Fire and Ice Cajun Chicken Sticks. Tonight’s Date Night dinner is something my mother loved. We grilled up some Fire & Ice Cajun Chicken Sticks, with a Fire & Ice dipping sauce, Wings o’ Fire with a good blue cheese dipping sauce and a batch of Teriyaki Shrimp Skewers. Fire and Ice Cajun Chicken Sticks, my mother loved to get the whole family together…
Date Night Surf and Turf, this week we had a lot going on, Rat’s birthday (our 6lb. toy poodle rescue) and Date Night. So, we thought we would do a special dinner to include everyone. We did a nice 2 inch Sirloin, Garlic Cheddar Cauliflower, Smoked Chipotle Garlic and some skewers of Ginger Teriyaki Shrimp. All made for a beautiful night. Rat was happy,…
Orange Ginger Shrimp, Ken brought home some jumbo shrimp on the same day we got some of Chef of the Future’s new seasoning/rub Orange Ginger Pepper. A delicious coincidence was born as Orange Ginger Shrimp! Great for a quick dinner and that you could serve at a fancy dinner party. As a side Patti used boxed rice pilaf and added a small drained can of…
NY Strip & Shrimp we were planning on just throwing a NY Strip on the grill then I learned it was National Shrimp Day. So, Patti made up some skewers to go with our steaks. We did up some smoked garlic and onions in our Lodge personal skillets and grilled avocado to round things out. Patti and I have set one night a week…
Honey Mustard Tuna Steaks were a light dinner after lots of ribs and burgers. It was a quick and easy entrée using mostly ingredients we had on hand. Patti served it with a box of cheesy broccoli rice made according to package directions but added a handful of sliced green onions for color and a few extra shakes of Loubier All Purpose seasoning for another…
Lemon Pepper Trout went fishing and came home with some nice trout. My first thought was to fire up the grill. Stuff them with lemon and dill then give them a “Kiss of Smoke” because they are a real treat. Grilled trout is so tender the meat just flakes apart and the bones just lift out in one piece. Patti and I have set…
Grilled Trout Amandine! I went fishing last week and came home with some nice fish. My first thought was to fire up the grill. Stuff them with lemon and herbs then give them a “Kiss of Smoke” because they are a real treat. Grilled trout are so tender the meat just flakes apart and the bones just lift out in one piece. Patti and…
Citrus Ahi Tuna Steaks Smokin’ on Your Gasser was a quick and easy recipe on our gas grill. Something a bit different for tailgating. Tons of flavor with only three marinade ingredients. Your friends will adore you as a “Grill Master”. Easy to serve in a slider bun, on a plate or wrapped in a tortilla. A real treat with a “Kiss of Smoke”…
Lemon Tarragon Shrimp and Scallops is just like Spring: light and bright. Patti used fresh lemon juice and plain Greek yogurt to give it a creamy sour cream-like flavor. It had a crunchy topping from crushed cheese crackers. Patti likes them because the crackers come in so many flavors. And with warmer weather just around the corner these only took about 10 minutes on…
Smoked Shrimp and Bacon Wrapped Scallops with Crabby Mac, a "Blast from the Past". This is our original post form 2014, you can see how we have grown over the years… (I was able to clean up the photos, but they are still a bit lacking.) This Valentine’s Day Patti wanted to do something special. All the stores had sea food on sale so…
Orange- Ginger Glazed Salmon, I love the combination of orange and ginger and we had been thinking about grilling salmon for some time. I told Patti I wanted something with the taste of orange in it and this is what she came up with. The wild caught Alaskan Salmon was awesome, sweet, tender and juicy with all the flavors of the grill just covered in…
Ken wanted something quick, but delicious and Patti wanted something easy and a bit elegant. After all it was our date night! Plus, with the Lenten season we wanted something non-meat. This was perfect with lots of shrimp in butter, lemon and garlic sauce with just a hint of Dijon mustard. Making in on our Outdoor Oven made it so easy and we love…
