Bacon Candy Bacon Candy! This stuff is CRAZY GOOD and will be ILLEGAL when the food police hear about it! For a special treat think about this. Bacon Candy is so simple to make, only 3 ingredients. Sweet, smoky and just melts in your mouth. Patti and I came to the conclusion that Bacon Candy is just plain Dangerous in a really delicious way. It…
Smoked Clod Roast We saw clod roast on sale this week. Never having done one, we wanted to give it a try. It is a lean cut of meat a little on the tough side. Low and slow is the way to go here. We did a garlic pepper crust and injected it with a 50/50 mix of Country Bob’s Sauce and cranberry juice. It…
Dove’s Chocolate Pork Medallions My friends Nate and Le Tonia are Dove Chocolatiers. Last week he sent me some of Dove’s BBQ seasoning, the Chocolate Fig Balsamic Vinaigrette, Sweet’N’Spicy Cocoa Rub and their Sweet’N’Smoky Chocolate BBQ Sauce. Patti and I both like our chocolate and Patti loves Dove’s high quality. So, we started thinking about this. My first thoughts were chocolate syrup on BBQ. Not…
Big Beefy Wet Burritos We had a silly thought of going out to dinner for Mexican food. Why ever would we do that when we do it so much more to our taste! Using our Zaycon Fresh ground beef we knew we’d make the best extra lean, meaty, top quality big beefy burritos. Filled with all the goodies we love including the carne asada seasoning…
Picnic “Fried” Chicken We love to go off into the woods for a romantic picnic. Of course, cold fried chicken and Patti’s famous potato salad is a must. Patti “fried” our chicken on our Louisiana Grill/Smoker because it cooked up crispy with the addition of a delicious smoky finish. She seasoned it just right with Swimmin’ in Smoke Chik Bait Seasoning. Colonel eat your heart…

Tailgating Stuffed Dover Sole Our friends Paul & Sally were traveling their way up the Pacific coast. The first thing that goes into their RV is their Green Mountain Grills/Smoker “Davy Crockett”. It’s perfect for tailgating with its small size and efficient temperature control they can grill, smoke or bake all their favorite meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The only problem was Sally was…
Grilled Chimichangas We love southwestern style food, all the heat, colors and flavors. Plus, we just enjoy the word chimichanga. (Say that fast 3 times) Lol. Patti found a package of a variety of coarse ground meats. So, we made chimichangas with pork, beef and chicken using Chef of the Future Southwestern Rub & Seasoning for medium heat and huge taste. We used some of…
Smoked Pork Southwest Egg Rolls Guest Chef Heather That’s not advice you will traditionally find in a fortune cookie but as a card carrying member of the ‘smoke your own meat’ fan club, I promise you that you will never hear a truer statement. In many families the man is the primary carnivore and the one for playing with large instruments of fire. In this…
Spinach & Blue Cheese Stuffed Pork Patti found a huge, (13lb.) extra lean pork loin on sale; we named it “porkenstein”. Ken cut it into three pieces and this is our first recipe with this hunk. The strong flavor of the blue cheese permeated the pork and the fresh spinach added color and hid a nice healthy veggie. Just for fun we used our new…
O’Brien’s Corned Beef Casserole We love big dinners with friends. For this St. Patrick’s Day Patti made three corned beefs, one just for the leftovers for this casserole. This is one of our “Love the Second Time Around” recipes. Most of it can be made ahead of time and makes a great brunch as well as dinner. Using our Pacific Living Outdoor Oven makes it…
Peach Habanero Chicken Breasts We love chicken; it’s so versatile and has very little fat. Ken found a source for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are all natural, huge and especially delicious. We ordered their 40lb. box and have lots and lots of recipe plans for these beauties. The name of the company is Zaycon Foods and we’re proud and happy to be featuring these…
