Chicken Kabob

Did these a few nights ago. The wife is getting fed up (no pun intended) with my love affair for smoked and fried food (not to mention all the sweets lately as I've really stepped it up with the baked goods). Boneless skinless chicken breast cubed, marinated for two hours in lemon juice, black pepper, Greek seasoning (Cavender's) and garlic powder. Grilled with red and green bell and red onion. All veggies brushed with seasoned balsamic vinegar. Served on a bed of rice. Enjoy!

Fresh Fish Is The Best Fish

Chris H of Lombard checks in again, this time with Salmon:

here's a picture of dinner last night. My wife marinated the salmon in her own teriyaki mix and I grilled to perfection. The salmon was sent by my brother in law Jim when he was at the Pikes place fish market in Seattle, Wa.  This fish was still swimming a few days ago!  What a difference between this fish and what finally gets to market here.  Needless to say, this was the best salmon I've ever prepared.....

AMEN to that brother, reminds me of our trips to the Great Lakes up in Canada as a kid.  We'd catch bass, clean them on the rocks on cook them up for lunch....all in the span of a couple of hours.... nothing better.


'nother great one from Chris, thanks!

Spencer Checks In

Spencer B down in TN sent this one in... I have a feeling he'll be a regular around here.....

Lemon and Garlic pork Tenderloin on the grill.  Yes, a gas grill... charcoal got wet, but it's still delicious.  Perfect temperature and moist.  It melts in your mouth.  Served with Scalloped potatoes, broccoli and cheese and cheese sticks.

 

This is my first submission!  Yes!  The Grill is ON!

 

It sure is my friend, thanks!

Old Faithful

AKA pork butt. About 10 hrs using hickory soaked in apple juice. Rubbed down with kosher salt, cracked black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, marjoram, mustard seed powder, paprika, and Anaheim chile powder. Served on buns topped with homemade sauce. Got to love that smoke ring!!!! For dessert was a four layer coconut cake.
Enjoy!

Doing homemade Italian beef for the Big Game. What's everybody else doing?

Wood is Good, Part Deux

Stuffed Chicken Breasts from Walt's, grilled on oak planks. The asparagus was a last-minute idea, with nothing except a little non-stick, kosher salt, and lemon slices on top. Served aside some basmati rice with garlic and sun-dried tomatoes mixed in.  We'll do this one again!!

Boneless ribs!?!??!

So as I was trying to figure out what to
make tonight, I stumbled upon these. Boneless baby back ribs. My first reaction(though yes I've seen them before) was to say aloud, boneless baby back ribs??? My initial thought was the obvious, "no bone = no flavor". Then I did a double take when I asked myself if that in of itself was enough of a reason to pass on them as I have always done. Let me say I'm sure I glad I second guessed myself. So they took a bath in equal parts apple cider vinegar and apple juice along with some kosher salt for good measure. Rubbed down with sugar, kosher salt, cracked pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme powder, mustard seed powder, and paprika. Finished with a homemade apple cider vinegar/ketchup based sauce. Served with Old fashioned homemade cornbread in cast iron skillet (also done on the grill but finished in oven to brown top). Enjoy!
