Prairie Fire I have worked on this recipe for over 25 years, and have fine tuned it to a religious experience. They are great for tailgating and Super Bowl parties. I have experienced much debate from my friends as how to serve this. Weather I should serve it either as a dip with chips, or to roll it up in tortillas, or just spoon it…
Chipotle Beef http://youtu.be/74zfG1zfTec We love good rich beef flavor, then add the smoky influence of the Southwest. I am in heaven. The tortillas were tougher than the beef. In a sauce made from fresh peppers, onions and tomatoes from the Murrieta Farmers Market along with chipotle peppers it was multiple layers of awesome. Hot enough for Ken and mild enough for Patti. There are so…
http://youtu.be/kyQxXKOVNXk We found some chickens at our local market that looked more like small turkeys at only 69 cents a pound we bought a lot of them. Tonight’s dinner was simple and using Feiny’s Rubs, simple is always delicious. Of course, a green veggie was required and we got some fresh green beans from the Murrieta Farmer’s Market so we knew they would be fresh…
Lamb Goat Cheese Stuffed Tomatoes Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Louisiana 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…
Beef Tenderloin Burritos I got this idea from Larry Gaian, a well-known barbeque expert. You can see more from Larry at: http://www.embersandflame.com/ . He made tacos from one of these tenderloins. His were made with his favorite spices, as were mine, he folded, but I rolled my tortilla. It’s all good. Being they’re burritos but made with the tenderloin, Patti calls them “simply fancy”. And these…
BBQ Chicken This week we are doing a “Test Cook” for the Murrieta Farmer’s Markets. We wanted to do ribs and chicken on the same smoker at the same time. So, we are working out the cooking times for each. What I came up with was smoke it for 30 minutes at 225 degrees (108c), then turn the heat up to 350 degrees (177c) for an hour.…
Chipotle Bacon Bombs on a Stick Patti and I are still working on a few treats to serve “Off The Grill” for tailgating parties. These are a big hit at the Super Bowl parties also. With us, it has to be something smoked off the grill. A great start for anything we come up with. How about Chipotle Bacon Bombs on a Stick? We let…
Super Tailgater Burger Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside. This time for all our tailgating friends we used our Green Mountain Davy Crocket Tailgater Grill. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with…
Blackened Tuna Burger We love tuna, never can get enough of it. We like it every way it comes. This is the very best tuna we have ever had. A few weeks ago we called Andy and told him we were craving some of his good salmon. He told us about his fresh salmon and Ahi tuna and that he had the fix for our…
http://youtu.be/rB8Nt16ithw Pork Loin with Sherried Apples and Cranberries This is one of our “Count Down To The Holidays” recipes. We always do traditional holiday recipes, but this time we wanted something a little different and still festive. The pork was juicy and tender with a cranberry apple glaze to add to the layers of flavors. Patti made enough apple cranberry stuffing to have as a…
Bacon Stuffed Pork Tenderloin You know how when you plan something all week and when the time comes “Oh, oh”. Then, you fall back to Alternate Plan “B”. Well, that was our date night this week. I was thinking pork medallions. When we opened the pork tenderloin we found that we did not get one large one. But, instead we got two small ones. But,…
Just Hanging Out on The Royall 3000 Along Comes Daisy A Pellet Grill Recipe We were given another pig for my birthday. I have always wanted to do a whole pig but thought you needed special equipment, grills or deep holes dug in your yard. This is the second one I have done in about 6 weeks. I just can’t get over HOW SIMPLE this…
