Campsite Cooking
For Father’s Day weekend, we took a short, very short, camping trip. We are fortunate enough to have two beautiful lakes within a couple miles of our house: Blue Springs Lake and Lake Jacomo. Both have campgrounds. This weekend, we secured a spot less than 50 feet from the playground at Blue Springs Lake. Mom […]

BBQ Bling
For the BBQ’er who has everything, how about a billet aluminum hitch insert for their truck or SUV? Made from aircraft grade aluminum, these inserts fit neatly in any standard 2″ hitch receiver.
Each catches the eye, but you better think about a locking hitch pin, or you may see it on your neighbors’ truck one […]
My Chicken’s Got Mojo, Baby!
If Austin Powers has lost his Mojo again… I’ve found it. Goya brand makes a wide array of amazing products. I recently found their Chipotle Mojo Marinade. Great flavor with not an overwhelming amount of heat. My wife is fairly adverse to spicy food, but she loved the Mojo marinated chicken and chops we did […]

Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin Medallions
The Egg was on the job this weekend. Made a Hot Jack Cornbread with cheese! I learned that if you mix your chopped jalapeños into the egg, Jack Daniels, and milk prior to adding the dry cornbread mix, you get a pretty good dose of heat throughout the cornbread. I was adding the chopped jalapeños […]

Grilled Lamb Loin Chops with Potato Cakes
My wife and I learned early in our relationship that dining out on Valentine’s Day is near impossible. The problem seems worse than on New Year’s Eve. Unlike other holidays, Valentine’s Day is more intimate, more for couples than big gatherings and private parties. It has to be the number one day of the year […]
I’m a Real Pouch Potato!
Round Two of burgers on the Big Green Egg with pouch potatoes and onions. Cooking with foil pouches is great. You can steam and brown potatoes, peppers, veggies, and shrimp quickly and easily.
Sweet onion and yellow potatoes were diced in large pieces. Then seasoned with fresh ground black pepper, santa maria seasoning, and olive oil. […]
