Chick in Memphis Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Memphis Elite Wood Fire Grill/Smoker and with all of the features we rarely cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood burning stove, little lights, candles, lanterns…
Pork Tenderloin with Rosy Rhubarb Sauce We got a few pounds of gorgeous fresh rhubarb from the Murrieta Farmer’s Market and wanted to do something interesting and different, but wanted to do something not pie or preserves…this time. Pork tenderloin is good and easy anytime, so this was a winning combination. Smoked with Lumberjack’s new “Paris-Bordeaux Rosemary” wood pellets, Paris-Bordeaux Rosemary has a savory resinous…
Ground Pork Enchiladas Verde We were blessed to be given lots of fresh, beautiful, assorted peppers, cilantro and tomatoes from the Murrieta Farmer’s Market. The peppers weren’t hot but had lots and lots of flavor and looked so pretty with the different colors. Just for a change and that we’ve never seen it done before we used store bought already ground pork. Plus, it was…
London Broil with Bacon Gravy Nothing says huge beef flavor like a good London broil. On sale this week and Patti picked up a big thick one. A lot of folks have trouble with this cut and it comes out tough. But it is a simple cut to grill. Simply put: it needs to be grilled, “Hot and Fast”. We made bacon gravy to top…

http://youtu.be/eOT-2nykh_I?list=UUiQQgeeiljVzZFv966eI91Q Chipotle Bacon Bombs on a Stick Patti and I are still working on a few treats to serve “Off The Grill” for tailgating parties. These are a big hit at the Super Bowl parties also. With us, it has to be something smoked off the grill. A great start for anything we come up with. How about Chipotle Bacon Bombs on a Stick? We…
Teriyaki Sirloin Kabobs I was looking forward to date night this week. Always lots going on here and there is never enough time to get the things you want done. Seems for Ken “honey-do” lists are like recipes, just an outline! You’re lucky if you get a few of the things you need done in a day. It was one of those times. Patti and…
Caprese Stuffed Tomatoes for Two It was our date night and we wanted a side dish that was special, not the same old thing. But, still easy with lots of flavor. Ken loves Caprese salad and we love our Pacific Living Outdoor Oven and made full use of the smoker box. So, Patti made a side dish under the stars and didn’t have to heat…
http://youtu.be/9qT0rwlbyRc?list=UUiQQgeeiljVzZFv966eI91Q We have done a few Fattys now with the Southwestern influence and one with a Hawaiian twist. I have been thinking on doing another one but I wanted to be completely different than any we have done before. For those of you that don’t know what a Fatty is let me explain. It is the ultimate meat loaf. But, instead of the ground beef…
Smoked Spaghetti Squash Carbonara Style It’s summer squash season! One of favorites is spaghetti squash. It’s so versatile for any spaghetti recipe and has no carbs, so it’s healthy, easy and delicious. We get ours at the Murrieta Farmer’s Market because it’s “from the farmer” fresh and they’re happy to share recipes. We got this one from Engle Farms changing it just a bit because…
http://youtu.be/W3KB4aairZU?t=1s We both wanted pizza and take out is so yesterday now that we have our Pacific Living Pizza Oven. Of course, we couldn’t decide what kind, Patti wanted bacon cheeseburger and Ken wanted Philly cheese steak, so we had both. Being we can make hot, fresh pizza at home the combination of possibilities are endless. We started with a long loaf of French bread,…
Burnt Ends and Tips Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Green Mountain Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood burning stove, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy…
