Potato Cheddar Pierogies Au Gratin Ken loves pierogies, Patti loves how easy they are to buy frozen and fix in lots of different ways. We planned on having simple bacon cheeseburgers for dinner with the pierogies as a side dish. Well, they were so good we had them as the main dish. You can make the pierogies either thawed or frozen and with a few…
Spinach & Swiss Twice Baked Potato For date night we were having a simple, but delicious, sirloin streak for dinner. To add a special side Patti made a twice baked potato full of Swiss cheese, of course bacon and spinach to make it healthy. We microwave the potatoes until soft, then spoon the insides into a bowl with some of our favorite goodies and finished…
https://youtu.be/yUBq3FSIsHU Chef Of The Future Rub & Seasoning Video 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…
Steak & Egg Frittata One of Ken’s favorite meals is sirloin steak; one of Patti’s is playing with leftovers. So, we made two big sirloins for date night. The next day we had friends coming for brunch and what’s better than steak and eggs? A big cast iron skillet of steak and eggs smoked to perfection, seasoned just right with our Cattleman’s Grill Steakhouse Seasoning…
https://youtu.be/CxZJzCwULcY Stuffed Burger Dogs Video It’s the time of year for burgers and hot dogs! Hence the burger dog, but no wieners were harmed in this recipe. Patti wrapped her Chef Of The Future seasoned hamburger around a 2oz. log of extra sharp cheddar cheese, rolled it into a hot dog shape and served it on hot dog buns with our favorite hot dog condiments…which…
Twice Baked Garlic Potatoes We love twice baked potatoes because there’s so much you can stuff them with, leftover meat, veggies or whatever. There lots of goodies for stuffing so we have lots of opportunities. Patti decided to use a garlic sauce in the potatoes and loved it. She used it instead of the usual butter, sour cream and milk. It worked really well. They’ll…
Guest Chef G's BEST HOMEMADE PANCAKES I'm not a breakfast person, so the only time I cook pancakes is by request. And when I do, I make the batter from scratch. And for this batch I used what is now my new favorite, very versatile pancake recipe that I found at the Foodies’ Kitchen website. What I like about these are the subtle sweetness, and…
Italian Sausage Mac & Cheese It’s amazing how many recipe requests we get for macaroni & cheese. That’s fine with us, it’s quick, easy and has unlimited variations. We used Ken’s favorite hot Italian sausage along with lots of his cold smoked cheddar and Patti insisted on fresh broccoli to keep it healthy. Being it was 101 here today we were more than happy to…

Cold smoking cheese is so easy with our GMG loaded with Bull Racks and smoke from the Wedgie. We…

Guest Chef G's WHITE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS There are countless recipes available for chicken enchiladas, and many people have a "favorite" one. Well this is my favorite for White Chicken Enchiladas. I actually adapted it from a recipe by Ree Drummond, Food Network's Pioneer Woman. It is slightly elaborate, but not difficult at all. However, the wonderful flavor of the enchiladas is well worth the effort.…
