NUTAPENOS A game day Must!!! Patti’s best girlfriend, Peggy just loves our different stuffed jalapenos, especially our “rattlesnake eggs” and "armadillo eggs”. Over lunch last week she suggested, knowing how much Ken loves peanut butter, to just stuff some in a jalapeno. So, Nutapenos were born and it’s easier to say than peanut butter poppers. Wrapped with Zaycon Fresh bacon they made a fun and…
Red, White & Blue Potato Salad lets you declare your independence from boring potato salad. We used red potatoes and red onion, blue cheese and blue cheese salad dressing to add lots of color and flavor. Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Green Mountain Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker…
Santa Maria Sirloin steak was so easy and delicious marrying a 2” thick sirloin steak and our Santa Maria Seasoning. Too easy and so good. We have been working on a new seasoning “Santa Maria Seasoning” and giving it a workout on the GMG. We are Really Pleased with the results. Thinking ribs and chicken up next. You can use our recipe and mix…
Southern Strawberry Pie, ‘tis the season for big, beautiful strawberries. Ken’s good friend and fishin’ buddy Joe gave us 5lbs. of these luscious beauties, so the least we could do is make him a thank you dessert with a “Kiss of Smoke”. Ken likes strawberries on his biscuits, but I put biscuits on his strawberries for the pie crust because it just felt more…
Sriracha Mac & Cheese Sriracha Mac & Cheese, a simple supper with grilled pork loin chops . Ken wanted something super spicy as a side. Sriracha sauce is a bottled chili sauce…Ken approved. Patti added a bit of sour cream to lessen the heat. Farmer John makes a jalapeno bacon, but you can use regular bacon instead. For lunch the next day Patti heated the…
Smoky Boneless Beef Ribs are a great way to start the summer grilling season. We were asked for a different way to do ribs (and we have some totally awesome beef and pork rib recipes). These lovelies were boneless beef, seasoned with Loubier All Purpose Rub with some Country Bob’s Sweet Honey BBQ Sauce as a dipping sauce. Meat Candy!!! All with a “Kiss…
Braised Short Ribs On the Jim Bowie This recipe post is an older post in honor of my friend Tony, a Vet who is still with us in spirit... This week our friend Tony came down and we wanted to do something special for his birthday. We haven’t seen Tony for about four months and he was starving for some good “Q”. Sailors are easy…
Garlic Sour Cream Chicken is comfort food while the nights are still chilly. We like chicken thighs, but you can use any parts you prefer. You can even use boneless chicken parts as long as they are grilled until done. (165* or 74c). It’s also easy to prepare because you can marinate it overnight. To make the sauce/marinade lower in fat and calories substitute…
Rusty Mustard BBQ Beef Burger, we are having so much fun coming up with recipes for our shredded chuck roast. Our Rusty Mustard BBQ Beef Burger is off the hook. We used our Rusty Mustard Carolina Style BBQ Sauce with just a hint of heat. You can adjust the heat up or down to your taste, plus it’s quick and easy to make and…
Tex-Mex Brisket Pie, we love the “Big Beef” flavor of brisket and have been enjoying cooking it Tex-Mex all week. We thought we would do a BIG meat pie today with a few pounds of our “Tex-Mex Shredded Brisket” in a 10-inch cast iron skillet with a golden flaky crust. We wanted to step away from the traditional smoked brisket you see everyone doing…
Hasselback Stuffed Chicken Breasts because Patti loves, loves chicken and wanted to do a recipe that is mild in spiciness, but full of flavor. These were easy to put together the morning before Church or even the night before. These make a real treat to make for camping and/or tailgating, with that "Kiss of Smoke". Patti and I have set one night a week…
Big Beef Ribs Texas Style. There is nothing like the “Big Beef” flavor of these huge ribs. Today we took them a few steps farther with 2 days in a Chipotle/Pepper brine and smoked them for 6 ½ hours. These ribs were jam packed with that big beef flavor that we love. Big Beef Ribs Texas Style are very tender and juicy with just…
