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…
Mac ‘n Cheese Dogs
There is this restaurant/bar in downtown Minneapolis called Sneaky Pete’s. I’m not sure why it’s called Sneaky Pete’s. It might have something to do with the fact that it’s next door to a strip club and there is a ‘sneaky’ entrance from Sneaky Pete’s into the strip club. I could probably google the restaurant to…
Rhubarb Muffins
It’s only the third week of May and my rhubarb plant is already a few feet tall (when you count the leaves) and I can pull off thick two foot tall stalks of rhubarb. How is this even possible with the weird, cold spring we’ve had this year? But when the plant is producing that…

One of my favorite things I’ve learned to make from Helen though…
Enchiladas Suizas
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Cinco de Mayo celebrates the day Mexico defeated the French at the battle of Puebla. But it quite possible that it’s celebrated more in America than in Mexico. It also happens to be my birthday and since I happen to love Mexican food, I decided to post a Mexican dish today….
