Easter is a great holiday to cook for as it is a time to be with friends and family celebrating. This year the menu featured a traditional dish but one with a twist. I decided to go with a Leg of Lamb and smoke it on the Big Green Egg. This recipe combines the low and […]

Crispy Skin Salmon on the Big Green Egg
Seafood
I was watching an episode of All-Star Academy on the Food Network this weekend and saw one of the contestants make this incredible dish featuring a salmon filet with crispy skin. As a result I got motivated to make something using the same technique the contestant used on the show to get that crispy skin. […]

This weekend came to a close with my son and daughter (and their significant others) coming over for an afternoon of games, cigars, and BBQ! To feed all of these hungry faces I wanted to make Pulled Pork BBQ but didn’t have enough time to go low and slow. So, I decided to try a […]

Mushroom Panzanella and Prosciutto Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

Ah… Spring is in the air and we are finally outdoors cooking again! This dish features Panzanella which is a traditional Tuscan salad made with bread and tomatoes.

Pantry night continues with the “Miso” theme as we work through the bulk of Miso taking up valuable space in our appliance. This recipe took a different twist with the White Miso and […]
