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…
Cinnamon Ice Cream
Some of the most loyal followers of this blog are our aunts and uncles, so when Thanksgiving rolled around this year, they expected Dana and I to contribute to the spread.

Tacos

Plus with all the fresh veggies I put on top, I feel like I’m eating healthy (let’s forget about the cheese, sour cream and hard shell enveloping everything). These tacos use my homemade taco seasoning…
