The Cajun Burger

The Cajun Burger by Patti Fisher

Patti had a hankering for Jambalaya, but Ken had to have a bacon cheese burger. So, we compromised and made a burger with our favorite Chef of the Future Cajun Seasoning on a bacon cheeseburger topped with extra large shrimp. It came out great, especially adding our bacon square. Our first ingredient in our cooking is imagination, but…

Southwestern Beer Can Burgers

Southwestern Beer Can Burgers by Patti Fisher

We have been seeing folks post their beer can burgers for the last few weeks, all of them looking good. We wanted to take it to the next level by adding a “Southwestern” twist to it. We started with the very best ground beef: Fresh ground sirloin and blending that with some beef chorizo for 1 pound burgers with a nice blend of…

Memphis Rub

Memphis Rub by Kevin Greggans

Awesome Dry Rub I received years ago from a friend who lives in Memphis. His family recipe. I had to swap my award winning chili recipe with him before he agreed to fork it over! :-) Great on Baby Back ribs and pork butt, but could work with beef as well. I like to cook low and slow in my smoker, but you could use just a well…

Italian Sausage Mac & Cheese

Italian Sausage Mac & Cheese by Patti Fisher

It’s amazing how many recipe requests we get for macaroni & cheese. That’s fine with us, it’s quick, easy and has unlimited variations. We used Ken’s favorite hot Italian sausage along with lots of his cold smoked cheddar and Patti insisted on fresh broccoli to keep it healthy. Being it was 101 here today we were more than happy to…

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…

Brazilian Coulotte Steak

Brazilian Coulotte Steak by Patti Fisher

Brazilian Coulotte Steak, Picanha is a cut of beef called sirloin cap in the United States that is popular in Brazil. In the United States, it is little known, but referred to as the rump cover, rump cap, or Coulotte. This was a fun one to grill, and we thank Raider Red Meats for sending us something unusual to “play” with! With…

Citrus Pepper Chicken Bacon Cheeseburgers

Citrus Pepper Chicken Bacon Cheeseburgers by Patti Fisher

Citrus Pepper Bacon Chicken Cheeseburgers because Ken loves cheeseburgers or anything with cheese and bacon. Patti wanted to make the burgers a little healthier and she loves chicken. These were super simple and full of flavor. A definite for our next camping or tailgating adventure. I think the Briggs Citrus Pepper Seasoning just…

Stufz Bastille Burger

Stufz Bastille Burger by Ken & Patti Fisher

Filled with Cabernet, sweet onions, garlic, mushrooms and blue cheese! Last week Dave Hanson from “Stufz Ultimate Burger” sent us one of his burger stuffers. Which we thought was really cool because I had been looking at this very same unit for a few weeks now. I gave Dave a call and we talked about his stuffer and some of his…

CB’s Bacon Peanut Butter Burger

CB’s Bacon Peanut Butter Burger by Ken & Patti Fisher

This burger was an easy choice, Ken had to try it. I first saw it on Chef Barry’s Sizzle on the grill. http://www.sizzleonthegrill.com/blog/2010/10/19/grilled-burgers-with-a-pinch-of-sizzle/ We love peanut butter and thought about this for a second or so and we were in. Ken used the creamy, Patti loved the crunchy. Burgers are…

Pecan Wood Smoked Chicken Thighs with Ginger Apricot Glaze

Pecan Wood Smoked Chicken Thighs with Ginger Apricot Glaze by Bob Vincent

These are tasty chicken thighs. I used Pecan wood chunks to smoke the thighs then glazed them with Ginger Apricot Glaze at the end of the cooking process. If you don't have a smoker grilling is fine but you won't get the subtle flavor from the sweetness in the Pecan wood. I removed the skin before glazing to reduce some fat…

Hasselback Potatoes

Hasselback Potatoes by Patti Fisher

We love these sliced, baked potatoes with cheese and bacon. We bake the potatoes and cool them ahead of time so they’re easy to quickly prepare. These are fancy enough for special dinners and convenient enough to mostly prepare the night before. They’re a different and delicious version of a twice baked potato. You can use any flavor…
