Southwestern Smoked Ham and Taters was made extra special because we smoked the ham and we smoked the cheeses. Because we were having friends over after Church Patti assembled it the night before and the next morning let it come to room temperature before she put it on the grill. Ken’s favorite part were the crunchy cheese crackers on top. You can also make this…

Thinking that sounds like the making of a good pizza we fired up our Uuni Pizza oven. We love the rich creamy flavor that Ragu Roasted Garlic…
Smoked Sausage Stuffing, it is recommended that you don’t stuff your turkey as Mom did when we were growing up. Because the stuffing does not get hot enough to kill any food-borne bacteria and slows down the cooking of the turkey. Plus, it’s harder to get out of the bird when you raid the refrigerator for leftovers. We did our stuffing in a cast iron…
Holiday Stuffin’ Muffins were requested for our Christmas potluck, so Patti decided to make them for Thanksgiving potluck just to practice. This was a simple, easy recipe, but you are only limited by your imagination. You can add cooked sausage, different veggies and seasonings. Patti likes to add dried cranberries for a more festive color. They can easily be made ahead of time, but…

Smoked Chicken Pizza was hands down this may be the best pizza I have ever had. Can you describe a pizza as “Creamy”? We used Ragu Roasted Garlic Parmesan sauce for our sauce. Then piled it with shredded Smoked Gouda Cheese like someone else was paying for it! Topped it with cubes of smoked chicken breast and a little sliced green onion. Every bite…
Smoked Beef Shanks have big, beefy flavor and are melting in your mouth tender. We braised these in Chianti wine, beef broth and, of course, garlic and onion.

https://youtu.be/rGNuNN4yp20 Video Easy Smoked Piglet Video Easy Smoked Piglet, we did a 35-pound piglet on the Green Mountain Grill this week. I have to say I was surprised at just how easy it was to do. In fact, the hardest part of the whole process was getting the pig here in Southern California. Like trying to find Tri-Tip in South Carolina, you can do it,…
