Fat Boy Burger

Fat Boy Burger by Patti Fisher

Fat Boy Burger is fat on flavor! A ½ lb. juicy, delicious burger topped with two kinds of cheese, grilled onions and lots of bacon. We love “Big Burgers”, never get tired of them.

Krabby Poppers

Of course, they’re always wrapped with bacon. This time Patti stuffed pretty, sweet peppers with fake crab (aka Surimi, but you can use real…

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…

Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Burger Dogs

Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Burger Dogs by Patti Fisher

Sometimes we do a recipe just because it looks like fun, and this one was perfect for our 500th recipe on our new “Date Night Doins BBQ for Two” web site. (Almost 2 years old) This had everything we liked in a bacon cheeseburger, but with a fun twist. Ken put the cheese inside the burger, shaped it like a hot dog and wrapped it in…

Fiery Piggy Balls

Fiery Piggy Balls by Patti Fisher

We wanted to do an extra spicy appetizer wrapped in bacon, of course, for game day. Happily we just got some wonderful and extra zingy sauces from All Spice Café, so we knew we could put their Cayenne Habanero Sauce to good use. This is a variation of our “Chipotle Bacon Bombs” using hot sausage balls instead of ground beef. You can…

Our Favorite Mac & Cheese

Our Favorite Mac & Cheese by Patti Fisher

It’s been rainy and cold here. Comfort food was a must. Ken wanted macaroni and cheese, but it had to be extra cheesy with a crunchy topping. Patti said no problem and added bacon and broccoli to make it tastier and a bit healthy. Our Green Mountain Grill/Smoker added extra flavor along with their Green Mountain “Sizzle Seasoning…

Grilled Dungeness Crabs with Kicked up Seasoned Butter

Grilled Dungeness Crabs with Kicked up Seasoned Butter by Kevin Greggans

Recipe of Emeril Lagasse, 2002 – modified by Kevin Greggans There is nothing like fresh Dungeness crab when the season opens in the San Francisco Bay area! I modified this recipe and kicked it up another notch! Not so much for spicy seasonings, but more of a savory etouffee flavor. When you combine this with the smoked flavor…

I changed the Kiwi puree by adding lowfat Greek yogurt to firm it up consistency wise. My wife liked the puree so much she used it on her salad as well. Olivia's original recipe is great if you prefer a…
