Stuffed Peppers - Mexican Taco Style

Stuffed Peppers - Mexican Taco Style by Denise Sherin

Stuffed Peppers are so easy to change up flavor wise. These are made with a Mexican taco flavor. I used cous-cous instead of rice because my son doesn't really like rice. But you can use rice, cracked wheat or quinoa whatever you like. I also use mild chilies but for a spicier dish you could use jalapenos. For the meat in this…

Zucchini Boats are great! You can stuff them any way you like. We have stuffed them so many different ways but this one is a favorite... with this recipe we have also added chopped kalamata olives, diced hot ham, sun-dried tomatoes and feta. It depends what we have in at the time. Add in any combination of your favorites! I…

Stuffed Peppers - BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Style

Stuffed Peppers - BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Style by Denise Sherin

I love stuffed peppers. But my son doesn't like rice and wasn't a fan of the plain flavor of the tomato sauce. So I created these peppers knowing the flavors of BBQ bacon cheeseburger would appeal to him. I used orzo in place of rice. Needless to say he ate 2 and a half at dinner and has asked for all the leftovers to be his…

Honey Soy Drumsticks

Honey Soy Drumsticks by Denise Sherin

This is a nice way to bake chicken. I use it for 12 drumsticks but you could use it for 18-20 wings, 10-12 thighs or even just chicken breasts. Original recipe says to salt and pepper the chicken before you add the sauce but I don't salt it because the soy sauce has plenty of salt. So season it how ever you like. I heat the honey…

Mexican Style Beef Stew (Crockpot)

Mexican Style Beef Stew (Crockpot) by Denise Sherin

This is a nice spicy change from your everyday beef stew. You can spice it up more if you like. My son loves to eat it with tortilla chips and some cornbread. You can garnish it w a dollop of sour cream on top and/or shredded cheddar cheese and fresh chopped cilantro.

These chops are fantastic in late summer when the corn is its sweetest and the tomatoes are their juiciest.

Bacon Crusted Texas Brisket

Bacon Crusted Texas Brisket by Robyn Savoie

Pull out the smoker for this one or be prepared to use your grill. I recommend charcoal over gas. This is time consuming but worth it. I found this recipe in Steven Raichlen's Cookbook; "How to Grill by Steven Raichlen (Workman, 2001)."

Taylor's Texas Chili w/ Beans

Taylor's Texas Chili w/ Beans by Wendi Taylor

I like to make this in the crock pot and let it cook on low all day, but I've adapted the recipe (and tested it) for a shorter cooking time and a stove-top option. Top chili with crumbled corn chips, shredded cheese, and chives for an especially delicious treat.

Grub Rubbed and Smoked Corned Beef Brisket

Grub Rubbed and Smoked Corned Beef Brisket by Smokinhotchef

This recipe turned out fabulous even though I used a corned beef brisket instead of the traditional brisket. I created a wonderful spice blend especially for grilled meats and coined it Neillio's Grub Rub. Let the brisket marinate in the rub for 1/2 day to 24 hours. I used both the grill and the oven for this recipe and feel great…
