Tri Tip Slow Smoked with Mushroom Wine Sauce Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Green Mountain Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood burning stove, little lights, candles, lanterns and…
Smoky Chipotle Garlic Chicken was a perfect way to enjoy Ken’s Smoky Chipotle Garlic Sauce. It’s an extra easy to fix dinner using a whole “spatchcocked” chicken and Louisiana Grill’s Raspberry Chipotle Chicken Rub. Not many ingredients, but tons of flavor. Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Green…
Pulled Pork Green Chili Pulled Pork Green Chili was Ken’s brainchild. He loves pulled pork and green chili. We had plenty of one and none of the other. We had some of his smoked pulled pork in the freezer, plus his smoked jalapeno sauce and lots of other goodies blended into an awesome Smoky Green Chili. We smoked our peppers and onions on our Bull…
Smoked Beef Stroganoff Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Green Mountain Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood burning stove, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a…
Lotta Cheese Cheese Burger, we got a complaint from some friends that when they go out for burgers the meat is paper thin and the cheese, if you can find any, is tasteless. We had no choice but to say “See you tomorrow, come hungry!” Everyone was happily stuffed and knew they were eating a cheese burger. They may be back again tomorrow. Not only…
Guest Chef Robert Blackout Stew, it was October 29th, 2011 we had a very unusual and extremely rare ice storm in New Jersey . Leaves were still on the trees and from the weight of the ice, tree limbs and whole trees were coming down knocking out power lines and left us and tens of thousands of others without power for 5 days. Coincidentally,…
Buffalo, BBQ and Lemon Pepper Wings!!! We wanted wings this week and we both wanted something different. (As Usual) I like them on the “Zippy Side”, Patti likes them more on the “Savory Side”. I love Lemon Pepper Chicken so we did a batch of wings that way, too. Putting our new Green Mountain Prime to the test we did a cook loading it up…
German Chocolate Earthquake Cake German Chocolate Earthquake Cake, man this was good. It was so rich with chocolate, coconut and almonds. With a big glass of cold milk I was in chocolate heaven! Patti received the ultimate compliment for this dessert. Ken said it was so good he’d go out for some if he had to and it was after midnight. A version was made…
Armadillo Eggs are a stuffed jalapeno, wrapped in a ¼ pound of spicy sausage. Not for the faint of heart, but just a little zippy! I love these things, but they are not for everybody. Patti makes them for me, and she can’t eat them. This is a great Tailgating and party recipe. We have served these up at 2 Tailgating parties and have run…
Buffalo Wings & Links We had a friend coming for dinner and he made the mistake of saying that he could eat a mountain of wings. So, we thought we’d give him a chance by doing a mountain of Buffalo wings & links. We did 4 different kinds of wings and sauces and threw in some zippy hot links. If I say so myself we…
The Wedgie With the Wedgie you can add professionally smoked food to your menu with any gas grill. Now all gas grills become actual wood smoking grills for $29. The Wedgie is a 9”x 6”and 2” deep smoking wedge. It works best with wood pellets that you can burn 2 to 4 hours depending on how full you fill it… It’s a smoking fool that…

Crazy Good!!! This is an in your face burger or should I say it’s an “On Your Face” burger! Patti and I…
