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…
Peanut Butter Cookies
It’s no secret that one of the big reasons I am so warmly welcomed at our hunting camp is because of the cookies and bars I bring. The fact that I’ve outshot the guys on more than one occasion makes me a valued member of our hunting party but they don’t exactly like when I…
Creamed Corn

Roasted Red Pepper and Zucchini Frittata
