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…
Orange Dreamsicles
It’s just starting to warm up in Minnesota. We’re starting to see some grass in our yard among the piles of still melting snow where the wind or the plows pushed it into larger piles. And I’m making popsicles! No, this isn’t just me being a crazy Minnesotan and thinking that 50 degrees feels hot. …
