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…
Potato Tart, Bacon Bacon Bacon, our thanks to Chef Michael Smith for this idea! It’s an awesome side dish, but would work well as a main dish. We used two whole pounds of fresh bacon combined with Ken’s smoked cheddar cheese, sliced potatoes, onions and garlic. We seasoned it to perfection with “Swimmin’ in Smoke Boo Yah Beef” and coarse grind black pepper. I…
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…
Southwestern Shredded Beef we get a large Chuck Roll every month that we cut into huge roasts along with a few steaks and stew meat. This time we cut a beautiful 7lb. chuck roast and had a wonderful time deciding all the things we wanted to do with it, Southwestern Shredded Beef. Doing this one a little different than I usually do, I am…
Smoke Daddy Cold Smoked Cheese. We really enjoy smoked cheeses; we eat them as snacks and Patti uses them in lots of different recipes. So, every month we smoke a bunch of cheese and about 4 pounds of garlic that we use in our recipes. Think about pizza done with smoked cheese. You’ll never want it any other way! We grate a pound or…
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…
Maple Bourbon Pork Glazed Loin on Green Mountain’s Rotisserie. Beautiful and self-basting with a “Kiss of Maple Smoke”. Boneless pork loin is as versatile as chicken breast and just as lean. It’s an easy entrée that everyone will love, a little sweet, tender, and juicy. Ken loves hot and spicy, but he loved this. We used Patti’s “Sweet Mama’s Maple Bourbon Glaze”, finger licking…
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…
