Apricot Mustard Glazed Lamb Apricot Mustard Glazed Lamb, we had some friends drop by at the last minute knowing they would be welcomed and the food would be great. We love lamb fixed all kinds of ways and all different cuts. Patti had a semi-boneless leg of lamb waiting to be grilled on our Green Mountain Jim Bowie Grill/Smoker. The Jim Bowie is a great…
Pastrami Subs Go Tailgating Pastrami Subs Go Tailgating, we love the pepper crust and they were so tender and juicy. Who says that camp cooking is boring? We took a corned beef brisket and did a heavy pepper crust then smoked it for 6 hours. When you smoke corned beef you’re making Pastrami and it’s good just on your plate or thin sliced for subs.…
Shredded Beef Nachos Shredded Beef Nachos for movie night at the Fisher’s and we wanted a meaty treat. Of course, lots of beef made it hearty and our Pacific Living Outdoor Oven made it easy and guaranteed delicious. When you cook on your Pacific Living Outdoor Oven you know it will come out just right because it retains the temperature throughout your cooking and it…
Roast Beef Slow Smoked Six hours in the Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker. Look at those smoke rings. Patti couldn’t believe that after smoking something for 6 hours it could be so tender and juicy with big, rich smoky beef flavor. Patti served it up with bacon garlic gravy and her “Fiesta Broccoli Bake”. Recipe Link; http://datenightdoins.com/roast-beef-slow-smoked/ http://youtu.be/ooxEkrSJjYw
Cranberry Teriyaki Chicken We wanted something fun and festive, so Cranberry Teriyaki Chicken fit the bill. A really easy marinade made with just three ingredients. The recipe makes plenty so Ken could have several chicken breasts and Patti could have her favorite chicken legs. Chef of the Future Coconut Curry seasoning added another delicious layer of sweet and savory flavor. I’m glad we made a…
Cilantro Sauce Cilantro Sauce is one of our favorites. It can be cool and refreshing or straight from the gates of hell. It’s a delicious, easy and beautiful sauce. In researching Cilantro Sauces around the world I found that almost every family has their own recipe for this all purpose sauce. I found that there is no right or wrong way to make it. Make…
Smoky Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf How about a Smoky Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf when the days are drizzly and cold we need comfort food and nothing says comfort like a big beefy meatloaf. And nothing says ground beef that’s good enough for us than Zaycon ground beef. It’s extra lean 93/7, grass fed and fresh, never frozen, with no chemicals or additives. You can really taste the…
Grilled Salmon with Pesto Cream Grilled Salmon with Pesto Cream, ever have one of those days when you’re so busy the day just gets away from you and then it’s dinnertime? Well, today was one of ours, so we stopped at the market to see what we could just toss together for a quick meal and we accidentally came up with a healthy gourmet…
https://youtu.be/a-fI7n7eqJM How to Trim a Brisket-Butcher Style After 34 years of running meat markets, sausage counters, selling wholesale, and running a custom meat processing plant, I started cooking in our local BBQ competitions. From my very first contest I used an injection that I had developed for our meat shop. Over the next few years I tweaked the ingredients to make it more user friendly for…
Spinach Stuffed Brie en Croute Spinach Stuffed Brie en Croute, we wanted to start our date night with something special and “test drive” a recipe for our Easter dinner. This was perfect. The brie was stuffed with fresh spinach (thank you Murrieta Farmer’s Market) maple bacon and just a bit of garlic wrapped in crescent roll dough. Very rich, creamy and easy. Ken wanted it…
Honey Braised Short Ribs Honey Braised Short Ribs on our Louisiana Pellet Grill. It’s a great grill in hot weather because we can put something on to smoke low and slow and set it then go inside and forget it. We smoked these Honey Braised Short Ribs for five hours with a little garlic. Super easy to do and so tender teeth were optional. The…
Garlicky Faux Fried Chicken Legs We love fried chicken, but not drowned in oil. So we made Garlicky Faux Fried Chicken Legs baked with the help of our Pacific Living Outdoor Oven. Instead of the usual egg wash Patti added some of our smoked garlic grilling sauce to the beaten egg. Fantastic, plus the mayonnaise in the sauce helped make the breading extra crispy. As…
