Tailgater Shredded Beef Tacos Tailgater Shredded Beef Tacos, friends of ours are going to the “big game”. They love football and their perfect to go grill for tailgating and camp cooking is the Green Mountain Grill Davy Crockett. It smokes and grills great and the handles become the legs. Being Ken made his awesome 16lb. chuck roast they wanted instructions to make simple tacos that…
Cold Smoked Cheese Cold Smoked Cheese, we love smoked cheese and we use it in our recipes to add a whole new layer of flavor. Things like Mac and Cheese, Stuffed meatloaf and burgers are crazy good picking up the smoky flavors of the grill. Not even talking about sauces and dips. Cold smoking cheese is so easy to do. Today we used our Pacific…
Extra Cheesy Mac & Cheese Extra Cheesy Mac & Cheese, Ken loves mac & cheese as long as it’s extra cheesy. He calls it the ooey gooey factor. Plus, our cold smoked cheese makes it even better. Patti invited her lovely friend Harriett over for lunch to try this new recipe. To make it a little fun she made it with wagon wheel shaped pasta…
Southwestern Mac & Cheese Southwestern Mac & Cheese, we have to laugh, of all the recipes we get asked for from gourmet to down home, what we get the most requests for is macaroni and cheese. Our date night was coming up so I asked Ken what he was in the mood for thinking he would say steak or ribs. Nope, he wanted a creamy…
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,…
Any Day Ham with Orange Apricot Glaze Any Day Ham with Orange Apricot Glaze, We get a lot of requests for holiday recipes. But, why wait for a special reason to have something delicious? Our friend Don from the Murrieta Farmer’s Market gave us some juicy blood oranges and we definitely put them to good use. The markets here have already had hams on sale…
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…
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…
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…
Easy BBQ Chicken Pizza I have wanted BBQ Chicken pizza for some time now thinking about it. We haven’t had one in over a year now. So, we BBQed an extra chicken at the Murrieta Farmer’s Market just for our pizza. But, you don’t have to make your own. For a time saver meal you can use leftovers you may have or buy one already…
Cranberry Apple Pork Loin We love our friends and fans and had to laugh because we got our first request this week for a Christmas dinner idea. Our Cranberry Apple Pork Loin happily was just what they were looking for. Every month Ken buys a giant boneless pork loin and we come up with new and different recipes for chops and roasts, etc. Patti’s sauce…
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…
