Wings Anyone Ken‘s best buddy, Tony the sailor man, came to visit for the holidays and had to have chicken wings to go with lots of football viewing. Ken found some new extra zippy sauces he loves and Patti wanted more of a mustard based sauce. Patti bought 5lbs. of chicken wings and we all had plenty that were sauced just right. Ken & Tony…
Stuffed Double Cheese Bacon Burgers Ken made his amazing cold smoked cheese again and before Patti ate it all for snacks we decided to use some for recipes. We had been talking about stuffed burgers for awhile and these were so good. Patti stuffed them with our cold smoked mozzarella, then topped the burgers with bacon squares and smoked cheddar. Perfect. There aren’t a lot…
Steak & Egg Frittata One of Ken’s favorite meals is sirloin steak; one of Patti’s is playing with leftovers. So, we made two big sirloins for date night. The next day we had friends coming for brunch and what’s better than steak and eggs? A big cast iron skillet of steak and eggs smoked to perfection, seasoned just right with our Cattleman’s Grill Steakhouse Seasoning…
https://youtu.be/CxZJzCwULcY Stuffed Burger Dogs Video It’s the time of year for burgers and hot dogs! Hence the burger dog, but no wieners were harmed in this recipe. Patti wrapped her Chef Of The Future seasoned hamburger around a 2oz. log of extra sharp cheddar cheese, rolled it into a hot dog shape and served it on hot dog buns with our favorite hot dog condiments…which…
Twice Baked Garlic Potatoes We love twice baked potatoes because there’s so much you can stuff them with, leftover meat, veggies or whatever. There lots of goodies for stuffing so we have lots of opportunities. Patti decided to use a garlic sauce in the potatoes and loved it. She used it instead of the usual butter, sour cream and milk. It worked really well. They’ll…
Double Sausage Pizza Ken’s friend David came over so Ken could help him fix his computer. To thank him he wanted to treat us to take out pizza. Oh no, my friend, Patti can make a sausage pizza to make shop owners cry. She uses lots of our favorite sausage and Ken’s smoked cheeses, plus Chef of the Future Floribbean Rub & Seasoning. An easy…
Carne Asada Burrito “Ready to Roll” Tonight was the first night after the rains totaled our patio roof that we could get back outside. We didn’t need one, but I built a fire anyway. I call it “Fire for Effect”. And Patti’s tiny and always cold. I found citrus marinated carne asada at the Mexican market on sale and I could not resist. With the…
Raspberry Teriyaki Country Ribs We love ribs, all kinds of ribs. We’ve never met a cut we didn’t like. These pork country ribs were on sale so we bought a lot. We wanted them for our date night, but we had a lot of errands to do, so we marinated them all day in a sweet and spicy marinade Patti came up with before we…
Smoky Pork Tenderloin Chops A girlfriend of Patti’s makes her pork chops by covering them with bottled Italian salad dressing and baking them. Patti makes her own oil & vinegar salad dressing. So, we made our chops with our homemade version to do proper justice to the moist and tender Zaycon Fresh bacon wrapped pork tenderloins. It was so easy to marinate them all day…
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.…
South of the Border Fatty We had 4 couples and a few stray friends from our Church over for dinner. I had it all planned out. We would do 8 styles of ribs, plated real nice with a little card that explained what kind of rub and the style I was trying to create. Well, that didn’t work. We had so many ribs that I…
Smoked Clod Roast We saw clod roast on sale this week. Never having done one, we wanted to give it a try. It is a lean cut of meat a little on the tough side. Low and slow is the way to go here. We did a garlic pepper crust and injected it with a 50/50 mix of Country Bob’s Sauce and cranberry juice. It…
