Bacon Cheese Garlic Bread, We were invited to a potluck. We offered to bring garlic bread. We thought we would test a new recipe we were working on. “Bacon Cheese Garlic Bread”, oh yeah we rocked this. This was quick, easy and ooey gooey great. Jam packed with crumbled bacon, two kinds of cheese and buttery garlic… There were no leftovers, darn. The…
Maple Brined Turkey, the Holidays are right around the corner! For us it means getting together with great friends and wonderful food. We brined this girl in Ken’s famous maple brine and then smoked it until it was done to perfection. This bird was delicious, tender and juicy with a “Kiss” of smoky maple in every bite. Patti and I have set one night…
Armadillo Eggs, Wake Up your Taste Buds” with a stuffed jalapeno, wrapped in a ¼ pound of spicy sausage. We have made 3 different recipes until we came up with one that is just plain “Over The Top”. These are not for the faint of heart, just a bit Zippy! We have been eating the “Crash and Burn” recipe eggs ALL WEEK. Nice work if…
Apple Chipotle Glazed Ham Apple Chipotle Glazed Ham, just three ingredients. But, oh what great ingredients! We cut an 11lb. Zaycon Fresh ham in half. Then we made a glaze with just apple jelly and Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce in Apple Chipotle providing all the seasoning we needed for a delicious main course. Patti and I have set one night a week just for…

Rainy Day Chicken Fried Steak, tonight we had to cook inside. I know it never rains in California. But, we got so much rain our patio roof collapsed. It sounded like an artillery round going off. All that water almost washed the fish out of their pond. We have wanted to do some country fried steak and here was our chance to do a…
Curried Chicken Breasts, Ken loves curry, any kind of curry. Patti always stocks up on different cuts of chicken when it’s on sale. Voila, a match made delicious. Patti served it with brown rice made with coconut milk instead of broth or water with a "Kiss of Smoke". Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night.…
Chicken Tacos, I told Patti that I wanting chicken this week. Well she found it on sale and came home with a lot of chicken. I wanted to do something along the lines of soft chicken tacos. Patti got me a nice 6 pounder that I smoked in a Mole sauce with a few handfuls of peppers. Patti and I have set one night a…
Country Ribs Texas Style, we love ribs in any form. These are also known as country strips. They were thick and meaty with a bone in (Patti’s preference), but they also come boneless. Either way is just right seasoned with Briggs True Texas Seasoning and thickly basted with Briggs True Bourbon Bacon Barbeque Sauce and a “Kiss of Smoke”. So tender, and so Good!!!…

South of the Border Crustless Pizza! I love just about anything “South of the Border”!! Our crustless pizza was packed with a mound of Spicy Chorizo sausage, jalapenos, smoked garlic and smothered with our smoked Pepper Jack Cheese. Low carb and huge flavor. More than just good, it is a supper easy camp or tailgating dish to do on the Green Mountain Davey Crockett…
Our South of the Border Burnt Ends and Tips were a bit zippy. I nailed it! These were like a ZIPPY meat candy. Note: Ken’s idea of zippy is a true tongue scorcher. Depending on your heat level you may want to tone these down. Patti and Rat (our little dog) couldn't eat them. For me, off the hook and jam packed with all the…
