Sirloin Soft Tacos

Sirloin Soft Tacos by Ken & Patti Fisher

Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on the grill but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood burning stove, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or…

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

This burger was an easy choice, Ken had to try it.

Ken used the creamy, Patti loved the crunchy. Burgers are…

Hardwood Pellet-Fired Stoven Rotisserie Turkey Brine

Hardwood Pellet-Fired Stoven Rotisserie Turkey Brine by Stoven John

The best way to cook a smoked turkey is utilizing its' own juices to baste itself. What a better way than to use a rotisserie and a hardwood pellet-fired grill or Stoven pellet-fired burner conversion for a kettle style grill to accomplish this. Cooking time is ten minutes per pound instead of fifteen minutes per pound in a standard…

Smoked Whole Chicken by Bob Vincent

This recipe probably won't get much attention. However I am into smoking food so I thought I would give it shot anyway. The key to this type of cooking is patience. Slow and low is the attitude. Remember if you're lookin you ain't cookin! Resist the temptation to check to see how things are going it only lowers the temperature…

Chicken Ceaser Salad

Chicken Ceaser Salad by Bob Vincent

We love Ceaser Salad. I have added several ingredients to a basic "Vanilla" salad that makes it an easy meal for a weeknight. If you are concerned about using raw egg as an emulisifer use a heaping tablespoon of mayo instead. The salad dressing is adapted from one that appeared in Time-Life Books "The Good Cook/Salads" published in…

Chocolate Chipotle Tri Tip with a Pepper Garlic Crust by Ken & Patti Fisher

How good does a Dove’s Chocolate anything sound? Our friends Nate and Le Tonia are Dove Chocolatiers. A few months ago they sent us some of Dove’s Sweet’N’Spicy Cocoa Rub. I have used it on pork, lamb, duck, chicken and now a beef tri tip. It is not like anything you are thinking. It’s better. For example, the Mexicans have been…
