The Aloha Fatty We were thinking about do a fatty with a bit of a different twist to it. So we came up with the Aloha Fatty. This guy was packed with the smokey flavors of the sausage and bacon and blended with 2 kinds of cheese, garlic, red pepper, teriyaki, ginger, pineapple and Grandville’s Teriyaki BBQ sauce. We sliced it and served it with…
Kamado Tri Tip Packed with “Big Beef” Flavor Tonight’s dinner was packed with “Big Beef” flavor with a wonderful peppery crust and a kiss of smoke flavor. We love the taste of big beef flavor and nothing says ‘Big Beef” better than Tri-Tip. Tri tip is a very tender cut of beef and full of rich beefy flavor; to give it another layer of flavor…
Smoky Pork Tenderloin Chops A girlfriend of Patti’s makes her pork chops by covering them with bottled Italian salad dressing and baking them. Patti makes her own oil & vinegar salad dressing. So, we made our chops with our homemade version to do proper justice to the moist and tender Zaycon Fresh bacon wrapped pork tenderloins. It was so easy to marinate them all day…
Hot & Saucy Stuffed Sweet Peppers We got some pretty sweet peppers and Ken wanted them spicy, too. So Patti stuffed them with spicy, hot sausage and Spanish rice made with spicy hot V8 juice instead of water. Cooking them on our Pacific Living Outdoor Oven we knew they would be baked right, because it reaches the exact temperature you want and holds it throughout.…
Coffee Injected Chuck Roast, Fiesta Potatoes and a Garlic Skillet We have done a few big chuck roasts now, because they taste great. What I like most about doing these big roasts is that someone always has them on sale. This is a big 8 ½ pounder that Patti found for less than $2.50 a pound. We ate roast beef burgers, BBQ beef sandwiches with…
Smokin’ Hot Meatloaf Today has been a long week and comfort food was mandatory. For us that also means something on the barbecue. We both love meatloaf and it sounded like the perfect plan. Served with Patti’s garlic mashed potatoes, of course. We picked up some nice sourdough bread, and meatloaf sandwiches will be on for tomorrow’s lunch. Ken thinks that’s the best reason to…
South of the Border Fatty We had 4 couples and a few stray friends from our Church over for dinner. I had it all planned out. We would do 8 styles of ribs, plated real nice with a little card that explained what kind of rub and the style I was trying to create. Well, that didn’t work. We had so many ribs that I…

Bacon Candy is so simple to make, only 3 ingredients. Sweet, smoky and just melts in your mouth. Patti and I came to the conclusion that Bacon Candy is just plain Dangerous in a really delicious way.…
Raspberry Garlic Marinated Chicken Legs We’re having a few Veteran friends over to celebrate Memorial Day. They wanted something “kid friendly” for the kids, of all ages, we know love our barbecued chicken grilled on our Char-Griller Akorn Kamado. The ultimate finger food is gooey chicken legs grilled to perfection. Patti made a simple three ingredient marinade and served the chicken with Ken’s famous baked…
https://youtu.be/8krH90wAMR8 We were invited to a neighbor’s potluck and asked to bring an appetizer. Ken wanted to bring little meatballs “Buffalo style”. Using our favorite ground beef aka Zaycon Fresh, which is so very lean, our meatballs didn’t shrink the way ordinary fattier ground beef does. So, instead of golf ball size we had more like tennis ball size. Ken seasoned them with Swimmin’ in…

Breakfast Burger Balls Folks love our Scotch eggs with a hard cooked egg wrapped in sausage and bacon. But, we got a request for beef instead of pork and they insisted we use Zaycon Fresh ground beef because they wanted the best. We would never consider anything else! The hard cooked eggs were wrapped in ½ lb. of Zaycon Fresh ground beef mixed with Chef…
