Tailgater Pizza Chicken Rolls, The play-offs reminded Patti of a recipe she would fix for her beloved dad Jesse. When she was a kid, she would fix this for them on Sundays when they watched the Eagles playing football back in Philly. Tonight we served this over pesto sauced pasta. But, back then she and her dad would have it open faced on big…
Santa Maria Rub a uniquely sweet, smoky and spicy rub from Old California, famous for its great BBQ Tri Tip. We like to do a heavy coat to make a crust of our Santa Maria Rub on Tri Tip for grilling, roasting or smoking for Big Bold Beef BBQ. We also enjoy it on pork, chicken, potatoes and vegies. In Santa Maria every family has…
Uncle Bubba's Bourbon Glaze is a delicious, super simple and beautiful glaze that Absolutely Rocks Ribs. A Kiss of Bourbon, smoked garlic with a hint of black pepper in a glaze made with brown sugar. You’ll love this one! Remembering how my grandfather used to make this: a bit spicy and sweet that’s great on smoky ribs. Check Out All of Our Cookbooks They…
Shrimp au Gratin for our date night this week we wanted something light, but especially delicious. We’ve also gotten requests for Lenten recipes. This recipe would also work really well with lobster, bay scallops (the smaller ones) or your favorite combination. We served this over “Patti’s Fabulous Fettuccine”. Then, we mixed the leftovers together for a special lunch the next day served with mimosa’s made…
The Cajun Burger, Patti had a hankering for Jambalaya, but Ken had to have a bacon cheese burger. So, we compromised and made a burger with our favorite Chef of the Future Cajun Seasoning on a bacon cheeseburger topped with extra large shrimp. It came out great, especially adding our bacon square. Our first ingredient in our cooking is imagination, but sometimes it’s fun.…
His and Her Wings, we both love wings but we don’t like them seasoned the same. Patti is more for Smoky and Savory. Me, I lean for Hot and Fiery. So, we did 6 pounds of both using Briggs True Bourbon Bacon BBQ Sauce as our base sauce. It’s super easy to make lots at one time with our Bull Rack System. Patti just loaded…
Smoked Chuck Roast Argentinian Style, we love the BIG BEEF flavor of a chuck roast. We wanted tacos and there are none better than with smoked shredded beef with a "Kiss of Smoke". This cook was fun because I got to use a 10-cent yard sale treasure, Grandma’s old roaster again! Loaded it up with peppers and onions and into the smoke for about 5…
Chocolate Chipotle Bacon Candy! This stuff is CRAZY GOOD and will be ILLEGAL when the food police hear about it! We’ve put a spicy twist to it to make it even more addictive. We have had it with chocolate and loved it. We even made it when we were cooking at the brewery. What about chipotle? So, we thought we would try it and…
Our Bourbon Bacon Smoked Game Hens were dressed to impress. We had one of Patti’s best friends over for dinner and we wanted to make something extra, extra special, but not with taking a lot of time to prepare. So, we came up with a delicious three ingredient entrée. Rock Cornish Game hens are always popular because everyone gets their own little chicken. This…
Our Best Brisket, for years I have thought of brisket as my BBQ weakness, we are talking years here. But, I can now say I have nailed it and the burnt ends were like meat candy. You would think about running away from home for more! Patti got me a 9 pounder. I’m thinking we will be doing a lot more now and the burnt…
Grilled Banana Split, I was waiting to do something special for Patti tonight. Thinking chocolate is good, and ice cream, bananas with nuts and whipped cream was a symphony of a dessert. Boy did I rack up the points. The hot sweet banana topped with cold ice cream melting over it covered with chocolate, nuts whipped cream and picking up some of the smoke…
Brisket! We smoked a brisket this week for tons of “Big Beef” flavor. Served with Paw Dads Texas BBQ Sauce. It’s a delicious, super simple and beautiful sauce that goes well with anything on the grill. Remembering how my grandfather used to make this: a bit spicy and sweet that’s great on any grilled meat. We enjoyed it all week and used some of…
