Turkey, Smoked and Brined, we wanted to do something a little different with our bird so we did a savory brine. We have turkey recipes on our web site and this is a nice one. We have Spatchcocked them, wrapped them in bacon, dusted them with chipotle and smoked every one of them. Talking with folks and reading a bit I thought I would try…
Ham Tangerine Honey Glaze, we have lots of fruit trees and Ken especially loves the tangerines. So, Patti juiced about 4 cups worth for our ham. To make it extra special and festive we served it with fresh steamed green beans tossed with a tablespoon of white truffle oil and some grated Parmesan cheese. Plus, long grain and wild rice with a few handfuls of…
Honey Rubbed Smoked Turkey because we love the flavor of turkey with a gentle “Kiss of Smoke”. Turkeys being on sale we got a few of them to smoke just for sandwiches and casseroles. Think about “Honey Rubbed Smoked Turkey sandwiches”, so good… I did a double smoke by cold smoking it first for 2 hours with Smoke Daddy’s “Cold Smoke Generator” then bring…
Simple Spatchcocked Smoked Turkey with a nice “Kiss of Smoke” was the perfect dinner for a hot day. Let me explain: It’s been triple digit hot here so slow smoking a turkey was a delicious idea for cold sandwiches and future casseroles. We used three simple ingredients and Green Mountain Apple pellets for full flavored, no fuss, no heating up the kitchen turkey! Patti…
Lotta Cheese Cheese Burger, we got a complaint from some friends that when they go out for burgers the meat is paper thin and the cheese, if you can find any, is tasteless. We had no choice but to say “See you tomorrow, come hungry!” Everyone was happily stuffed and knew they were eating a cheese burger. They may be back again tomorrow. Not only…
Lemon Pepper Trout went fishing and came home with some nice trout. My first thought was to fire up the grill. Stuff them with lemon and dill then give them a “Kiss of Smoke” because they are a real treat. Grilled trout is so tender the meat just flakes apart and the bones just lift out in one piece. Patti and I have set…
Honey Pepper Back Strap Bacon, our new love is makin’ bacon. There is something special about making your own bacon. It’s very easy to do and better than any store-bought bacon we’ve ever had. That said there is no such thing as “Bad” bacon, just some is better than others. We ordered some Awesome pork loins from Texas Steak Warehouse, tender and juicy. Love…
Slow Smoked Carnitas, we love anything you can wrap in a tortilla and when Juan Carlos showed us some awesome pork for .99 a pound. A dream is born… Slow Smoked Carnitas with a citrus kiss. We bought 20 pounds of Juan’s pork and used about 5 in our Slow Smoked Carnitas that we smoked for about 5 hours. It was all I could…
Grilled Trout Amandine! I went fishing last week and came home with some nice fish. My first thought was to fire up the grill. Stuff them with lemon and herbs then give them a “Kiss of Smoke” because they are a real treat. Grilled trout are so tender the meat just flakes apart and the bones just lift out in one piece. Patti and…
Garlic Lovers Burger are great for folks that love garlic, They are and big, tasty burgers. We chopped some of our smoked garlic and added to the meat along with our Date Night Doins Steak Seasoning and topped with Ken’s awesome Smoked Garlic Sauce and Garlic cheese. Then a splash of Ken's Garlic Mayo. We were going to call it the garlic, garlic, garlic,…
Buffalo Chicken Tenders make a really delicious tailgating or camping meal or snack. Easy to make with only 2 ingredients! We marinated 5 pounds of chicken tenders in “Frank’s Garlic Wing Sauce” so there was no heat just flavor with a nice “Kiss of Smoke”. We normally make our own buffalo sauce but we wanted to keep this one tailgating easy. Patti and I…
Wild Wings Dipping Sauce for our Wings of Fire. Ken loves to make his chicken wings of fire on our Green Mountain Grill/Smoker. Patti makes a cool, creamy sauce to cut the heat, the perfect complement. Also, a great dip for raw veggies or shrimp cocktail. Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually…
