Brown Sauce with meatballs

Brown Sauce with meatballs by Weining Wang

There is only one reason why I wish to be a good chef: the determination of being a culinary martyr out of real ardent love. Like the lonely old man in my poem who walks along the silent street immersed in the dark night, despite of the sand storms and the agony loneliness trying to swallow him up, he keeps smiling and never loses his…

German Rouladen (beef rolls )

German Rouladen (beef rolls ) by Chef Paul McGovern

I love German food !! This is time consuming to make and you will be in the kitchen for quite a while. So it is a great rainy day dish. Prep time for me is about 1 1/2 to 2hr and I am a Chef. The first time I did this about 20 years ago it took me 6 hr. to get it all done. That is cooking time also and it was at home. Spend the time…

Short Rib's My Way

Short Rib's My Way by Chef Paul McGovern

I love short ribs but every where I go they cook them to death !! For some reason all places and Chefs like to braise them for hours in all types of heavy sauces. I think that this is one of the best cuts of meat and has the flavor of a great ribeye. The down side is that they are hard to get right. You need to have them at room…

Pastrami Subs

Pastrami Subs by Patti Fisher

Pastrami Subs Go Tailgating, we love the pepper crust and they were so tender and juicy. Who says that camp cooking is boring? We took a corned beef brisket and did a heavy pepper crust then smoked it for 6 hours. When you smoke corned beef you’re making Pastrami and it’s good just on your plate or thin sliced for subs. Patti likes to…

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…

Zucchini Meatballs in Cream Sauce - Microwave Quick!

Zucchini Meatballs in Cream Sauce - Microwave Quick! by Salad Foodie

Several good reasons to save this recipe: to use up zucchini; to keep the kitchen cool by microwaving the main dish; and because the meatballs are loaded with veggies, are moist and creamy. This is one of my two all-time FAVS from the peak microwave cookbook era of the 80's and 90's. If you prefer, use homemade cream sauce in place of…

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…

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…
