Good afternoon! Ok, so I cut up my first beef knuckle a few weeks ago and saved some to grind. I just had to find a recipe for this nice lean meat. I found a sausage on Len Poli's site that looked interesting. Note the photo of the sausage for later.... A bit complicated but I have time to...

Good afternoon! I'm looking at a beef sausage (Len Poli) and there are a couple of ingredients I'm not familiar with. 1. AmesPhos. Is this the same as cold phosphate-sodium phosphate (which I can get at Walton's)? 2. Whey, protein isolate. Is this another name for Soy Protein Concentrate...

Good afternoon! I'd been toying around with this idea for a while and saw a weather window of opportunity and decided to stop procrastinating. Started with a 1# chub of Italian sausage from Meijer and pizza sauce I made up the day before. I also got one of those pre-made thin pizza crusts...

Well, I finally got around to making the Jambalaya I've talked about. The recipe I had called for File Powder but I got tired of looking for it and was told I didn't really need it, so here goes. Instead of listing the ingredients like I usually do I'll mention them as I go. First I browned...

I found a sausage & chicken Jambalaya recipe I'd like to try and it calls for a tsp of "File Powder". I'd never heard of it and Wikipaedia says it's from Sassafras and the FDA has outlawed it in the U.S. because it contains a carcinagen. Do I really need this and is there a substitute?

OK, after seeing a post from @MileHighSmokerGirl a couple of weeks ago about Jalapeno Cheddar sausage I decided I just had to try making some. Rather than searching for a recipe I decided I'd just wing it. I just used the "Kielbasa" recipe I came up with a few years ago and just added...

Good afternoon! This is a recipe I got from an ex co-worker (when I was still gainfully employed). He used to cook for an NHRA team now and then. 3 tbs butter or olive oil 1 pkg baby carrots (I use actual carrots) 3 stalks celery 1 medium onion 1 can diced tomatoes (un-drained) 3 cloves...

OK, so I did a Weisswurst post a couple of years ago and I was good but I thought it could have been better. For one thing the sausage wasn't white plus I didn't emulsify but went with a double grind. This time I went (mostly) with Rytek Kutas' recipe with a couple of changes; instead of Veal...

The weather is back to normal again and I hadn't had the offset fired up since the fall and I was almost out of pullled pork. I had a 9# butt in the freezer so I thawed it Wednesday. I used my own rub: 1/4 brown sugar 1/4 c paprika 2 tbs salt 2 tbs course black pepper 2 tbs garlic powder 2...

Ok, folks, I haven't been on-site for a while (for no particular reason), so I thought I'd post something so you all won't call me a slacker. If you like cheese you'll like this one.... This turned out awesome! The cheese didn't ooze out (probably because of the egg in the mix). Muenster is...

I'm looking for a good Rye Bread recipe. Anyone have one?

Good afternoon! I haven't posted a cook in a while so I thought I'd show off my newest C.I. I saw a recipe calling for a 3 quart dutch oven and decided I just had to have one. You know how it is ;-) I tried a couple of things and didn't get many pics: Baked Ziti and stuffed peppers: So this is...

So my new starter was looking good after 7 days. With a couple of 12hr feedings it was more than doubling in around 4hrs. Time to mix and autolyse. After an afternoon & evening of work 2 baskets were in the fridge for overnight. Next morning, after they warmed up it was time to bake. I went with...

I did a small batch of Weisswurst a couple of weeks ago and just got around to using some yesterday. I used equal parts Chicken breast, Eye of Round and Pork loin instead of Veal and Pork belly instead of Jowl. No emulsifying, just a double grind. I'd forgotten how much I like this sausage...

In keeping with the comfort food run here lately I thought I'd share one of our favorites. An ex coworker wrote this down several years ago. I don't know where he got it. I think he made it up himself. As written: 3 Tb butter or olive oil 1 package baby carrots 3 stalks celery 1 medium onion 1#...

Well I finally got around to using some more of the leftover turkey (I made a sandwich spread last week). I had a package of 12oz, which didn't match the recipe I found so I had to do math :-( For some reason the Mrs. didn't want green beans in it so I substituted potato. The crust was...

Well, the Mrs. has developed an addiction to Eclairs and the Kroger bakery wants $4.99 for 4 and I said I could give them a shot. It didn't take her long to find a recipe LOL! Vanilla Bean Filling Dough squirted out with a pastry bag and egg washed Out of the oven and cooling Filled and...

I just received it yesterday (A little shout-out to @SherryT !) and was wondering if anyone has any recipes? I'm hoping to make low/no sodium lunchmeat....

Recently @tx smoker posted another one of his creations that really got my attention, and since I really liked his Ranchero sauce I had to give it a try. I made a couple of changes from his procedure. After visiting three Mercados I found everything but Pasilla powder. I wound up getting dried...

I just picked up a 1/4 rick at the place I've been getting firewood for the last 3 years. The young fella that was running the splitter didn't know what it was. It's only been seasoning about a month. It smells good, but all new wood smells good to me LOL! I've never seen striations like this...
