Wings Anyone

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…

Grandville’s Bacon Cheese Burger

Grandville’s Bacon Cheese Burger This week I wanted to put a different twist on our bacon cheese burger. I like the bacon in the burger. And what can be better than bacon, chipotle and cheese with some of Steve’s Grandville Gourmet BBQ Sauce. (We just used the beef to hold it all together.) The bacon flavor just jumps out at you and the smoky flavor…

Fiery Cowboy Pizza

Fiery Cowboy Pizza Ken wanted a really spicy, meaty pizza and the best way to make it was with some leftover “Fiery Chuck Roast” and lots of shredded pepper jack cheese that we cold smoked last week. We used enchilada sauce instead of tomato sauce to continue our south of the border flavor and ready made pizza crust to make it easy. We used some…

Big Beefy Wet Burritos

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…

Jalapeno Glazed Bacon Wrapped and Stuffed Pork Loin

A Chipotle Orange Glazed Bacon Wrapped and Stuffed Pork Loin, Off the Hook We had friends drop in that we hadn’t seen in sometime. Well before long we were talking about BBQ and what’s for dinner. Patti had just picked up a couple of packages of pork tenderloins so that is what we ran with and definitely scored a touchdown. This is a supper main…

Patti’s Firecracker Chili

Patti’s Firecracker Chili We had 3lbs. of stew beef and a few ideas. Stew, for instance, but that included veggies Ken doesn’t like. I suggested chili and was scoffed at because Ken is the chili master…a well deserved title. But, today I actually impressed him with my first from scratch chili. Woo Hoo! Lots of smoky heat and tender meat. Excellent. Patti and I have…

Chipotle Orange Chicken

Chipotle Orange Chicken Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Pacific Living Pizza Oven 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 little…

Beef Tenderloin Burritos

  • Post category:Beef

Beef Tenderloin Burritos I got this idea from Larry Gaian, a well-known barbeque expert. You can see more from Larry at: http://www.embersandflame.com/ . He made tacos from one of these tenderloins. His were made with his favorite spices, as were mine, he folded, but I rolled my tortilla. It’s all good. Being they’re burritos but made with the tenderloin, Patti calls them “simply fancy”. And these…
