Gochujang Glazed Brisket Burnt Ends and Slices
Ok, confession time- I don’t turn in burnt ends in my brisket box at KCBS contests. I know all the Oklahoma and Kansas people will claim that’s not a true brisket turn-in, but I don’t care. I do well with my brisket when I compete, and I get the bonus of keeping the brisket points […]
Apple Pie Pork Chops with Sage Maple Apples
My very favorite herb has to be sage. My family always jokes about the amount of sage I put in Thanksgiving dressing. It’s a lot. Heaps. And guess what, if they don’t like it they don’t have to eat it. It’s delicious. So, when Fall finally hits I love to start using sage in many […]

BBQ Chicken in Pink Butcher Paper
Smoking foods wrapped in pink butcher paper should not be reserved just for briskets.

Asian Glazed Pork Belly Bites

Piri Piri Grilled Snapper
Have you tried Piri Piri sauce (aka Peri Peri?) If you haven’t, you are in for a treat. The flavor of Piri Piri sauce is spicy, garlicky, salty, citrusy, and savory all at the same time. Piri Piri works as a marinade, a dipping sauce, a cooking sauce, and a serving condiment. It’s great on […]
