Pork Tenderloin with Rosy Rhubarb Sauce We got a few pounds of gorgeous fresh rhubarb from the Murrieta Farmer’s Market and wanted to do something interesting and different, but wanted to do something not pie or preserves…this time. Pork tenderloin is good and easy anytime, so this was a winning combination. Smoked with Lumberjack’s new “Paris-Bordeaux Rosemary” wood pellets, Paris-Bordeaux Rosemary has a savory resinous…
London Broil with Bacon Gravy Nothing says huge beef flavor like a good London broil. On sale this week and Patti picked up a big thick one. A lot of folks have trouble with this cut and it comes out tough. But it is a simple cut to grill. Simply put: it needs to be grilled, “Hot and Fast”. We made bacon gravy to top…
Smoked Spaghetti Squash Carbonara Style It’s summer squash season! One of favorites is spaghetti squash. It’s so versatile for any spaghetti recipe and has no carbs, so it’s healthy, easy and delicious. We get ours at the Murrieta Farmer’s Market because it’s “from the farmer” fresh and they’re happy to share recipes. We got this one from Engle Farms changing it just a bit because…
Coffee Rubbed Chuck Roast We have done a few big chuck roasts now, we think they are great. I am thinking about retiring my crock pot. What I like most about doing these big roasts is that someone always has them on sale. We made roast beef burgers, BBQ beef sandwiches and stringed beef burritos all week. Patti likes to put a piece of the…
Hotlink Cornbread Skillet It’s football season! Patti and friends love the game; Ken and friends love the snacks. We all root for Dallas. In their honor we fixed a southwestern cornbread skillet starting with a simple cornbread mix, adding lots of spicy goodies and smoked/grilled it in a large Lodge cast iron skillet on our Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker. It was delicious and long gone…
Mango Madness Yellowfin Tuna Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood burning stove, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a…

Review Louisiana’s New Cold Smoker I have been playing with my new Louisiana Cold Smoke Sidebox. It is a clean addition to any of the LG and Country Smoker Series of Louisiana Grills/Smokers. I have used it 4 or 5 times to cold smoke rib tips for a nice smoky flavor that I then finish off in the crock pot for other smokey dishes. We…

Pizza Fatty We have done a few now with the Southwestern influence and one with a Hawaiian twist. I have been thinking on doing another one but I wanted to be completely different than any we have done before. For those of you that don’t know what a Fatty is let me explain. It is the ultimate meat loaf. But, instead of the ground beef…
