Quick and Easy Spicey Refried Bean Dip by Patrick Travis

This is a great party dip. I've learned to put out small bowels when several of our friends come over for dinner as they will eat the entire thing before I can get dinner out. They LOVE it. Play with the flavors in this dip by changing the type of salsa and chili powders you use. There's no right or wrong chilies or salsa, just use…

Cherry Wood Smoked Rainbow Trout With Peach Relish

Cherry Wood Smoked Rainbow Trout With Peach Relish by Bob Vincent

I used cherry wood for smoking which has a nice sweet smoke flavor. If you aren't into smoking as I am; grilling or pan frying the fish works fine as well.…
