Stuffed Pesto Pork Loin came about because a friend of Ken’s wanted something different for a “Game Day” party appetizer. Patti loves all things pesto, so she wanted to make pesto potato skins instead of the usual. Ken brought a pork loin out of our freezer and said “Here, pesto this, too. The pork loin was delicious, easy because you can put it together…
Country Ribs, Juan Carlos our butcher at El Toro market is always showing us something special at a great price. Knowing we were coming in he had cut these for us to look at.

Tonight we are doing a Texas Tri Tip Reverse Seared. A reverse sear is when you smoke your meat first then finish it off with a hot quick sear. If you have never done this you are in for a treat!

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…

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…
