We are tired of writing this, but once again the winter that will not go away kept us inside and away from the Big Green Egg. We are continuing to play with recipes that we will eventually make on the BGE… and this dinner was no exception. We love the flavor profile of Filipino food and wanted to make a version […]
Kalbi Korean BBQ on the Big Green Egg

Special Restaurant Month: The Partisan
Food Exploration
As you can tell by now we like to go out to eat… a lot! So, to spice things up we came up with the idea for a special restaurant experience once a month where we would go to a local eatery that we have never been to before. To make things more interesting we […]
Pan Seared Sea Bass with Red Miso Broth
Seafood
This week the cold weather and snow continued to keep me inside and away from the Big Green Egg. As a result I have spent a great deal of time in the kitchen focusing on the ingredients I had on hand. Yesterday I picked up a protein that would best compliment what was in my refrigerator […]

Heart Shaped Mushroom Ravioli with Vodka Sauce
Sauces + Sides
Going out for Valentine’s Day is for amateurs. If you really want to show the one you love a good time cook with them at home!
