Lemon Ginger Chicken Strips Ken wanted teriyaki chicken strips, Patti promised to do it better, and she did, without all the sodium of bottled teriyaki sauce. She had all the help she needed with Zaycon Fresh chicken breasts (this one chicken breast was over 2lbs.) cut into strips, and a marinade including Big Dick’s “Big Kahuna” Seasoning and Country Bob’s Honey Habanero All Purpose Sauce.…

We don’t fry, but with our Pacific…

"UNSCRIPTED" STUFFED ACORN SQUASH A Guest Chef G Recipe Why unscripted? Because I improvised the stuffing...like a #BOSS! It's stuffed with a mixture of ground beef, cheeses, sautéed veggies, and shaved almonds. It might look "fancy", but it's nothing less than Simple Goodness. My original intent was to make a nice warm soup served in an acorn squash bowl on a cold sub-zero day in…
Ooey Gooey Mac & Cheese It’s been rainy and cold here. Comfort food was a must. Ken wanted macaroni and cheese, but it had to be extra cheesy with a crunchy topping. Patti said no problem and added bacon and broccoli to make it tastier and a bit healthy. Our Green Mountain Grill/Smoker added extra flavor along with their Green Mountain “Sizzle Seasoning Blend”. Perfect!…

Pineapple Stuffed Chicken We enjoy fresh pineapple and a friend gave us 3 of them last week. Thinking grilled pineapple is a real treat we took it a step farther. We stuffed a chicken with pineapple wedges and smoked them for an hour before barbequing them. A generous dusting with GMG’s Dry Rub “Roasted Garlic & Chipotle” seasoning blend, then topping it with Grandville’s Pineapple…
Holiday Brunch Frittata We always have friends and neighbors over for dinner for the holidays and usually there’s a few who stay over. We try to always cook brunch like this frittata, which is really just a crustless quiche. Delicious using leftover smoked ham, but if you have leftover smoked turkey and/or veggies add them to the mix for more layers of flavors and make…
Mango Curry Pork Chops Being our main ingredient has always been imagination, we wanted to try an unusual combination for simple pork chops. Ken loves the spice of curry and Patti prefers a bit of sweetness in her marinade. So, we got this idea using Louisiana’s Mango Magic Seasoning…with the added heat of curry. Slow smoking with the marinade worked deliciously. Patti and I have…
