Our 1st. Cook on the Green Mountain Davy Crockett Tailgater Green Mountain’s Davy Crockett Review Green Mountain Grills asked us if we would take a look at their new Davy Crockett Tailgater. I am always interested in a new wood pellet grill so I jumped right on it. I have had 2 pellet tailgaters in the past and can’t say I was very happy. They…

The Pig Tail is cleverly designed to lightly pierce the edge of virtually any solid food. A quick flip of the wrist and the food is turned over. The Pig Tail can handle anything: a whole rack of…
http://youtu.be/rB8Nt16ithw Pork Loin with Sherried Apples and Cranberries This is one of our “Count Down To The Holidays” recipes. We always do traditional holiday recipes, but this time we wanted something a little different and still festive. The pork was juicy and tender with a cranberry apple glaze to add to the layers of flavors. Patti made enough apple cranberry stuffing to have as a…
Saber 500SS Review Saber sent us one of their 500SS grills. This is a big stainless steel gas grill that was delivered in my driveway by a semi truck. I have had more than a few grills sent to me and the first thing I look at now is the package, and damage from poor packing and ease of unpacking. When you open the box…
Bacon Stuffed Pork Tenderloin You know how when you plan something all week and when the time comes “Oh, oh”. Then, you fall back to Alternate Plan “B”. Well, that was our date night this week. I was thinking pork medallions. When we opened the pork tenderloin we found that we did not get one large one. But, instead we got two small ones. But,…
Just Hanging Out on The Royall 3000 Along Comes Daisy A Pellet Grill Recipe We were given another pig for my birthday. I have always wanted to do a whole pig but thought you needed special equipment, grills or deep holes dug in your yard. This is the second one I have done in about 6 weeks. I just can’t get over HOW SIMPLE this…
Grilled Spaghetti with Sausage MeatballsPatti 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…

So, we did a reverse sear then a slow smoke on dinner tonight. Patti got us a nice 4 pound Tri Tip that was perfect. And it will be perfect as sandwiches tomorrow on crusty French bread. I was going to do…

Sweet & Sassy Stuffed Pork Tenderloin Sweet & Sassy Stuffed Pork Tenderloin We love to do pork loins because they’re so versatile and reasonably priced. It’s all meat and no waste, and you can stuff them so many different ways. We’ve used our favorite recipe box stuffing mix with all kinds of different add-ins, leftover mashed potatoes with vegetables or some interesting leftovers. This time…
Smoked Chipotle Garlic Treat Smokey tender sweet garlic and onions, kissed with a little chipotle and a dash of jalapeno. Yum. We do a garlic skillet all the time. But, tonight thought I would try a “Personal Size” garlic skillet. These little cast iron pots are 3 ½ “wide, 6 “long and 1 ¼ inches deep, perfect for an individual serving. Any oven safe dish…
Plank Smoked Brie Cheese This is a simple Plank Smoked Brie Cheese that is just jam packed with flavor. Pun intended! Every time we have made it our crash test dummies have fussed over it, and it is so simple to make. Once, after a long day, we just had this for dinner with a well chilled Chablis. We used a Maple smoking plank and soaked…
