Review of Chef Of The Future Rub & Seasoning Here at Date Night Doins Patti and I are fortunate that we get to sample, taste and use lots of sauces and seasonings. So far all are good and some are better. But, sometimes one just steps out that it is so good you hurt yourself licking your lips. Chef Of The Future Rub & Seasonings…

You just know that your living the good life... Easy, Simple and Good... Ingredients: Bacon Gravy 6 slices of pepper bacon Wondra or flour Milk 1 Tbsp.…
Pork Loin with Bacon Gravy We found a neat old piece of cast iron last week at a yard sale. Now it’s Ken’s newest favorite cast iron roaster. So Patti got me a whole pork loin that I cut down to fit and tossed in some red potato halves for our side. Then she made me some bacon gravy to top it off… With the…
Pecan Crusted Chicken Tenders This recipe was especially tasty and fun to make. Patti cut one of Zaycon Fresh chicken breasts into ½” strips. Using Zaycon Fresh chicken breasts we knew it would be tender and full of flavor…if we didn’t have Zaycon Fresh we would have just called them chicken strips. You can really taste the difference. Plus, we got to use Ken’s Mom’s…
BBQ Pork Chops with South Carolina-Style Mustard Barbecue Sauce We love big thick pork chops any way they come. Patti gets us a big pork loin and I cut big chops out if it for the grill. Tonight I took some of these chops and grilled them with our new South Carolina-Style Mustard Barbecue Sauce and they were Awesome!!! So good you can serve them up…
A Raspberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce is hard to find, we make our own... I like a little ZING to my sauce and some folks call this sauce hot and it is a bit warm if you taste it with a spoon. But after cooking on the grill it really mellows out. So I guess you need to go by your own taste. Me, I like…
Caesar Marinated Chicken Leg Quarters It’s been a long day, plus 97 degrees of dry heat. But, we still have to have dinner. Thanks to our Pacific Living Outdoor Oven we made an easy three ingredient dinner and kept the kitchen cool. We love doing recipes with “on hand” ingredients and served with cold sliced tomatoes this was perfect. Patti made enough to have some…
https://youtu.be/UJuX9PsIm8o Smoked Jalapeno Poppers Video This is one of our first videos done with our old camera. Almost embarrassing compared to our videos now. But it does get the message across... We enjoy Smoked Jalapeno Poppers or ABT’s ( Atomic Buffalo Turds ) as they are referred to in the BBQ world. We have been doing them at the Farmer’s Market and folks have been…
https://youtu.be/vaumUsewWlc Twisted Piggy Burnt Ends Last week I was talking with Jim Olson, one of my Facebook friends, about our “Poor Man’s Burnt Ends”. He said that he has used pork strips as another cheap alternative to brisket. Well, that got me to thinking and we all know that is a painful process to say the least. So, thinking on it for a few days…
Pretzel Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops We don’t eat much fried food, but oven fried pork chops sounded good. Patti took it a few steps further. Instead of a fry pan we used our Green Mountain Grill. Instead of plain old bread crumbs Patti crushed hard pretzels mixed with parmesan cheese and with Green Mountain Grills Pork Seasoning. Perfect. Patti and I have set one night…
Southwestern Cabbage Rolls Patti’s family emigrated from Eastern Europe and she had fond memories of these cabbage rolls that were called one thing in German and another in Polish. But, Ken being from Texas we made them a little zippier. Patti made them extra easy using an instant brown rice, bottled tomato sauce and some of our favorite southwestern seasonings. Plus, you can put it…
Smoked Pastrami Pin Wheel We love pastrami sandwiches with hot mustard, cheese and dill pickles. Happily corned beef has been on sale and smoked corned beef is pastrami! To make it the perfect sandwich roll size we butterflied the corned beef, smeared it inside with mustard, layered on slices of Swiss cheese and rolled it up, generously sprinkling inside and out with Legg’s BBQ Seasoning.…
