Then, we topped them with more cheese and…

Pecan Scotch Pie

Pecan Scotch Pie was born because pecan pie is Ken’s favorite. We already have a wonderful recipe for pecan pie with chocolate, so we wanted something different. Patti had an ‘aha” moment and remembered we had butterscotch chips from a recipe we apparently forgot all about. This pie turned out crunchy and creamy with an extra whisper of pecan smoke because we used Mountain Maple pellets in a wedgie for that “Kiss of Smoke”.

Sweet Mamas Savory Cornbread Dressing

  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…

Easy Stuffed Leg of Lamb

Easy Stuffed Leg of Lamb was easy because the lamb was boneless. Patti made stuffing starting with “Stove Top”. Plus, she added some herbs and veggies and used chicken stock instead of water. You can use whatever type of stuffing cubes you like. They’re all good. We got the lamb from Texas Steak Warehouse so we knew it would be tender and juicy! Patti and…
