We enjoy Smoked Jalapeno Poppers or ABT's ( Atomic Buffalo Turds ) as they are referred to in the BBQ world. We have been doing them at the Farmer's Market and folks have been asking us how we make them. So, we thought we would show you how we do them... Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our…
Smoked Creamed Spinach Stuffed Tomatoes, I wanted to do some smoked/grilled tomatoes with dinner and I asked Patti what she thought. This is what she came up with. Man, I do love the way she thinks, these were really good, with her homemade creamed spinach picking up the mesquite wood smoke flavor and the warm soft tomatoes… oh my. Lots of different textures and flavors…
Not Your Momma’s Biscuits & Gravy, It’s cold and wet outside this week, so we are doing what I call comfort food. Biscuits and gravy or SOS. This is nothing like your momma’s. Ours is loaded with garlic, sweet onions and red pepper. Then served over hot buttered biscuits, piled high with French fries… topped with a healthy dose of Tabasco sauce.
Brisket Machaca con Huevos, my mom made this for me as a kid. It has always been one of my favorites and have always loved “Big Beefy Burritos” because of her machaca. We used a few pounds of our smoked Tex-Mex brisket that we shredded and added onions, tomatoes, peppers, and eggs. Mom would have loved this one… Big, Tender and Juicy. Note: Machaca…
Easy Smoked Potatoes Au Gratin because a friend of Patti’s wanted a recipe for scalloped potatoes with cheese. That’s what au Gratin potatoes are. She also wanted a recipe she could make a day ahead without the potatoes turning black. So, we cooked the potatoes first and layered them the next day into our creamy cheesy sauce. Then, we topped them with more cheese and…
Sweet Mamas Savory Cornbread Dressing with a "Kiss of Smoke". Living in the South now I asked why it’s called dressing instead of stuffing. I was told several times “because Mama said so”. Good enough reason for us. Patti made her own style of cornbread adding chopped pieces of Raider Red Jalapeno bacon and a can of creamed corn. Which explains why her cornbread…
Smoked Turkey Legs, we got a request from some friends who were having a big holiday dinner for their large family. As a special treat for the bigger kids they wanted lots of turkey legs because they were their favorite and wanted them all to have their own. If you have had them at the fair or Disneyland you know what a treat these are.…
Easy Chili Nachos, Ken loves all types of nachos and after a really busy day Patti wanted easy and not having to do a trip to the market. Happily everything we needed was in the pantry. With the help of our 10” Lodge Cast Iron Griddle and our Pacific Living Outdoor Oven we had a hearty, fun and delicious dinner. We especially love our…
Buffalo Onions, there is no one way to do them and they are super easy to do. They can be a different grilling adventure every time you make them! Our Buffalo Sauce recipe is better than most, on the mild side but packed with flavor. Easy to zip it up but as is it was a bit zippy for Patti. The only thing that…
Smoky Garlic Onion Pork Chops are so tender and juicy. Who says that camp cooking is boring? We have always loved creating AWESOME and hearty tailgating and camp meals that will be remembered for years. This is another one of those. Smoky Garlic Onion Pork Chops are easy on our Green Mountain Grills Davey Crockett Tailgater and adds that “Kiss of Smoke”. With hunting…
Smoked Garlic Sauce, a smoky garlic sauce that you can ad to anything you're cooking or use as a "Grilling Sauce". If you love garlic like we do you have to try this... Patti and I both love garlic (good thing) and our Smoked Garlic Sauce is pure garlic heaven! But, I have been thinking on how I can make our Garlic Lovers Grilling…
Diablo Bacon Bombs are a twist on our Chipotle Bacon Bombs. These are a “Fiery” meaty snack hot off the grill. How about Diablo Bacon Bombs on a stick? Great for tailgating and walking around munchies. We have to always make a lot because they go fast… We’ve done these before and tonight we are just mixing up the seasoning and sauce. The beauty…
