Our Favorite Mac & Cheese

Our Favorite Mac & Cheese by Patti Fisher

It’s been rainy and cold here. Comfort food was a must. Ken wanted macaroni and cheese, but it had to be extra cheesy with a crunchy topping. Patti said no problem and added bacon and broccoli to make it tastier and a bit healthy. Our Green Mountain Grill/Smoker added extra flavor along with their Green Mountain “Sizzle Seasoning…

Potlicker BBQ Beans

Potlicker BBQ Beans by Patti Fisher

Patti’s Pot Licker BBQ Beans, I will never admit that there are baked beans as good or better than mine. That said, Patti put together some BBQ beans this week that will make the strongest of us a “Pot Licker” … These are good both Hot or Cold and would be great tailgating or camping. She took some Raider Red Chile & Cheese sausage…

Swordfish is juicy, tender and flavorful. It is a flakey white fish that costs about $16 per pound where I am from.

Smoked Orange Peel Chicken

Smoked Orange Peel Chicken by Patti Fisher

We’ve already started thinking about holiday recipes. This moist, tender whole chicken was easy with only three ingredients and lots of flavor. Ken spatchcocked the chicken to grill it faster and Patti made a glaze better than our local Chinese restaurant. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Spatchcock chicken Spatchcock,…

Cedar Planked Salmon with Lemon-Dill Butter and Grilled Rainbow Carrots

Cedar Planked Salmon with Lemon-Dill Butter and Grilled Rainbow Carrots by Robyn Medlin

There’s just something about salmon cooked on cedar planks that makes it that much more enticing. It must be the smoky flavor from the grill that coaxes the cedar flavor out of the wood and into the fish while also permeating the air with a…

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)."

Southwestern Jalapeno Glazed Turkey with Jalapeno Cheese Bread Stuffing

Southwestern Jalapeno Glazed Turkey with Jalapeno Cheese Bread Stuffing by Patti Fisher

Friends from Texas wanted a special Thanksgiving dinner without it being the same old same old. So, in their honor we gave our turkey dinner with a bit of southwestern zing. We smoked our spatchcocked beauty for 6 hours and Patti made an easy, but…

Slow Smoked Garlic Cloves

Slow Smoked Garlic Cloves by Bob Vincent

I was smoking chicken thighs with a combination of oak and hickory chunks in my smoker. Since I'm open to trying most anything I thought I would try smoking peeled whole garlic cloves along side the chicken thighs as a test to see what resulted. The result was not bad. The pungency of the garlic is toned way down much the same as…

Monster Shrimp With Orange Chili Sauce

Monster Shrimp With Orange Chili Sauce by Robyn Savoie

These are big shrimp, the ones that ate the other shrimp. When they opened the cage door after the death match, these are the shrimp that walked out of the ring. Don't turn your back on the grill while you're cooking these -- someone's liable to abscond with them.

Mesquite Smoked Pork Tenderloin with Bourbon-Ancho/Pasilla Sauce

Mesquite Smoked Pork Tenderloin with Bourbon-Ancho/Pasilla Sauce by Bob Vincent

This recipe is adapted from one in Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill cookbook. The original browned the pork then roasted it in the oven. Instead I smoked the pork with Mesquite wood chunks. Mesquite can overpower food and make it bitter if too much is used…

Irish Poppers

Irish Poppers by Patti Fisher

Patti was having lunch out with her good pal Peggy and, of course, they tossed around recipe ideas. Everyone loves jalapeno poppers for tailgating and Green Mountain makes one of the best with their Davy Crockett. It fits so easy into your car because the legs fold up and become handles. Ken thought these poppers Peggy came up with…

Poor Man’s Burnt Ends and Tips

Poor Man’s Burnt Ends and Tips by Patti Fisher

Our “Poor Man’s” Burnt Ends are “Off The Hook”! The burnt ends are meat candy. Burnt Ends are normally made from Brisket and that can be very expensive. But, as Larry Wolfe showed us you can use chuck roast. Patti got me an 8 pound Chuckie for around $21. That’s a lot of good meat for the smoker. Patti and I have set one night a…
