So here are some highlights from my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving, and kind of a repeat, but with other goodies on … More Holiday Cooking Highlights!
Even though it seems like summer just keeps hanging around, it felt like there might be hope for fall weather this weekend, so I made some chili!! Chili is so easy and there are no right or wrong ways to do it. I want you to feel comfortable doing chili any way you like it! … More Chili Season!

During this past year of acquiring pandemic toys, I secured an electric smoker from a neighbor who was giving it away and since then, I’ve had a good bit of fun with it. I wanted to go big this time – smoking a big hunk of meat big. I had a significant task here, the … More Smoked Brisket
Went with the classic surf and turf for dinner last night, steak and lobster! I’m sure a lot of people ended up making their Valentine’s dinner at home this year since going out is a bit challenging, but I truly enjoy making special meals like this.

It’s time for some warm, comfort cooking! I had some short ribs that were perfectly up to the task! I didn’t quite have time for a full braise, so I decided to try them in the Instapot. I rubbed some black truffle rub on the ribs (I usually go with boneless) and got some truffle … More Truffle and Red Wine Short Ribs!
My new pandemic toy – an electric smoker!! Not quite as big as my last one (the RV), but super cool and this one was free!! A neighbor was doing some spring cleaning and just didn’t want it anymore, never really used it, and I was like, um, sure I’ll take a smoker!! It fit … More Smokin’ It!!

As you know, I love repurposing leftovers and oftentimes they come out even better then the first dish. The other night, I had a good bit of leftover grilled chicken. This was the first dish – nicely grilled chicken quarters with grilled peppers, shrooms and tomatoes and it was delish. But the next show was … More Grilled Chicken Tacos
