Lemon Pepper Chicken Legs We’re having a triple digit summer (we seemed to have missed winter completely) so Ken wanted to go to our favorite wooded spot for a picnic. Patti made extra Lemon Pepper Chicken Legs so we would have a great picnic dish. There are lots of lemon pepper powders full of salt on the market, but this seasoning/grilling sauce had little or…
Traditional Sausage Lasagna We’ve done several lasagna recipes, some simple and some unique. But, we got a request for more traditional lasagna. So, Patti created Traditional Sausage Lasagna. Of course, as always, you can make changes to suit your taste like adding salsa and diced tomatoes with chilies instead of the regular diced tomatoes. Any kind of sausage works really well, too. We also call…
Cheesy Chili Brats and Tots Friends of ours are having a birthday party for their little boy and wanted something yummy, but inexpensive. So, Patti came up with Cheesy Chili Brats and Tots because we know he can happily live on hot dogs. So we combined summer sausage links with potato nuggets, canned chili and cheese. You can also use brats, hot links or your…
Raspberry Balsamic Chicken It’s most definitely summertime. We wanted something light. Raspberry Balsamic Chicken, is easy and full of flavor. Ken likes his salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing.

Pepper Mustard Grilling Sauce Pepper Mustard Grilling Sauce adds a layer of flavor to ribs, pork butt and beef. And it helps hold your seasoning on for BBQ or smoking and it can double as an serving sauce. We love beef.

A Raspberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce is hard to find, we make our own... I like a little ZING to my sauce and some folks call this sauce hot and it is a bit warm if you taste it with a spoon. But after cooking on the grill it really mellows out. So I guess you need to go by your own taste. Me, I like…

We have been doing them at the Farmer’s Market and folks have been…
