Curried Chicken Breasts, Ken loves curry, any kind of curry. Patti always stocks up on different cuts of chicken when it’s on sale. Voila, a match made delicious. Patti served it with brown rice made with coconut milk instead of broth or water with a "Kiss of Smoke". Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night.…
Creamed Garlic Soup with Toasted Cheese Topping, we love garlic, just about every way it comes. I had been thinking of doing a smoked garlic soup for a few weeks now. Rich, creamy and a garlicky sweet treat. So, I thought I would make some for our special Christmas Eve dinner. This may have been a little rough on our dogs. Not having…
Uncle Bubba's Brandy Bacon Jam. I can’t say it enough “Everything is Better with Bacon”! Our jam is a pound of bacon ends and pieces, slow cooked with onions, smoked garlic, and brandy in to a sweet and spicy burger topping. (Have you ever heard me say I LOVE BIG BURGERS!) Rich and savory, a great appetizer, topping on cheese and crackers,…
Pile O’ Ribs on the Tailgater, we both love ribs and tailgating! The problem is that rack of ribs take up a lot of space and tailgating grills tend to be on the small and portable side. I can triple the ribs on our little grill with a good rack. And that gave a lot of folks a big smile, they were tender and…
Fire and Ice Cajun Chicken Sticks. Tonight’s Date Night dinner is something my mother loved. We grilled up some Fire & Ice Cajun Chicken Sticks, with a Fire & Ice dipping sauce, Wings o’ Fire with a good blue cheese dipping sauce and a batch of Teriyaki Shrimp Skewers. Fire and Ice Cajun Chicken Sticks, my mother loved to get the whole family together…
Prairie Fire Redux, I have worked on this recipe for over 35 years, (hard to believe that I’m that old) and have fine tuned it to a religious experience. These are great for tailgating and Super Bowl parties and just great eats. These are creamy, tender beans with a thick, rich smoked cheddar cheese sauce and a bit of zip to them. I have…
Tenderloin Steaks for Date Night, so tender we could cut them with a spoon. Prime Meats are the perfect way to relax for a fine meal after a long week. Their tenderloin steaks came in a two pack of 8 ozs. each. We complimented them with some Butcher BBQ Private Seasoning and after a few minutes on our grill we had a “prime” dinner.…
Tropical Ginger Ham was as close as we’ll get to a tropical getaway for Christmas. The weather outside might be frightful, but the ginger twist to our ham is so delightful. And a “Kiss of Fruitwood Smoke”. This recipe can easily be done in the oven or any grill/smoker where you can control the heat! We’re looking forward to playing with our food with…
Armadillo Eggs, Wake Up your Taste Buds” with a stuffed jalapeno, wrapped in a ¼ pound of spicy sausage. We have made 3 different recipes until we came up with one that is just plain “Over The Top”. These are not for the faint of heart, just a bit Zippy! We have been eating the “Crash and Burn” recipe eggs ALL WEEK. Nice work if…
Chipotle Orange Ribs, I have been experimenting with my Chipotle Orange BBQ sauce and now it’s very, very good. Good ribs really are easy to do and will make your friends think you are “The Grill Master”. We have had friends over a few times and served this on chicken and ribs that were finger licking wonderful. The sauce is so simple with only 4…
Grill Master Cheddar Cheese Bacon Burger, Out shopping last week we saw these Johnsonville Grillers. These were Cheddar cheese and bacon mixed with a sausage patty. We haven’t seen these before and never had anything from Johnsonville that we didn’t like so we through a few packages in the cart and here’s the story… Perfect. There aren’t a lot of ingredients because folks like…
Apple Chipotle Glazed Ham Apple Chipotle Glazed Ham, just three ingredients. But, oh what great ingredients! We cut an 11lb. Zaycon Fresh ham in half. Then we made a glaze with just apple jelly and Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce in Apple Chipotle providing all the seasoning we needed for a delicious main course. Patti and I have set one night a week just for…
