My Favorite Beef Stew Recipe
It gets really hot and muggy in Mississippi. By the time we have our 4 or 5 days of Fall weather, I am soooo ready to make beef stew. It’s my favorite thing when it gets cold outside, and I love to make it the low and slow way, and let those delicious aromas permeate […]
Smoked Short Rib Tacos
I, like many of you perhaps, am a fan of the humble taco. I love them from street vendors, from my house, from just about everybody really. I mean, you almost can’t go wrong with a taco. But sometimes, I like to change up the normal meats used in tacos and make some amazing tacos! […]
Sausage Cheddar Balls
The Holidays are fun, but they can get sooo hectic. This is a super-easy recipe for a delicious appetizer that you can make ahead. They’re perfect for setting out for grazing, or to take over to a friends’ house. These Sausage Cheddar Balls are simply a must have at my house for whenever people […]
Smoked Turnip Greens on a Pellet Grill
I grew up in rural Mississippi, and much of our diet was what we grew or could raise. I grew up eating turnip greens, boiled and sauteed cabbage, pinto beans, cornbread, etc. Really, all the “soul food” items. But they’re more than soul food, they’re country food. We could grow turnip greens easily enough, so, […]
Chipotle Bacon BBQ Shrimp
BBQ Shrimp is a dish that originated in Louisiana. Rather than being grilled or cooked outside, the “BBQ” in the name refers to the spice selection that the dish is cooked with. Traditionally, the shrimp are cooked with the head and shell left on. The delicious, spice-filled butter sauce that the shrimp are cooked in […]
Ham Bone and White Bean Soup
I love spiral sliced hams, especially around the holidays. We sell thousands of my Double Smoked Spiral Hams at this time of year and ship them all across the country. Now, with a spiral ham, you’ll get some amazing pieces of ham easily from the bone. But, the slicers can’t go all the way to […]
Instant Pot Short Ribs

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 […]
Fall Tomato Soup
Don’t you just love it when Fall really comes in? I know I do. I live in the sweat zone of Mississippi, and I’m always glad to see the back of summer. However, there are trade-offs with everything in life, and just when I get to craving tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, that’s when […]
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 […]
