Honey Mustard Chicken DrummiesWe got a call this week from friends excited to be taking their two adorable kids to the New Year’s parade. Of course, tailgating was a must and they wanted an easy and kid friendly recipe. They asked what the best sides would be and Ken said napkins…lots and lots of napkins. Patti came up with a barbecue sauce recipe with the help… |

We thought we would test a new recipe we were working on. “Bacon Cheese Garlic Bread”, oh yeah we rocked this. This was quick, easy and ooey gooey great. Jam packed with crumbled bacon, two kinds of cheese and buttery garlic… There were no leftovers,… |

Dark Chocolate & Orange Cake with Chia SeedsA very tasty cake with 70% dark chocolate, fresh orange juice and chia seeds! If you are new to chia seeds, I highly recommend trying this recipe. The amount of seeds put in this cake is really small but it still gives the cake an interesting texture without changing its flavor. |

Stuffed Double Cheese Bacon BurgersKen 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… |

Easy Sausage Pierogi BakeKen wanted macaroni and cheese made meaty with sausage. Patti had an “aha” moment because frozen pierogies are something we always have on hand, plus Ken just cold smoked lots of our favorite kinds of cheese. To make it extra easy we used jars of Alfredo sauce and to make it extra tasty we used Swimmin’ in Smoke Booty Shake Seasoning.… |

Fried Mozzarella Balls With Homemade Tomato SauceA week or so back I had a chance to taste fried mozzarella balls with tomato sauce. These were served to us alongside with some other deep fried appetizers. The mozzarella balls were absolutely divine and I knew back then that I would be trying to copy them and get as close to the delicious flavours as possible. I haven’t even done… |

Homemade ChurrosChurros are typical Spanish dessert that can be bought and enjoyed all over Spain. If you don’t find them in cafeterias, you’ll find stalls selling them on the streets, during fiestas or in special shops called Churrería. They are best served warm with a cup of really thick chocolate. |

Garlic Lovers ChickenChicken was on sale this week and Patti found a beauty, it was over 7lbs. so we had plenty left over for an awesome spontaneous picnic the next day with cold chicken. The sauce was simple with lots of flavor. Ken especially loved the 40 or so cloves of garlic. The longer garlic cooks the sweeter it gets. Plus, with our Pacific Living… |

Delicious Banana BreadA few months back my sister told me she baked banana bread. She was delighted with how it turned out for her and suggested I tried it too. To be honest, I wasn’t even keen on trying it. Couldn’t understand why she was so excited about it! But… One day we had some very ripe bananas at home and no one wanted to eat them (well, who… |

Southwestern Beer Can BurgersWe 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… |

Raw Zucchini SaladUp until now I had always bought zucchini and thought to myself: ‘’Now I am going to make something new with it! Something a bit different!’’ But the truth is I had ended up using it the same way – in my tomato pasta sauce. But this has come to an end now and so I have decided to make a salad. A salad with zucchini. Truth be told… |
