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…
Tangy Vinegar Coleslaw
I’m not the world’s biggest coleslaw fan. When it’s served as a side at restaurants it seems like a crap-shoot whether or not it will actually be good coleslaw or not. So when my husband came back from a weekend fishing at a friend’s cabin and told me we had to make this coleslaw, I was…
Biker Jim’s Hot Dogs
My husband and I both work for companies that have offices in Denver and have made a few work trips out there together. On one of those trips we found Biker Jim’s Gourmet Dogs, a restaurant that sells a unique variety of locally made brats/hot dogs. Many of them are made with wild game like…

Whether it’s changing up…
Roasted Broccoli

That was until I was introduced to roasted broccoli. SO. FREAKING. GOOD. I would have never guessed that broccoli could be addicting; this…
Fresh from the Garden Tomato Soup
I grew tomatoes in containers on my deck for the first time this summer, and boy was I surprised at how many I got. I’ve been trying to come up with different uses for all of them and figured that it wouldn’t be right if I didn’t include fresh tomato soup in my experiments. I…
