Plus, it was super easy to fit it all on our Sawtooth Pellet Grill using the second shelf. Patti made a simple marinade and grilled all six corned beefs in foil pans for quick clean up. Patti gave it a nice…

They were easy, quick and with a fun glaze that added tons of flavor. A “Kiss of Smoke” Northwest Apple made it extra special. This is great recipe for friends, camping and tailgating. Patti and I have set one night a week…

With a "Kiss of Smoke" using Mountain Maple pellets. Served with either…
Honey Glazed Pork Loin Honey Glazed Pork Loin was a very moist and tender smoked pork loin with a hint of sweet and savory at the same time. It was a great dinner, but later the sandwiches with ½ inch slices of pork were crazy good!!! We brined it the day before and then injected it with Butcher BBQ Pork Injection. Then seasoned with Butcher…
Blue Lamb Burgers Blue Lamb Burgers, our friend Nancy doesn’t eat beef. So, we suggested the “other red meat”. She’d never had lamb so she was pleasantly surprised by how lean it was and that the flavor was much stronger than beef, too. We added her favorite blue cheese and served them medium rare. Ken loved making them because he got to use his new…

Sausage Lasagna Alfredo Sausage Lasagna Alfredo was created when a friend wanted a lasagna recipe without the same old red sauce.

If you, for whatever reason, want it meatless omit…
