Smoked Pork Southwest Egg Rolls Guest Chef Heather That’s not advice you will traditionally find in a fortune cookie but as a card carrying member of the ‘smoke your own meat’ fan club, I promise you that you will never hear a truer statement. In many families the man is the primary carnivore and the one for playing with large instruments of fire. In this…
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…
O’Brien’s Corned Beef Casserole We love big dinners with friends. For this St. Patrick’s Day Patti made three corned beefs, one just for the leftovers for this casserole. This is one of our “Love the Second Time Around” recipes. Most of it can be made ahead of time and makes a great brunch as well as dinner. Using our Pacific Living Outdoor Oven makes it…
Peach Habanero Chicken Breasts We love chicken; it’s so versatile and has very little fat. Ken found a source for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are all natural, huge and especially delicious. We ordered their 40lb. box and have lots and lots of recipe plans for these beauties. The name of the company is Zaycon Foods and we’re proud and happy to be featuring these…
Goat Cheese Stuffed Game Hens Usually we prepare a recipe because we found a nice hunk of meat or some fish that looks good and we plan our recipe around it. Today we built our recipe around finding some fresh goat cheese from Todd and Nicole, owners of Erd Ranch. We know it was fresh because we saw the goats, they were adorable. We’ve known…
Ooey Gooey Mac & Cheese It’s been rainy and cold here. Comfort food was a must. Ken wanted macaroni and cheese, but it had to be extra cheesy with a crunchy topping. Patti said no problem and added bacon and broccoli to make it tastier and a bit healthy. Our Green Mountain Grill/Smoker added extra flavor along with their Green Mountain “Sizzle Seasoning Blend”. Perfect!…
Fiesta Broccoli Bake One of the things we love about our Pacific Living Outdoor Oven is that while Ken is smoking his meat, Patti is making her sides next to him. Plus, we always use the smoke box for even more great flavor. Ken loved the crunchy topping. We love cooking outdoors rain or shine and our Pacific Living Outdoor Oven allows us to cook…

I am always interested in a new wood pellet grill so I jumped right on it. I have had 2 pellet tailgaters in the past and can’t say I was very happy. They had problems in my opinion with heat control simply…
