Firehouse Stuffed Meatloaf, Winter weather, even in California, begs for meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Our friend Pete makes award winning sauces and rubs. One taste and you’ll know why. We also really like that salt is never the first ingredient. Of course, if you’re making this recipe for your local firehouse you might want to triple the recipe. Patti and I have set one…
Last week we went up the mountain to do Tabasco Chipotle Stuffed Pork Chops with Dad. He being a big Tabasco fan had just received a case of goodies he had ordered from them. He gave me 4 different bottles of Tabasco sauce, their new mustard and a bottle topper. The topper is a basting brush that screws onto a Tabasco bottle… You can…
Alabama White BBQ Sauce, We love all the flavors of southern BBQ and Alabama White BBQ Sauce is one of my favorites. Almost everyone has their own family recipe for this all purpose sauce. This one was my mother’s, a mayonnaise-based sauce, on the tangy side with a kiss of horseradish, and mustard. It’s a delicious, easy and beautiful sauce to have in your…
Chicken Tacos, I told Patti that I wanting chicken this week. Well she found it on sale and came home with a lot of chicken. I wanted to do something along the lines of soft chicken tacos. Patti got me a nice 6 pounder that I smoked in a Mole sauce with a few handfuls of peppers. Patti and I have set one night a…
All American Presidential Burger was made to honor our all American President who, like us, loves a great burger. We formed our ½ pound burgers from ground Bison and, of course, topped them with American cheese, onion rings and bacon. All with a “Kiss of Smoke” using our wedgie loaded with Bourbon wood pellets. So Good… Patti and I have set one night a…
Country Ribs Texas Style, we love ribs in any form. These are also known as country strips. They were thick and meaty with a bone in (Patti’s preference), but they also come boneless. Either way is just right seasoned with Briggs True Texas Seasoning and thickly basted with Briggs True Bourbon Bacon Barbeque Sauce and a “Kiss of Smoke”. So tender, and so Good!!!…
South of the Border Crustless Pizza! I love just about anything “South of the Border”!! Our crustless pizza was packed with a mound of Spicy Chorizo sausage, jalapenos, smoked garlic and smothered with our smoked Pepper Jack Cheese. Low carb and huge flavor. More than just good, it is a supper easy camp or tailgating dish to do on the Green Mountain Davey Crockett…
Smoky White Chicken Chili because Ken has been making chili for almost 40 years, but this is the first time with chicken. Patti found a great deal on boneless, skinless chicken breasts and it’s definitely chili weather. So, we came up with our own version of white chicken chili. Spicy enough for Ken and mild enough for Patti with or without sour cream. Plus,…
Our South of the Border Burnt Ends and Tips were a bit zippy. I nailed it! These were like a ZIPPY meat candy. Note: Ken’s idea of zippy is a true tongue scorcher. Depending on your heat level you may want to tone these down. Patti and Rat (our little dog) couldn't eat them. For me, off the hook and jam packed with all the…
Horsey Mustard Rib Roast was the perfect dinner for a special birthday party. This big boy was over 8 ½ lbs. of juicy, tender perfection. Patti made a Horsey Mustard Sauce with just a hint of fresh rosemary made even better with our own Smoked Garlic Sauce, Date Night Heat and Briggs True Texas Mustard Sauce and with a “Kiss of Smoke”. Patti and…
Smoked Prime Rib Roast, we did 2 Prime Rib Roasts. We live in a senior’s community and we were able to have a few of the folks over to share dinner with us. They left smiling and happy and full. That makes us happy and thankful that we could add a little family and fellowship to their lives.
After a long week we wanted a simple date night dinner, but it had to be as good as it as easy. We cut some beautiful 2 inch boneless loin chops from a huge pork loin we got last week. Patti wrapped them with maple bacon, and seasoned them generously with Wyld Seasoning "Desert Dust" and off to the Green Mountain Grill for that "Kiss…
