Dry-Brined and BBQ'd Pork Loin Roast

Dry-Brined and BBQ'd Pork Loin Roast by Unknown Chef

For those of you in my age group, you might remember,"The wet head is dead, long live the dry look." The Dry Look was Gillette's new hairspray for men. And yes, I was part of that revolution. Even convinced my Dad to use the stuff. So, how does that relate to this recipe? Well, in my kitchen, wet-brining is dead, long live…

California Santa Maria Style Barbeque Tri-Tip

California Santa Maria Style Barbeque Tri-Tip by Foodiewife

We live about 3 hours north of Santa Maria, California. One day, we saw a BBQ trailer that was selling a tri-tip dinner plate, so we stopped to enjoy a roadside lunch. It was the tastiest tri-tip we've ever had! I found this recipe in Cook's Country Magazine, and it is our favorite way to enjoy tri-tip. I also made the Santa Maria…

Typically, steak tips come from the bottom sirloin, and that is where flap meat comes from. Bottom line, this is one of the best (truly) grilled steak recipes I've ever made or tasted! The marinade is packed full of flavor,…

Lotta Cheese Cheese Burger

Lotta Cheese Cheese Burger by Patti Fisher

We got a complaint from some friends that when they go out for burgers the meat is paper thin and the cheese, if you can find any, is tasteless. We had no choice but to say “See you tomorrow, come hungry!” Everyone was happily stuffed and knew they were eating a cheese burger. They may be back again tomorrow. Not only was there 2…

Easy Sausage Pierogi Bake by Patti Fisher

Ken wanted macaroni and cheese made meaty with sausage. Patti had an “aha” moment because frozen pierogies are something we always have on hand, plus Ken just cold smoked lots of our favorite kinds of cheese.
