Meat Lover’s Quiche Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood burning stove, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little…

Prairie Fire I have worked on this recipe for over 25 years, and have fine tuned it to a religious experience. They are great for tailgating and Super Bowl parties. I have experienced much debate from my friends as how to serve this. Weather I should serve it either as a dip with chips, or to roll it up in tortillas, or just spoon it…
Chipotle Nachos Patti and I have been working on a few treats to serve at a Super Bowl party. Sounded like some fun with plenty of good beer involved so we jumped right on it. Thinking something smoked off the grill would be a good start for anything we came up with like Chipotle Nachos made with a smoked beef roast. Patti says I put…

Beef Tenderloin Burritos I got this idea from Larry Gaian, a well-known barbeque expert. You can see more from Larry at: http://www.embersandflame.com/ . He made tacos from one of these tenderloins. His were made with his favorite spices, as were mine, he folded, but I rolled my tortilla. It’s all good. Being they’re burritos but made with the tenderloin, Patti calls them “simply fancy”. And these…
BBQ Chicken This week we are doing a “Test Cook” for the Murrieta Farmer’s Markets. We wanted to do ribs and chicken on the same smoker at the same time. So, we are working out the cooking times for each. What I came up with was smoke it for 30 minutes at 225 degrees (108c), then turn the heat up to 350 degrees (177c) for an hour.…
Chipotle Bacon Bombs on a Stick Patti and I are still working on a few treats to serve “Off The Grill” for tailgating parties. These are a big hit at the Super Bowl parties also. With us, it has to be something smoked off the grill. A great start for anything we come up with. How about Chipotle Bacon Bombs on a Stick? We let…
Super Tailgater Burger Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside. This time for all our tailgating friends we used our Green Mountain Davy Crocket Tailgater Grill. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with…
Nutty Buddy Bacon Cheeseburger This burger was an easy choice, Ken had to try it. I first saw it on Chef Barry’s Sizzle on the grill. http://www.sizzleonthegrill.com/blog/2010/10/19/grilled-burgers-with-a-pinch-of-sizzle/ We love peanut butter and thought about this for a second or so and we were in. Ken used the creamy, Patti loved the crunchy. Burgers are all American and there are so many ways to fix them.…
Blackened Tuna Burger We love tuna, never can get enough of it. We like it every way it comes. This is the very best tuna we have ever had. A few weeks ago we called Andy and told him we were craving some of his good salmon. He told us about his fresh salmon and Ahi tuna and that he had the fix for our…
