We are topping burgers and steaks with them and filling the ring with other goodies like sautéed mushrooms. Next week we are doing Filet Mignon steaks and topping them with Bacon Onion Rings and filling them with blue…
Pork Loin Chops with Creamy Mushroom Sauce, we found some nice pork loin chops. We had all the things we needed to make a creamy, delicious mushroom sauce and the addition of Chef of the Future Seasoning was just the perfect seasoning for the chops. Gave them a "Kiss of Smoke" then served with a creamy mushroom sauce and mashed potatoes…you’ll want to try…
Piggy Pops!!! Oh Man These are GOOD! I just wish we had thought of these when we were cooking at the Farmer’s Market. I know we would have sold out of these every week!!! Patti made a lemon pepper sauce that was an awesome “Dipping” sauce and was a great marinade. We took some chops, cut them in half and put them on lollipop sticks…
Pepper Crusted Rib Roast was Ken’s idea of a Father’s Day treat and our furry kids agreed. Patti ordered a 4-bone 8 ½ pound rib roast from Texas Steak Warehouse. So, we all knew it would be tender, juicy and delicious. We seasoned it with a thick pepper crust, and we served it with "Ken’s Chuckwagon Baked Beans". A celebration dinner that would be…
Fabulous Chicken Fajitas, Ken wanted fajitas and Patti had some chicken breasts that were a pound each a for our date night. We added all our favorite goodies. The red pepper chili powder is a pungent, hot chili powder with a strong bite and the flavor intensifies as it is cooked. I love the Southwestern flair it adds to all of your grilling. But,…

Maple Canadian Bacon, our new love is makin’ 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. A beautiful, extra lean Maple Canadian bacon. There is something special about making your own bacon with your favorite flavor profile. It’s Canadian Bacon Candy…

We will be enjoying shredded roast beef sandwiches and tacos this…
Dove’s Chocolate Chipotle Tri Tip. How good does a Dove’s Chocolate anything sound? Dove’s Chocolate Chipotle Tri Tip was out of the ball park good. The Dove’s cocoa rub along with some chipotle chili powder and then a garlic pepper crust wasn’t like anything I have ever experienced! When the taste of beef layered with all the flavors of the grill is what you…

These St. Louis Style ribs are tender, juicy and beautiful just to look at, smells wonderful, not to mention absolutely…
