Smokinhot's Bistro Style Steak Sandwich by Smokinhotchef

I love sandwiches. This recipe is a 3 course meal including soup all in one. Fresh mushrooms and onions make for super awesome steak accompaniments, while the potatoes and sliced pumpernickel provide the starch and complete the picture. French onion soup brings the whole ensemble together. Bursting with flavor and not skinny on…

Chipotle Chickpea Dip by K. Garner

This is based on the same-titled recipe on Fat Free Vegan.com. I used heaping tablespoons of chipotle peppers, white onion, and a mixture of fresh and bottled lime juice. This dip is FANtastic. The smokiness of the peppers fools your taste buds. The mouthfeel is there--that umami everyone's looking for--without cheese or meat. You…

No Bake Biscuit Cake with Pudding by Jenny

Have you ever tried No Bake Biscuit & Pudding Cake? If not, I suggest you put it on you To Do list!

Nothing says southern hospitality like big, hot and buttery biscuits. I learned the basics of "ho' cakes" by the time I was 10 years old.

Crusty Fried Salmon Planks by Smokinhotchef

Growing up, my mom would often create recipes from different types of canned fish for breakfast. She was a master at preparing the meal complete with homemade biscuits( if we didn't have bread for toast), prepping our school clothes, ironing our dad's, and managing to get herself ready and out the door by 6:30 am. Aside from being…

This is a great little treat for company or while you are sitting around watching holiday…

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…

Stuffed Double Cheese Bacon Burgers by Patti Fisher

Ken made his amazing cold smoked cheese again and before Patti ate it all for snacks we decided to use some for recipes. We had been talking about stuffed burgers for awhile and these were so good. Patti stuffed them with our cold smoked mozzarella, then topped the burgers with bacon squares and smoked cheddar. Perfect. There aren’t a…
