Smoked Spaghetti Squash Carbonara Style

It’s so versatile for any spaghetti recipe and has no carbs, so it’s healthy, easy and delicious.

Summer Fruit Galette

Summer Fruit Galette It’s time for wonderful, juicy, fresh summer fruit. We get the organic best at the Murrieta Farmer’s Market thanks to Jaime of Valley View Farms. The fresh peaches and nectarines were sweet, ripe and “run down your arm” juicy. Patti couldn’t decide between peach pie and nectarine tart, so she combined both fruits to make an easy galette. The peaches were extra…

Coffee Rubbed Chuck Roast

Coffee Rubbed Chuck Roast We have done a few big chuck roasts now, we think they are great. I am thinking about retiring my crock pot.

Hotlink Cornbread Skillet

In their honor we fixed a southwestern cornbread skillet starting with a simple cornbread mix, adding lots of spicy goodies and smoked/grilled it in a large Lodge cast iron skillet on our Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker. It was delicious and long gone…
