Pepper Mustard Grilling Sauce Pepper Mustard Grilling Sauce adds a layer of flavor to ribs, pork butt and beef. And it helps hold your seasoning on for BBQ or smoking and it can double as an serving sauce. We love beef. Tri tip is a very tender cut of beef and full of rich beefy flavor, but to give it a little more zest Patti…
Pork Loin with Bacon Gravy We found a neat old piece of cast iron last week at a yard sale. Now it’s Ken’s newest favorite cast iron roaster. So Patti got me a whole pork loin that I cut down to fit and tossed in some red potato halves for our side. Then she made me some bacon gravy to top it off… With the…
Pecan Crusted Chicken Tenders This recipe was especially tasty and fun to make. Patti cut one of Zaycon Fresh chicken breasts into ½” strips. Using Zaycon Fresh chicken breasts we knew it would be tender and full of flavor…if we didn’t have Zaycon Fresh we would have just called them chicken strips. You can really taste the difference. Plus, we got to use Ken’s Mom’s…
Pretzel Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops We don’t eat much fried food, but oven fried pork chops sounded good. Patti took it a few steps further. Instead of a fry pan we used our Green Mountain Grill. Instead of plain old bread crumbs Patti crushed hard pretzels mixed with parmesan cheese and with Green Mountain Grills Pork Seasoning. Perfect. Patti and I have set one night…
Smokin’ Nuts We wanted a healthy snack, at least healthier than our usual. Our favorite market had bulk nuts on sale and using some of our favorite seasonings made them yummy and a lot cheaper than already smoked seasoned nuts. Plus, we could pick our favorite mix of nuts and seasonings. I was talking with Josh Cary of All Things BBQ and this is a…
Twisted Piggy Burnt Ends Last week I was talking with Jim Olson, one of my Facebook friends, about our “Poor Man’s Burnt Ends”. He said that he has used pork strips as another cheap alternative to brisket. Well, that got me to thinking and we all know that is a painful process to say the least. So, thinking on it for a few days I…
Lemon Pepper Chicken Kabobs After a long weekend we wanted something light, but still healthy with lots of flavor. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are so versatile we use them for lots of recipes. We added veggies for healthy color and Louisiana Lemon Pepper seasoning to add just the right amount of spice. For our sides we brightened up plain white rice by cooking it with…

Things like Mac and Cheese, Stuffed meatloaf, lasagna and burgers are crazy good picking up the smoky flavors of the grill. Not even talking about sauces and dips. I have been thinking…
Caribbean Spice Chicken We made an easy three ingredient Spatchcock chicken…including the chicken. Simple, tasty and a little spicy thanks to Ken’s favorite Chef of the Future Floribbean seasoning sprinkled generously over the top and bottom of our spatch cocked chicken and during the last ten minutes Patti brushed on All Spice Café’s Caribbean Spice Sauce. The All Spice Café’s Caribbean Spice Sauce is not…
https://youtu.be/tnG89u_TumY Butter Pecan Stuffed Texas Pork Chop Video Ken wanted a stuffed pork chop…a big one. So Patti bought one aka bone-in pork loin roast at almost 6 lbs. Now that’s a pork chop! Being this was a manly sized pork chop power tools were required. Ken used a drill to make a whole for Patti’s butter pecan stuffing. Then, a butter pecan glaze with…
Easy & Elegant Chicken Alfredo Easy & Elegant Chicken Alfredo, we love chicken not just because the price is always right and there’s so many great ways to fix it. Next week we’re having some very special friends over for dinner. We always enjoy having Jim & Debbie over because they always love what we fix. Patti wanted to fix something really easy and a…
Marsala Pork with Sautéed Mushrooms Ken’s butcher buddy Juan Carlos showed us some beautiful 2” thick pork chops at a great price, 99 cents a pound. Of course we had to get some (20 pounds). They cooked up tender and delicious and extra easy in our Pacific Living Outdoor Oven using the smoke box. To make these beauties extra special Patti made a mushroom wine…
