Yummy southern dish loved by kids and adults. I make extra gravy, as pictured here, to freeze and use later on rice or mashed potatoes. Note: I cook it with skin on, then remove it.

Smoked Prime Rib and Horseradish Cream Sauce by myra byanka

A real holiday treat, prime rib is especially delicious when smoked with cherry or pecan wood. Since a crust that one likes on brisket is not necessary with this cut of beef, I recommend smoking it in a roasting or aluminum pan in order to capture all the juices possible. Your prime rib is done when it reaches an internal temp of…

Yummy Skinny Meatloaf by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

My husband loves meatloaf like so many men do. I’m always looking for ways to create new recipes that cut the calories without cutting the taste. This meatloaf really delivers.

Texas Smoked Brisket for Beginners by myra byanka

I've been smoking brisket for years, feeling that finishing it off in the oven was heresy. No telling how much carbon monoxide I've huffed, and so I have given in and developed a process that works well for me, and should for the novice brisket cook. I recommend buying an untrimmed, large brisket. Cook it, serve what you want and…
