I did a double smoke by cold smoking it first for 2 hours with Smoke Daddy’s “Cold Smoke Generator” then bring…
Simple Spatchcocked Smoked Turkey with a nice “Kiss of Smoke” was the perfect dinner for a hot day. Let me explain: It’s been triple digit hot here so slow smoking a turkey was a delicious idea for cold sandwiches and future casseroles. We used three simple ingredients and Green Mountain Apple pellets for full flavored, no fuss, no heating up the kitchen turkey! Patti…
Lotta Cheese Cheese Burger, we got a complaint from some friends that when they go out for burgers the meat is paper thin and the cheese, if you can find any, is tasteless. We had no choice but to say “See you tomorrow, come hungry!” Everyone was happily stuffed and knew they were eating a cheese burger. They may be back again tomorrow. Not only…
Lemon Pepper Trout went fishing and came home with some nice trout. My first thought was to fire up the grill. Stuff them with lemon and dill then give them a “Kiss of Smoke” because they are a real treat. Grilled trout is so tender the meat just flakes apart and the bones just lift out in one piece. Patti and I have set…
Chicken Lasagna Florentine because Patti loves Italian food but can never find lasagna with a white sauce when she goes out to eat. Plus, with Thanksgiving so close we have lots and lots of turkey recipes, but not many for leftovers. This recipe was a keeper because she used lots of cheese and the spinach made it healthy. It was extra easy because you…
Slow Smoked Carnitas, we love anything you can wrap in a tortilla and when Juan Carlos showed us some awesome pork for .99 a pound. A dream is born… Slow Smoked Carnitas with a citrus kiss. We bought 20 pounds of Juan’s pork and used about 5 in our Slow Smoked Carnitas that we smoked for about 5 hours. It was all I could…
Bacon Wrapped Turkey Breast is a real treat. It's a lot easier to work with than a whole turkey. When done right I think that brining is the key to doing it well. You can infuse various flavor profiles in any direction when you are feeling adventurous. We were thinking maple bacon and then thought apple. HEY, these blend deliciously together. I’ll tell you…
Grilled Trout Amandine! I went fishing last week and came home with some nice fish. My first thought was to fire up the grill. Stuff them with lemon and herbs then give them a “Kiss of Smoke” because they are a real treat. Grilled trout are so tender the meat just flakes apart and the bones just lift out in one piece. Patti and…
Garlic Lovers Burger are great for folks that love garlic, They are and big, tasty burgers. We chopped some of our smoked garlic and added to the meat along with our Date Night Doins Steak Seasoning and topped with Ken’s awesome Smoked Garlic Sauce and Garlic cheese. Then a splash of Ken's Garlic Mayo. We were going to call it the garlic, garlic, garlic,…
Garlic Bombs Smoked Deviled Eggs, we love deviled eggs; they make a great cold appetizer on a hot day. Instead of dumping the eggs in water and boiling, we took advantage of our Louisiana Grill/Smoker. Why not? Ken smoked some jumbo eggs. Then, Patti deviled them with lots of dried garlic, mayo, and mustard and, of course, Louisiana Grills Chicken Seasoning. It was the perfect…
