It came out golden brown and ooey gooey with Cowboy…

Smokie Cheddar Poppers were a fun and easy recipe to make when we’re camping and we always bring our Green Mountain Grill Davy Crockett. We, of, course, have to have a grill with us and this little grill is a powerhouse for tailgating. Patti loves that the legs become the handle so either of us can carry it. We use little smokies sausages because…
Shrimp au Gratin for our date night this week we wanted something light, but especially delicious. We’ve also gotten requests for Lenten recipes. This recipe would also work really well with lobster, bay scallops (the smaller ones) or your favorite combination. We served this over “Patti’s Fabulous Fettuccine”. Then, we mixed the leftovers together for a special lunch the next day served with mimosa’s made…
Chocolate Chipotle Bacon Candy! This stuff is CRAZY GOOD and will be ILLEGAL when the food police hear about it! We’ve put a spicy twist to it to make it even more addictive.

Grilled Sausage Biscuit Bake, you know we love big meat and potato dinners. But, sometimes breakfast just sounds like a great idea for dinner. Plus, we got beautiful crimini and shitake mushrooms, green onions and jalapenos from the Murrieta Farmer’s Market.
