Pizza Burgers Pizza Burgers were fun because we could add our favorite pizza toppings. Ken likes loads of pepperoni and Patti prefers sautéed mushrooms and spinach. We mixed pizza blend cheese into lean ground beef, seasoned with Butcher BBQ Steak & Brisket Rub. Then, when these beauties were grilled to taste with a “Kiss of Smoke” using Pacific Pellet Gourmet BBQ Pellet Smoked Hickory pellets.…
Very Berry Cobbler in a Lodge Dutch Oven Very Berry Cobbler. At the Murrieta Farmer’s Market we got a wonderful selection of fresh, juicy berries. Lots of organically grown eggs and veggies, but that’s for other recipes. Ken loves my raspberry cobbler, so for an extra treat we mixed raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. With a "Kiss of Smoke" using Mountain Maple pellets. Served with either…
Lemon Dill Grilled Salmon Lemon Dill Grilled Salmon, it was 90 degrees here today so a light fish dinner was definitely on the menu. Patti made a simple sauce with fresh lemons and fresh dill from the Murrieta Farmer’s Market. She seasoned it with Green Mountain Roasted Garlic Chipotle Seasoning Blend which just added to the bright, fresh taste of the salmon. This seasoning rub…
Western Bacon Cheese Burger Pizza Our Western Bacon Cheese Burger Pizza was another perfect marriage because one of us wanted pizza and the other had to have a western bacon cheeseburger. Patti really put the cheese in cheeseburger with a full pound of shredded Mozzarella cheese added to the two pounds of lean ground beef. Ken likes his bacon cheeseburgers with BBQ sauce so we…
Horseradish Sauce Horseradish Sauce started because Patti’s good pal gave her a jar of horseradish. We were having one of Ken’s reverse sear 2” sirloins and we had an “aha” moment. We’ve been to lots of steak places and theirs were served with horseradish sauce. So, we made up some of our own! It was quick and easy and went perfect with our 2” sirloin.…
Honey Glazed Pork Loin Honey Glazed Pork Loin was a very moist and tender smoked pork loin with a hint of sweet and savory at the same time. It was a great dinner, but later the sandwiches with ½ inch slices of pork were crazy good!!! We brined it the day before and then injected it with Butcher BBQ Pork Injection. Then seasoned with Butcher…

Blue Lamb Burgers Blue Lamb Burgers, our friend Nancy doesn’t eat beef. So, we suggested the “other red meat”. She’d never had lamb so she was pleasantly surprised by how lean it was and that the flavor was much stronger than beef, too. We added her favorite blue cheese and served them medium rare. Ken loved making them because he got to use his new…
Barbequed Chicken Bourbon Bacon Glaze Barbequed Chicken Bourbon Bacon Glaze, because sometimes simple is really delicious. Ken wanted a simple barbecued chicken and we did great with a little help from our friends. Just three ingredients made for a delicious easy dinner. We plan to do two of these beauties next time and take the second one on a romantic picnic. Lovely. We did a…
P B & J Burger P.B. & J. Burger… Think about a thick, juicy burger with a square of bacon, smothered with a peanut jalapeno sauce, then topped with cheese. Oh dang, those are some very nice thoughts we’ve been having all day. We love our Char-Griller’d burgers here and are always trying new flavor combinations. The one folks complain about the most until they…
https://youtu.be/aSFlH2IQGs4 Orange Ginger Shrimp Video Ken brought home some jumbo shrimp on the same day we got some of Chef of the Future’s new seasoning/rub Orange Ginger Pepper. A delicious coincidence was born as Orange Ginger Shrimp! Great for a quick dinner and that you could serve at a fancy dinner party. As a side Patti used boxed rice pilaf and added a small drained…
Spatchcock Chicken We love grilled chicken; thinking a Spatchcock Chicken would be good, easy and flavorful tonight. It was simple enough for a weeknight dinner and pretty enough for company. Spatchcock Chicken is simple and easy to do on the Char-Griller Akorn Kamado Grill. As an added treat we used Chef of the Future Floribbean Rub and Seasoning with some of Lumberjack’s new “Paris-Bordeaux Rosemary”…
