Quarnitas Tacos, a great quarantine meal for the whole family. Rich and delicious fork tender pork carnitas for tacos, burritos or enchiladas with a “Kiss of Smoke” on our 7-year-old Green Mountain Grill Davy Crockett tailgater. This is a great little grill and it’s perfect tailgating and camping cooking also! We had more than a few meals this week and the neighborhood smelled wonderful for…
Honey Sriracha Chicken Skewers have the perfect touch of heat. Using our Bull Racks we can make lots at one time which are good because they get gobbled up really fast. Just a few glaze ingredients and you have quick and easy snacks seasoned just right on your Green Mountain Grill/Smoker. These are great for home, tailgating, parities and camping. We have always loved…
Smoked Chuck Roast, Patti was going to do a pot roast in the oven. I got to thinking I was going to miss my grill time this weekend and I didn’t like that idea, at all. I had never heard of anyone doing a roast on the grill before and got to thinking, what did folks do before they had nice ovens in the house.…
Cold Smoked Baloney, an easy flavorful treat. We do a 10-pound chub of baloney every month. Normally we do a “Hot” smoke. (over 100*) Cold Smoking is done under a 100*. This month I want to cold smoke some onions for a bacon jam and a pork loin for a cook I was working on using my “Smoke Daddy” cold smoke generator” and thought…
Ken’s Cajun Kick Sausage Melt features Ken’s homemade Cajun sausage. From piggy to plate his sausage is all natural because he mixes all the ingredients himself before putting the meat through our meat grinder. We made two big patties from a pound and a half of pork plus slices of our smoked cheese. Wow they were good! This was a win-win. Keep in mind that…
This is Our Favorite Mac & Cheese, it’s creamy and delicious just the way it is. But, it makes a great start to adding leftover chicken, seafood and/ or veggies. We had some leftover broccoli we added this time. Patti loves to add mushrooms sautéed in butter and Sherry plus seafood, about a 1/2 pound each lobster, scallops and crab to make it elegant. Ken…
Simple Tri Tip Nothing says true beef flavor like Simple Tri Tip. We enjoy the smoky flavor from the grill and the great sandwiches with the leftovers. Life is good! These guys are quick and easy to grill and they allow you to go in many different flavor profiles. This one was as simple as you can get. We seasoned it with Leggs Old Plantation…
Pollo en Mile De Cacahuate a “South of the Border” treat! Tender chicken breast in a savory honey peanut sauce with chipotle chili and a “Kiss of Mesquite Smoke”! We made our Mile De Cacahuate Salsa with roasted peanuts, honey, tomatoes, and a Chipotle base that you can take in any direction for beef, pork, and chicken. A versatile sauce that is a little sweet…
Bacon Cheddar Burger With Zesty Avocado Sauce, around here the burger is "King" I LOVE BIG BURGERS! A new burger is always a delicious adventure. We are always coming up with a new twist on a good burger. That is both fun to make and eat. We both love bacon and that's a good building point. Thinking tonight we might add some big beefy burgers and…
Peg Leg Chicken, it took us four tries to get it right. For you that don’t know what this is, it is chicken legs wrapped in bacon then put on the smoker and smothered in a good sauce. It is REALLY GOOD and I think we have it down. I was told that this is the best we have done yet. I did a different…
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…
Avocado Chipotle Cheeseburger is a nice Cheeseburger infused with the flavors of hickory smoke, garlic, onions and chipotle chili. Topped off with Colby- Jack cheese and rich, creamy slices of avocado. Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Green Mountain Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside.…
