Cranberry Onion Pork Roast is a festive holiday recipe when you want something smaller than a whole ham. Some of Patti’s friends laugh at her because she actually liked canned cranberry sauce. But, she showed them that it’s great as a base for a sauce or glaze especially with some added garlic or made thinner with a little orange or cranberry juice. It’s not…
Chicken Stuffed Shells Primavera because the holidays are coming and you need something to do with your leftover turkey and veggies. We shared these with our neighbors, Eddie & Kevin, and they both loved them. They said they had all the goodies for a pot pie, but with pasta instead of crust. These were great with leftover chicken, too. But if you want to…
Sizzlin Jalapeño Pork Belly Burnt Ends are Crazy Good!!! We had some pork belly and wanted to do something special with it. And I’m telling you we did. The rich flavor of the pork, seasoned to perfection then a jalapeno glaze. A sweet heat treat with a “Kiss of Smoke.” You’ll want to try these, super easy to do and everyone will love them.…
Chili Corn Pudding, this is one of our 1st recipes I tucked into a folder today. One on my favorites that my mother made for the holidays. It brings back happy memories of times long gone. Hope you enjoy it as we have. Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie, not everything good comes off the grill!!! We were wanting something special for our Thanksgiving dessert and this is what we thought up. This simple no bake pie will satisfy your peanut butter and chocolate craving hugely! Peanut Butter and Chocolate and giving it more thought we came up with Peanut Butter and Chocolate. So, we decided we would run…
Smoky Garlic Jalapeno Hot Sauce, I needed more Jalapeno Hot Sauce and Garlic Sauce this week. So, we loaded up our Bull Racks and put them on our gasser with a wedgie for a 2 ½ hours cold smoke. We loaded up our wedgie with Green Mountain’s Texas blend pellets for that “Kiss of Smoke”. This time I went with a “Garlic” Jalapeno Hot…
Ham Tangerine Honey Glaze, we have lots of fruit trees and Ken especially loves the tangerines. So, Patti juiced about 4 cups worth for our ham. To make it extra special and festive we served it with fresh steamed green beans tossed with a tablespoon of white truffle oil and some grated Parmesan cheese. Plus, long grain and wild rice with a few handfuls of…
Honey Rubbed Smoked Turkey because we love the flavor of turkey with a gentle “Kiss of Smoke”. Turkeys being on sale we got a few of them to smoke just for sandwiches and casseroles. Think about “Honey Rubbed Smoked Turkey sandwiches”, so good… I did a double smoke by cold smoking it first for 2 hours with Smoke Daddy’s “Cold Smoke Generator” then bring…
Simple Spatchcocked Smoked Turkey with a nice “Kiss of Smoke” was the perfect dinner for a hot day. Let me explain: It’s been triple digit hot here so slow smoking a turkey was a delicious idea for cold sandwiches and future casseroles. We used three simple ingredients and Green Mountain Apple pellets for full flavored, no fuss, no heating up the kitchen turkey! Patti…
Lemon Pepper Trout went fishing and came home with some nice trout. My first thought was to fire up the grill. Stuff them with lemon and dill then give them a “Kiss of Smoke” because they are a real treat. Grilled trout is so tender the meat just flakes apart and the bones just lift out in one piece. Patti and I have set…
Chicken Lasagna Florentine because Patti loves Italian food but can never find lasagna with a white sauce when she goes out to eat. Plus, with Thanksgiving so close we have lots and lots of turkey recipes, but not many for leftovers. This recipe was a keeper because she used lots of cheese and the spinach made it healthy. It was extra easy because you…
Honey Pepper Back Strap Bacon, our new love is makin’ bacon. There is something special about making your own bacon. It’s very easy to do and better than any store-bought bacon we’ve ever had. That said there is no such thing as “Bad” bacon, just some is better than others. We ordered some Awesome pork loins from Texas Steak Warehouse, tender and juicy. Love…
