Chicago Inspired Italian Beef Pull-apart Ring (TD entry)
Here is my Chicago Italian Beef Pull-Apart Ring that I entered in last month's Super Bowl throwdown. There's a lot of pictures so I'll try to keep it as compact as possible. This was my first time participating in a throwdown, and it was sure a lot of fun. I never expected a win or even a strong... -
New Year's Eve/Day
New Year's Eve is always a nice dinner for us to close out the year and it usually involves surf n' turf. My friend Robert aka @tx smoker was gracious enough to send me a few goodies for Christmas. So for NYE dinner, I thawed out some Certified Piedmontese Beef Filet Mignons. They were...- xray

I made Chopsaw's pork loin tacos
The other day, @chopsaw posted up some Pork Loin Tacos that he made using his Instant Pot. As luck would have it, I had some loin leftover after making some jerky and decided to follow his lead. I was curious to try his method. Here's his thread... -
Asian Pork Jerky
After seeing @Steve H post last week on his thai jerky, I just knew I had to make some soon. I’ve made a modified version of this about 3 or 4 times now that I just love. It’s super cheap when compared to beef. I also like to incorporate some fish sauce that @dirtsailor2003 would use for his...- xray

Cinco De Mayo Chicken Tacos w/ Corn and Black Bean Salsa
If you know me, you know I like my tacos and make them quite often. Well, I didn't really need an over-commercialized holiday excuse to fire some up, but the wife insisted so I figured "what the heck?" and jazzed some up anyway. I ended up doing grilled boneless chicken thighs with a corn and...- xray

Chuck Roast Burnt Ends
It's been awhile since I made up some chuck roast burnt ends and seeing a few lately put me in the mood for them. I pulled two chuck's out of the freezer in anticipation of smoking on Sunday since the weather was going to be absolutely beautiful (sunny and high 70s is a great day for April in... -
Polish Pickle Soup
Here's a soup recipe that I've been meaning to try, I know it sounds odd but it actually tastes pretty good! I had a simple recipe written down but when I went to google it, there were quite a few of them out there. The recipe from the Nobel Pig stuck with me and I loosely based it on theirs...- xray

Chicken Mulligatawny Soup
Back in October when I was laid up with Covid, my wife and I started binge watching Seinfeld on Netflix. If you're familiar with the show, and especially the Soup Nazi episode, one of the soups he makes is chicken mulligatawny. Until now, I never made it before but knew it was something I would... -

Some fermented hot sauce
I got to make some fermented hot sauce this year using thai chiles that I grew in planters on my deck. The first sauce I made was month ago but I ended up getting a bit more peppers so I started a second smaller batch. The second small batch just finished up so I figure I would show both... -
Lazy Chicken Tinga Tostadas
I wanted to switch things up for Taco Tuesday last night but didn't feel like going all out either. Searched for a few chicken tinga recipes online but ended up taking the easy way out. These tostadas required few fresh ingredients but the flavor more than made up for it. Chicken Tinga is...- xray

Italian Wedding Soup
Yesterday, I made some Italian Wedding Soup with homemade meatballs to eat for dinners this week. I knew it was going to be a pretty dreary couple of days, so soup sounded perfect. I was pleased with how the meatballs came out. These are almost up there with my Gram's meatballs. I'll never make...- xray

Filet Mignon on the 560
Yesterday, I got the chance to crank up the Masterbuilt 560 to max and sear off some filet mignon for dinner. Being able to smoke on low and turn it up at the end for the sear made a pretty awesome steak! This was one of the better steaks I have done. Since it was a steak and potato kind of... -
Chuck Roast Tacos Using 2 New Toys.
Last week, my brothers and my wife chipped in and got me a Masterbuilt Gravity 560 for a birthday present. I assembled and seasoned earlier in the week so the first chance I got to use it was Labor Day. I decided on something simple so I could develop a feel for the new smoker. I figured a chuck... -
Chorizo con Papas Tacos
The other day @Sowsage made some ABT tacos with leftover Chorizo. Well that put me in the mood for them so I ended up making Chorizo with Potato Tacos. This recipe is very straight forward. I used the Rick Bayless recipe for inspiration when making them, especially by par boiling the potatoes in... -

Jerk Pork Kabobs
Here's another simple one I like to do and with all the recent jerk threads, I was in the mood for something easy and different from all the chicken I've been eating lately. Jerk Pork Kabobs it is. 2 pork tenderloins were cubed and marinated overnight in Jerk marinade. 2 green bell peppers... -
Shrimp and Grit cakes.
Ever since I made these Shrimp and Grits and fried up grit cakes with the leftovers, I've been wanting to fuse the two. They came out delicious but I felt the extra step of making the grits, cooling them, cutting and then frying them up was too much effort for what it was. I'd prefer to just...- xray

Halloumi Cheese and Veggie Skewers
Did a simple and quick meal of Halloumi cheese and veggie skewers last night. For those who don’t know, Halloumi cheese is a high melting point cheese that can be grilled, fried, griddled etc etc. It’s very good heated, I would describe it as a more intense, flavorful and saltier version of... -
Asian Inspired Ground Beef Tacos.
My apologies because this meal was meant for the Blackstone Griddle but with rolling T-Storms, I didn't want to be standing on my uncovered porch watching hot oil and water mix. I ended up doing this on the stove inside. That's all a griddle is, a big flat pan right? Started off with a quick...
