Smoked Pulled Pork
Pulled pork is the first thing I became really comfortable smoking and being able to achieve a consistent end product. Dare I say perfect? I mean, the recipe is made the way, I really like it so I guess it’s perfect for me. And it’s become pretty popular with whomever, I have made it for…
Bacon Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’m always on the lookout for new and different cookie ideas to make and I was really intrigued by this combination of bacon and chocolate cookies that I found at Tidy Mom, of course the addition of bourbon didn’t hurt either.

Buffalo Mac ‘n Cheese

Ooey Gooey Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Bars
I almost named these 7 layer blondies because they are like a cross between my 7 layer bars and a blondie. The flavors and ingredients are very similar with both butterscotch and chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and coconut. What I liked best about this version is how ooey and gooey the sweetened condensed milk…
