Lemon Dill Grilled Salmon Lemon Dill Grilled Salmon, it was 90 degrees here today so a light fish dinner was definitely on the menu. Patti made a simple sauce with fresh lemons and fresh dill from the Murrieta Farmer’s Market. She seasoned it with Green Mountain Roasted Garlic Chipotle Seasoning Blend which just added to the bright, fresh taste of the salmon. This seasoning rub…
Western Bacon Cheese Burger Pizza Our Western Bacon Cheese Burger Pizza was another perfect marriage because one of us wanted pizza and the other had to have a western bacon cheeseburger. Patti really put the cheese in cheeseburger with a full pound of shredded Mozzarella cheese added to the two pounds of lean ground beef. Ken likes his bacon cheeseburgers with BBQ sauce so we…
Horseradish Sauce Horseradish Sauce started because Patti’s good pal gave her a jar of horseradish. We were having one of Ken’s reverse sear 2” sirloins and we had an “aha” moment. We’ve been to lots of steak places and theirs were served with horseradish sauce. So, we made up some of our own! It was quick and easy and went perfect with our 2” sirloin.…
P B & J Burger P.B. & J. Burger… Think about a thick, juicy burger with a square of bacon, smothered with a peanut jalapeno sauce, then topped with cheese. Oh dang, those are some very nice thoughts we’ve been having all day. We love our Char-Griller’d burgers here and are always trying new flavor combinations. The one folks complain about the most until they…
Spatchcock Chicken We love grilled chicken; thinking a Spatchcock Chicken would be good, easy and flavorful tonight. It was simple enough for a weeknight dinner and pretty enough for company. Spatchcock Chicken is simple and easy to do on the Char-Griller Akorn Kamado Grill. As an added treat we used Chef of the Future Floribbean Rub and Seasoning with some of Lumberjack’s new “Paris-Bordeaux Rosemary”…
Gorgonzola Stuffed Rib Steaks Reverse Seared Gorgonzola Stuffed Rib Steaks Reverse Seared, it’s a sweetheart’s weekend. We combined our date night, Rat dog’s birthday and Valentine’s Day. So, we had to do a recipe that shouted love. And at our house nothing says love like a big, thick steak. Juan cut us a few 2” thick rib steaks and we stuffed them with Gorgonzola cheese,…
His & Hers Shredded Beef Nachos We both wanted nachos for dinner made with our shredded beef chuck roast. Ken wanted hot and spicy, Patti wanted mild. So, for him we used our cold smoked pepper jack cheese and hot salsa and for her we used Colby jack and mild salsa. The meat was marinated overnight in Mojo Criollo Spanish marinade and minced garlic. Then,…
Sausage Lasagna Alfredo Sausage Lasagna Alfredo was created when a friend wanted a lasagna recipe without the same old red sauce. Patti happened to have a few jars of garlic Alfredo on hand making for a delicious idea. Diced tomatoes with chilies and frozen spinach made it colorful and a great way to sneak in veggies. If you, for whatever reason, want it meatless omit…
Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chick Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chick, we love anything where bacon is involved…even Ken’s bacon candy. So, when we got some of Zaycon Fresh all natural boneless, skinless chicken breasts, we thought to put them together would be another awesome marriage Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chick. The whole Zaycon Fresh chicken breast was about three pounds, so we cut it in half, stuffed it,…
Texas Mustard Glazed Ham Texas Mustard Glazed Ham we had an 11lb. Zaycon Foods ham “just” a lean delicious ham… No bones, added water, chemicals or fillers, no gluten or MSG. The mustard glaze was Brigg’s True Texas Mustard sauce. We slow smoked it for 2 hours with Pacific Pellet Mountain Maple and added a “Kiss of Smoke” with a smoke tube packed with some…
Smoked Sausage Stuffed Portobello’s Patti came up with these little jewels. Toss these guys on the smoker and step back. They’re great snacks, sides or appetizers. I want a bucket of these . Great for Tailgaters too! To add a little bit to this I used some of Pacific Pellet Gourmet BBQ Pellet Texas Pecan adding a nice smoky Nutty flavor to our cook. Very…
Barbequed Turkey Barbequed Turkey we’ve done turkey in dozens of ways and tonight we wanted to do simple and simply delicious. We had a special friend and neighbor join us for our feast and we all liked different parts of the bird. So, Ken cut it into pieces like you would a chicken. We slow smoked our turkey for 3 hours at 225 degrees (107c)…
