PERSIAN KUFTEH BERENJI by Linda Tay Esposito

We were invited to a potluck at our community center and asked what we should bring. The resounding vote was: meat!

Smoked Lasagna Roll Ups by Patti Fisher

We wanted a hearty stick to your ribs dinner. Having our good friends Jim & Debbie over and they wanted a dinner with some of Ken’s smoked cheese. We’ve all enjoyed it as snacks on crackers and cheese sauce, but they wanted to try some of our cooking magic as an entrée. Patti thought her lasagna would put the cheeses to a delicious…

Russian Pasties by A.L. Wiebe

Savory spiced ground meat nestled in fresh bread dough. I double or even triple this, then freeze to reheat later for a quick snack. You can really use just about any type of bread recipe for this, and the filling is only a suggestion. You can use just about anything, as long as it isn't too moist. Cheddar cheese, while delicious,…

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. We started with the very best ground beef: Fresh ground sirloin and blending that with some beef chorizo for 1 pound burgers with a nice blend of…

Italian Sausage Mac & Cheese by Patti Fisher

It’s amazing how many recipe requests we get for macaroni & cheese. That’s fine with us, it’s quick, easy and has unlimited variations. We used Ken’s favorite hot Italian sausage along with lots of his cold smoked cheddar and Patti insisted on fresh broccoli to keep it healthy. Being it was 101 here today we were more than happy to…

Taylor's Texas Chili w/ Beans by Wendi Taylor

I like to make this in the crock pot and let it cook on low all day, but I've adapted the recipe (and tested it) for a shorter cooking time and a stove-top option. Top chili with crumbled corn chips, shredded cheese, and chives for an especially delicious treat.
