Honey Mustard Tuna Steaks were a light dinner after lots of ribs and burgers. It was a quick and easy entrée using mostly ingredients we had on hand. Patti served it with a box of cheesy broccoli rice made according to package directions but added a handful of sliced green onions for color and a few extra shakes of Loubier All Purpose seasoning for another…
Uncle Bubba’s Cowboy Burger will make you shout, “Yee Haw”! We love BIG BURGERS and Uncle Bubba never lets us down. His Cowboy burger has a ½ pound of beef, Coby Jack cheese, a pile of crisp, smoky bacon and then top with pickles and French-fried onions. Nested in a bed of lettuce and tomato. All drizzled with his Blackened Ranch Sauce. Dang!!! He…
Smoky Chipotle Garlic Chicken was a perfect way to enjoy Ken’s Smoky Chipotle Garlic Sauce. It’s an extra easy to fix dinner using a whole “spatchcocked” chicken and Louisiana Grill’s Raspberry Chipotle Chicken Rub. Not many ingredients, but tons of 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…
Smoked Beef Stroganoff 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 but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood burning stove, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a…
Uncle Bubba’s Country Ribs Texas Style. Kissed with his BBQ sauce, “Uncle Bubba’s Whiskey BBQ Sauce”, a delicious, easy and beautiful Texas style BBQ sauce. We love ribs in any form and this was a nice pile of ribs that didn’t last long. These are also known as country strips. They were thick and meaty with a bone in (Patti’s preference), but they also…
Cranberry Onion Pork Roast is a festive holiday recipe when you want something smaller than a whole ham. Some of Patti’s friends laugh at her because she actually liked canned cranberry sauce. But, she showed them that it’s great as a base for a sauce or glaze especially with some added garlic or made thinner with a little orange or cranberry juice. It’s not…
Chicken Stuffed Shells Primavera because the holidays are coming and you need something to do with your leftover turkey and veggies. We shared these with our neighbors, Eddie & Kevin, and they both loved them. They said they had all the goodies for a pot pie, but with pasta instead of crust. These were great with leftover chicken, too. But if you want to…
Sizzlin Jalapeño Pork Belly Burnt Ends are Crazy Good!!! We had some pork belly and wanted to do something special with it. And I’m telling you we did. The rich flavor of the pork, seasoned to perfection then a jalapeno glaze. A sweet heat treat with a “Kiss of Smoke.” You’ll want to try these, super easy to do and everyone will love them.…
Chili Corn Pudding, this is one of our 1st recipes I tucked into a folder today. One on my favorites that my mother made for the holidays. It brings back happy memories of times long gone. Hope you enjoy it as we have. Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on…
Ham Tangerine Honey Glaze, we have lots of fruit trees and Ken especially loves the tangerines. So, Patti juiced about 4 cups worth for our ham. To make it extra special and festive we served it with fresh steamed green beans tossed with a tablespoon of white truffle oil and some grated Parmesan cheese. Plus, long grain and wild rice with a few handfuls of…
Honey Rubbed Smoked Turkey because we love the flavor of turkey with a gentle “Kiss of Smoke”. Turkeys being on sale we got a few of them to smoke just for sandwiches and casseroles. Think about “Honey Rubbed Smoked Turkey sandwiches”, so good… I did a double smoke by cold smoking it first for 2 hours with Smoke Daddy’s “Cold Smoke Generator” then bring…
Simple Spatchcocked Smoked Turkey with a nice “Kiss of Smoke” was the perfect dinner for a hot day. Let me explain: It’s been triple digit hot here so slow smoking a turkey was a delicious idea for cold sandwiches and future casseroles. We used three simple ingredients and Green Mountain Apple pellets for full flavored, no fuss, no heating up the kitchen turkey! Patti…
