Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp, strawberries are in season and it’s hot outside. This is super easy to do on the Green Mountain Grill without heating up the house. A perfect marriage (just like ours). But, with strawberries and rhubarb we got at the Farmer’s Market. Sweet and tangy served either hot or cold works great with ice cream or whipped cream, with a “Kiss of…
Summer is here with a vengeance and Patti's Easy Berry Crisp for Two is a refreshing treat. It’s been triple digit hot. So happy to have our Outdoor Oven to keep the heat out of the kitchen and still cook refreshing desserts like our fruit crisp. It’s quick and easily made with your favorite berries and just a few other ingredients. Having the smoke box…
Chocolate Chipotle Bacon Candy! This stuff is CRAZY GOOD and will be ILLEGAL when the food police hear about it! We’ve put a spicy twist to it to make it even more addictive. We have had it with chocolate and loved it. We even made it when we were cooking at the brewery. What about chipotle? So, we thought we would try it and…
Grilled Banana Split, I was waiting to do something special for Patti tonight. Thinking chocolate is good, and ice cream, bananas with nuts and whipped cream was a symphony of a dessert. Boy did I rack up the points. The hot sweet banana topped with cold ice cream melting over it covered with chocolate, nuts whipped cream and picking up some of the smoke…
Skillet Pineapple Upside Down Cake goes tailgating. On our Green Mountain Grills Davy Crockett Tailgater, you can do everything from soup to dessert. We love this grill for camping and tailgating because it does the job of a big grill in a small easy to use size. Even under 5’ tall Patti can lift it! We put most of this cake together in one…
Cast Iron Blueberry Coffee Cake because it’s triple digits in the shade. But we still wanted a sweet treat after Church. Plus, big beautiful blueberries are at their peak. Using our Green Mountain Grill and a can of biscuits Patti had an “aha” moment. Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something…
Grilled Chocolate Tamale Banana Split! We ordered some tamales from Texas Lone Star Tamales last week, beef, pork and chocolate. Yes Chocolate!!! We have never even heard of such goodness. They are good just heated but, think of all the fun things you can do with them. I made a Grilled Banana Split for Patti so I thought I would do one with a Chocolate…
Peach Bread Pudding with Coffee Glaze, with all the delightfully spicy foods we are having for Memorial Day, Patti wanted a light and sweet dessert to finish off our dinner. We had some beautiful frozen peaches leftover from our last year’s bounty from the Murrieta Farmer’s Market to add a fresh sweetness. Patti poured on a glaze with coffee liqueur, but you can substitute coffee…
Very Berry Cobbler in a Lodge Dutch Oven Very Berry Cobbler. At the Murrieta Farmer’s Market we got a wonderful selection of fresh, juicy berries. Lots of organically grown eggs and veggies, but that’s for other recipes. Ken loves my raspberry cobbler, so for an extra treat we mixed raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. With a "Kiss of Smoke" using Mountain Maple pellets. Served with either…

Like the other bacon candies we have done this stuff is CRAZY GOOD and will be ILLEGAL when the food police hear about it! Got the idea of adding pecans from talking with Bret at Earthwork’s Supply, (Bull Racks). This is a special treat. Bacon Candy is so simple to make: sweet and smoky. Just…
Nuts For Banana Bread We wanted something extra nice with our morning coffee. Patti noticed we had some really ripe bananas and had an “aha” moment. While Ken slept in Patti whipped up a quick banana bread filled and topped with lots of pecans. To make it a little lighter she used applesauce instead of the usual oil. To keep the house cool she used…
Kitchen Sink Brownies Patti was having some of her Ladies’ Group coming over for lunch. They wanted a cool, crisp healthy salad…followed by a decadent, very chocolaty dessert. To make it easy Patti used a package brownie mix with lots of mix-ins. The girls just wanted a sliver of the browning, huge slivers. LOL! It was a rich, crunchy and dense dessert. And one of…
