Homemade Beer Brats! My love of sausage making has been on hold for 32 years. I was waiting for life to slow down a bit. Then it dawned on me just what am I waiting for? So, I got my meat grinder/stuffer out, dug up my old recipes and started making sausage. I made these Beer Brats for Patti. Sausage making is easier than you…
Petunia’s Enchiladas were to honor Petunia Pig coming for dinner and she was delicious. Two of Patti’s beautiful friends were coming over and we wanted to fix them something special. So, we cubed a lot of our smoked pig and our smoked cheese to make an easy dish you can make the day before. Patti and I have set one night a week just for…
Mediterranean Lamb Meatballs were made with the delicious Raider Red ground lamb and tangy Feta cheese. A little different and a lot tasty. Patti made it even better with a creamy Tzatziki sauce for dipping. Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Green Mountain Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes…
Teriyaki Rotisserie Chicken three ingredient easy and Ken was impressed because Patti found a chicken weighing almost 7lbs.

We served it with boxed fried rice and added slivered almonds with a “Kiss of Smoke”. Patti and I have set one night…

Italian Monkey Bread, serious sports fan friends of ours are making pasta for the big game. They’re calling it the “Spaghetti Bowl”. Sorry I couldn’t get the sauce recipe; they say it’s a family secret. They wanted something different than plain old garlic bread and Patti came up with this. This is easy to fix a day ahead and super easy with ready made…
Santa Maria Pork Loin on our rotisserie was juicy and tender and seasoned just right with our Santa Maria rub and a “Kiss of Smoke”. It was quick and easy too, as it was done in a little over an hour. Pork loin is one of the easiest cuts of meat to grill or BBQ. It’s very forgiving for beginners, and you can do…

We love fiery beef burritos, so we thought we would smoke up a pot of La carne del Diablo or The Devil’s Beef on the gasser.

Smoky VooDoo Sauce, a grate grilling sauce for everything! It’s a smoky garlic sauce combined with Cindy Lou’s VooDoo Rib rub. I like to mix a spoonful or so into our recipes or slater it over meat or chicken before it hits the grill. OFF THE HOOK!!! Our newest love, smoky sweet garlic with the smoky sweet heat from the VooDoo rub. The smoked…
Zesty Guacamole Redux, this is one of our 1st. recipes and 1 of my favorites bring back happy memories of years gone. Growing up in Fallbrook, California we had access to REAL avocados.
