Pork Loin with Bacon Gravy We found a neat old piece of cast iron last week at a yard sale. Now it’s Ken’s newest favorite cast iron roaster. So Patti got me a whole pork loin that I cut down to fit and tossed in some red potato halves for our side. Then she made me some bacon gravy to top it off… With the…
BBQ Pork Chops with South Carolina-Style Mustard Barbecue Sauce We love big thick pork chops any way they come. Patti gets us a big pork loin and I cut big chops out if it for the grill. Tonight I took some of these chops and grilled them with our new South Carolina-Style Mustard Barbecue Sauce and they were Awesome!!! So good you can serve them up…
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…
https://youtu.be/UJuX9PsIm8o Smoked Jalapeno Poppers Video This is one of our first videos done with our old camera. Almost embarrassing compared to our videos now. But it does get the message across... We enjoy Smoked Jalapeno Poppers or ABT’s ( Atomic Buffalo Turds ) as they are referred to in the BBQ world. We have been doing them at the Farmer’s Market and folks have been…
https://youtu.be/vaumUsewWlc Twisted Piggy Burnt Ends Last week I was talking with Jim Olson, one of my Facebook friends, about our “Poor Man’s Burnt Ends”. He said that he has used pork strips as another cheap alternative to brisket. Well, that got me to thinking and we all know that is a painful process to say the least. So, thinking on it for a few days…
Pretzel Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops We don’t eat much fried food, but oven fried pork chops sounded good. Patti took it a few steps further. Instead of a fry pan we used our Green Mountain Grill. Instead of plain old bread crumbs Patti crushed hard pretzels mixed with parmesan cheese and with Green Mountain Grills Pork Seasoning. Perfect. Patti and I have set one night…
Smoked Pastrami Pin Wheel We love pastrami sandwiches with hot mustard, cheese and dill pickles. Happily corned beef has been on sale and smoked corned beef is pastrami! To make it the perfect sandwich roll size we butterflied the corned beef, smeared it inside with mustard, layered on slices of Swiss cheese and rolled it up, generously sprinkling inside and out with Legg’s BBQ Seasoning.…
St. Patti’s Roll Up We are always trying to think outside of the box. So, for St. Patrick’s Day we came up with an untraditional traditional meal. Sounds like us: traditional in an untraditional way…and loving it! We did a roll up with corned beef and cabbage our way. Sometimes the best meals are quick and easy, this is both. Patti and I have set…

Lemon Pepper Chicken Kabobs After a long weekend we wanted something light, but still healthy with lots of flavor. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are so versatile we use them for lots of recipes. We added veggies for healthy color and Louisiana Lemon Pepper seasoning to add just the right amount of spice. For our sides we brightened up plain white rice by cooking it with…
Cold Smoked Cheese We love Cold Smoked Cheese and we use it in our recipes to add a whole new layer of flavor. Things like Mac and Cheese, Stuffed meatloaf, lasagna and burgers are crazy good picking up the smoky flavors of the grill. Not even talking about sauces and dips. I have been thinking what it would be like to add a good rub…
Wings Anyone Ken‘s best buddy, Tony the sailor man, came to visit for the holidays and had to have chicken wings to go with lots of football viewing. Ken found some new extra zippy sauces he loves and Patti wanted more of a mustard based sauce. Patti bought 5lbs. of chicken wings and we all had plenty that were sauced just right. Ken & Tony…
