Thai Red Curry Paste

Thai Red Curry Paste by Hina Gujral

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…

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,…

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.

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.

Stuffed Peppers - Mexican Taco Style

Stuffed Peppers - Mexican Taco Style by Denise Sherin

Stuffed Peppers are so easy to change up flavor wise. These are made with a Mexican taco flavor. I used cous-cous instead of rice because my son doesn't really like rice. But you can use rice, cracked wheat or quinoa whatever you like. I also use mild chilies but for a spicier dish you could use jalapenos. For the meat in this…
