Lemon Ginger Chicken Strips Ken wanted teriyaki chicken strips, Patti promised to do it better, and she did, without all the sodium of bottled teriyaki sauce. She had all the help she needed with Zaycon Fresh chicken breasts (this one chicken breast was over 2lbs.) cut into strips, and a marinade including Big Dick’s “Big Kahuna” Seasoning and Country Bob’s Honey Habanero All Purpose Sauce.…
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…
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…
Smoked Ham & Swiss Strata One of the many things we love about the Zaycon Fresh boneless ham, besides being really lean and filler free is all the great things we can do with the leftovers. So far we’ve had lots of ham for omelets and sandwiches, plus lots of Patti’s famous casseroles. This one is made with cubes of stale bread, eggs, ham and…
Big Beefy Wet Burritos We had a silly thought of going out to dinner for Mexican food. Why ever would we do that when we do it so much more to our taste! Using our Zaycon Fresh ground beef we knew we’d make the best extra lean, meaty, top quality big beefy burritos. Filled with all the goodies we love including the carne asada seasoning…
Picnic “Fried” Chicken We love to go off into the woods for a romantic picnic. Of course, cold fried chicken and Patti’s famous potato salad is a must. Patti “fried” our chicken on our Louisiana Grill/Smoker because it cooked up crispy with the addition of a delicious smoky finish. She seasoned it just right with Swimmin’ in Smoke Chik Bait Seasoning. Colonel eat your heart…
Char Griller Gettin' It Together Patti shows us how to assemble her new Akorn Kamado Kooker by Char-Griller. Ken & Patti Fisher of Date Night Doins BBQ For Two https://youtu.be/fia1WLCtbOM
Date Night Bacon Cheeseburgers Sometimes when you think of your meal choices only a big, juicy bacon cheeseburger will do. Ken really, really wanted this for our date night. Patti could have not agreed more! This time we used good old American cheese, but we love the options of Swiss, blue, Cheddar, provolone…any flavor you like works. We also like a lot of crispy bacon…
Cheesy Ham Divan We love ham for holiday dinners…and sometimes we make them just to use in casseroles and sandwiches. Being the Pacific Living Outdoor Oven has a smoke box we can add extra smoky goodness to our ham dishes and all the great recipes for the leftovers. Patti loves casseroles using leftovers because she can add all kinds of veggies and different kinds of…
CHEF G's MIDNIGHT "STRUGGLE" PIZZA See the what had happened was...our car was in the shop for repairs, but we didn't have plans to go anywhere and figured we'd be okay for a couple of days...until late-night munchies creeped up, and $h!t got REAL! My fiancé looked in the fridge, and said in a very hungry voice, "There is nothing in here to eat!" Oh…
Caprese Stuffed Chicken Caprese is a fancy name for the combination of mozzarella cheese, tomatoes and basil. We’ve had it several times as a salad. When we got our huge chicken breasts from Zaycon Foods, Patti just had to stuff them with these goodies. Ken loves sun dried tomatoes and Patti loves the fresh basil and green onions from the Murrieta Farmer’s Market. We used…
Spinach & Blue Cheese Stuffed Pork Patti found a huge, (13lb.) extra lean pork loin on sale; we named it “porkenstein”. Ken cut it into three pieces and this is our first recipe with this hunk. The strong flavor of the blue cheese permeated the pork and the fresh spinach added color and hid a nice healthy veggie. Just for fun we used our new…
