Ribs N Beans = BBQ heaven! Ken loves his ribs covered in Briggs True Bacon Bourbon BBQ sauce, but Patti wanted something different and Briggs True Texas Mustard Sauce filled the bill deliciously. We had our friend Harriett over to break the tie for which was best…she picked both. With the ribs we put on a batch of Kens Famous Baked Beans Redux taking…
South of The Border Rib Tips with a Chipotle Orange BBQ Sauce, we have been wanting to some rib tips for some time now. Well, we had a few pounds of them and now was the time. “Gitty Up Go”. I was thinking of a south of the border theme. We have some of Green Mountain’s South of the Border Seasoning Blend; I love…
Uncle Bubba's Brandy Peppercorn Glazed Ham! Uncle Bubba is always doing something on his GMG and he loves to do special recipes for the holiday season. Uncle Bubba's Brandy Peppercorn Glazed Ham is another one of his delicious hams with a super simple and beautiful glaze. A Kiss of Brandy, smoked garlic with a hint of black pepper in a glaze made with honey. You’ll…
Cranberry Mustard Glazed Ham. We love cooking special dishes for the holidays. A time of sharing our many blessings with family and friends. We put together some great Holiday recipes with a "Kiss of Smoke" that are as easy as they are delicious. Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special…
Mouth Watering Italian Sausage & Vegetables In Marinara Sauce with Soft-Cooked Eggs. If it’s Friday or Saturday night, a scrumptious meal is a must. After all, there’s no better way to end the week or usher in a new week on a good note than with a sumptuous dinner. Need a new recipe to do that? If yes, congratulations on coming to the right…
Cranberry Stuffed Pork Chops are a holiday favorite at our house. Double thick bone in pork chops with an easy to make stuffing. We cut a pocket in the chops and stuff them with store bought stuffing cubes that Patti adds dried cranberries and Chef of the future Honey Garlic Bourbon seasoning. Done with a “Kiss of Smoke”. A great Christmas dinner will be…
Reverse Seared & Smoked for our date night big, thick pork chops stuffed with a "Kiss of Smoke" just right. Our favorite butcher, Jim, knows just how thick we like them and put in a pocket for us to handle all the savory stuffing. We served these beauties with Patti’s mac & cheese smoked in our new Lodge 2qt. cast iron Dutch oven, just…
Queso Pork Chop Breakfast was everything you could want for breakfast, but we did it for dinner!!! Texas toast, 2 eggs, bacon, a smoky grilled 2-inch pork chop all drizzled in Queso cheese. Served with fried potatoes and onions with more Queso cheese! These 2-inch chops were very tender and juicy! We even kissed them with a hint of coffee smoke. Great for any…
Sweet Jalapeno Glazed Country Strips came to be when friends of ours knowing Ken loves anything zippy gave him a jar of jalapeno jelly. Guess what? The jelly was really sweet with no heat. We used it to make a great sauce/glaze for our pork country strips. But, it would also be great on chicken, beef or vegetables. Patti and I have set one…
Valentine Breakfast Biscuit, on Valentine’s Day I always try to do something special for Patti. This year I thought I would start with breakfast. I made this last week to try it out for our Valentine’s Day. It was a hit! So, I thought I would post it in case anyone else wanted to try it… Patti and I have set one night a week…
Armadillo Eggs are a stuffed jalapeno, wrapped in a ¼ pound of spicy sausage. Not for the faint of heart, but just a little zippy! I love these things, but they are not for everybody. Patti makes them for me, and she can’t eat them. This is a great Tailgating and party recipe. We have served these up at 2 Tailgating parties and have run…
Just Peachy Poppers came about because Patti’s pal Harriett brought over some smoky spicy peach salsa on the same day we were talking about a new and different popper. They are such a hit for tailgating parties and appetizers. Stuffed jalapenos are fun to make with so many versatile choices for stuffing. And, of course, wrapping them with bacon makes them just peachy! Patti…
