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…

Lemon Pepper Chicken Legs We’re having a triple digit summer (we seemed to have missed winter completely) so Ken wanted to go to our favorite wooded spot for a picnic. Patti made extra Lemon Pepper Chicken Legs so we would have a great picnic dish. There are lots of lemon pepper powders full of salt on the market, but this seasoning/grilling sauce had little or…
Cheesy Chili Brats and Tots Friends of ours are having a birthday party for their little boy and wanted something yummy, but inexpensive. So, Patti came up with Cheesy Chili Brats and Tots because we know he can happily live on hot dogs. So we combined summer sausage links with potato nuggets, canned chili and cheese. You can also use brats, hot links or your…
A Raspberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce is hard to find, we make our own... I like a little ZING to my sauce and some folks call this sauce hot and it is a bit warm if you taste it with a spoon. But after cooking on the grill it really mellows out. So I guess you need to go by your own taste. Me, I like…
Smoked Pastrami Pin Wheel We love pastrami sandwiches with hot mustard, cheese and dill pickles. Happily corned beef has been on sale and smoked corned beef is pastrami! To make it the perfect sandwich roll size we butterflied the corned beef, smeared it inside with mustard, layered on slices of Swiss cheese and rolled it up, generously sprinkling inside and out with Legg’s BBQ Seasoning.…
Salsa Verde Burgers We both had to have Ken’s big beefy burgers. With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner Patti suggested doing something green. Ken wanted something south western. We came up with a delicious compromise. Ken topped ½ lb. burgers with grilled jalapenos and green salsa. Patti likes the salsa verde because it’s tangy but not hot. Ken added to the southwestern theme with…
Guest Chef G's Radicchio Celery Slaw While walking through the grocery produce section, pondering what to prepare for the evening, I suddenly had a taste for a tangy coleslaw. But I really didn't want just a basic cabbage variety. So when I spotted the radicchio, I was inspired. Radicchio is an Italian salad plant related to chicory. The distinctive plant grows in a rich maroon…
Lemon Pepper Chicken Kabobs After a long weekend we wanted something light, but still healthy with lots of flavor. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are so versatile we use them for lots of recipes. We added veggies for healthy color and Louisiana Lemon Pepper seasoning to add just the right amount of spice. For our sides we brightened up plain white rice by cooking it with…

Things like Mac and Cheese, Stuffed meatloaf, lasagna and burgers are crazy good picking up the smoky flavors of the grill. Not even talking about sauces and dips. I have been thinking…
Cold Smoked Cheese We love Cold Smoked Cheese and we use it in our recipes to add a whole new layer of flavor. Things like Mac and Cheese, Stuffed meatloaf, lasagna and burgers are crazy good picking up the smoky flavors of the grill. Not even talking about sauces and dips. I have been thinking what it would be like to add a good rub…
Parmesan Crusted Chicken Drumsticks We’ve been getting requests for kid friendly tailgating food. Patti thought chicken drumsticks because they’re easy to prepare and come with a handle for the little ones. Fried chicken is always good, but Patti likes to Pacific Living Oven “fry” it so it’s a little healthier than soaking it in oil. To make it extra tasty we put lots of grated…
