Rainy Day Chicken Fried Steak, tonight we had to cook inside. I know it never rains in California. But, we got so much rain our patio roof collapsed. It sounded like an artillery round going off. All that water almost washed the fish out of their pond. We have wanted to do some country fried steak and here was our chance to do a…
Alabama White BBQ Sauce, We love all the flavors of southern BBQ and Alabama White BBQ Sauce is one of my favorites. Almost everyone has their own family recipe for this all purpose sauce. This one was my mother’s, a mayonnaise-based sauce, on the tangy side with a kiss of horseradish, and mustard. It’s a delicious, easy and beautiful sauce to have in your…
Chicken Tacos, I told Patti that I wanting chicken this week. Well she found it on sale and came home with a lot of chicken. I wanted to do something along the lines of soft chicken tacos. Patti got me a nice 6 pounder that I smoked in a Mole sauce with a few handfuls of peppers. Patti and I have set one night a…
All American Presidential Burger was made to honor our all American President who, like us, loves a great burger. We formed our ½ pound burgers from ground Bison and, of course, topped them with American cheese, onion rings and bacon. All with a “Kiss of Smoke” using our wedgie loaded with Bourbon wood pellets. So Good… Patti and I have set one night a…
Country Ribs Texas Style, we love ribs in any form. These are also known as country strips. They were thick and meaty with a bone in (Patti’s preference), but they also come boneless. Either way is just right seasoned with Briggs True Texas Seasoning and thickly basted with Briggs True Bourbon Bacon Barbeque Sauce and a “Kiss of Smoke”. So tender, and so Good!!!…
Our South of the Border Burnt Ends and Tips were a bit zippy. I nailed it! These were like a ZIPPY meat candy. Note: Ken’s idea of zippy is a true tongue scorcher. Depending on your heat level you may want to tone these down. Patti and Rat (our little dog) couldn't eat them. For me, off the hook and jam packed with all the…
Smoked Prime Rib Roast, we did 2 Prime Rib Roasts. We live in a senior’s community and we were able to have a few of the folks over to share dinner with us. They left smiling and happy and full. That makes us happy and thankful that we could add a little family and fellowship to their lives.
After a long week we wanted a simple date night dinner, but it had to be as good as it as easy. We cut some beautiful 2 inch boneless loin chops from a huge pork loin we got last week. Patti wrapped them with maple bacon, and seasoned them generously with Wyld Seasoning "Desert Dust" and off to the Green Mountain Grill for that "Kiss…

Reverse Seared Tomahawk Steaks for Date Night!!! These were so good and tender with a “Kiss of Smoke”. We let these hang out in the smoke at 150* (65c) for an hour before removing them and cranking up the heat! Then, about 12 minutes at 450* (232c) for these beautiful steaks. They were fork tender and bone gnawing good!!! We seasoned these with “Loubier…
Green Chile Stuffed Pork Loin w/ Creamy Chipotle Sauce came as a 4:30 a.m. conversation. We wanted pork loin for our date night, but couldn’t come up with a way we both wanted. We did very well. Easy with a stuffing that started with box rice and a creamy chipotle sauce made with three ingredients. We gave it a “Kiss of Smoke” . Patti and…
Brisket Machaca con Huevos, my mom made this for me as a kid. It has always been one of my favorites and have always loved “Big Beefy Burritos” because of her machaca. We used a few pounds of our smoked Tex-Mex brisket that we shredded and added onions, tomatoes, peppers, and eggs. Mom would have loved this one… Big, Tender and Juicy. Note: Machaca…
