I needed a vegetable dish to go with my Chicken Breast on the Pellet Grill. I had fresh patty pan summer squash and tomatoes from my garden. When you have great flavours like that you have the makings of a great easy dish. Continue reading Summer Squash and Tomatoes
I am still learning how to use my Louisiana Grills pellet smoker and I am having a lot of fun. One of the fellows at Smoking Meat Forums, Goliath, has owned a Louisiana Grills smoker for a while. He told me the grill was amazing at doing skinless boneless chicken breasts. That would be a bonus because they are hard to cook without getting them rubbery. Here is my first attempt. Continue reading Chicken Breast on the Pellet Smoker
In a previous post, I spoke about our Aviation Disaster, we ran out of Aviation Gin. My friend, Heather, had brought us some from the big city but it wasn’t available in our local liquor store. The search was on! Fortunately, the local BC Liquor Store manager ordered a case of Aviation gin so we could get some and now the store has it in stock. We were rescued. We had to come up with a cocktail to celebrate. Welcome to the Aviation Search and Rescue. Continue reading Aviation Search and Rescue
The best test for a smoker is spareribs in my opinion. Can it get them done just right with bite off the bone texture as opposed to fall from the bone? Is there a good smoke taste that isn’t too strong? Well, I have my new Louisiana Grills Pellet Smoker and I decided to give ribs a try. Continue reading Ribs on the Pellet Smoker
I loved lemonade when I was a kid. A friend’s mother used to make pink lemonade from real lemons. I don’t know the recipe but it was a real treat. We had enough Aviation gin left for one more cocktail. It was a wonderful warm day. It was time to experiment. Continue reading Aviation Wing Commander Collins
On the first cook on my Louisiana Grills Pellet Smoker, I made Pepper Cornbread which I have already posted. At the same time, I made some Sweet Tequila Chicken Thighs. I have made a sweet tequila sauce before but I changed it up a bit to make it a glaze for the thighs this time. Continue reading Sweet Tequila Thighs
My first cook on the new Louisiana Grills smoker was chicken thighs and Peppered Cornbread. I will post the chicken thighs in the next post. Continue reading Pepper Cornbread
Since posting this and the update, you need to know:
In my prior reviews and posts, I have recommended my Louisiana Grills LG900 and it gave me two years of great service. However, since the start of this season, the pellets in the hopper that feed the smoker have caught fire three times. I feel you need this information considering my prior recommendation.

Louisiana Grills LG900 Pellet Smoker, Update Review
I saved my nickels and dimes, was very nice to She Who Must Be Obeyed, and treated myself to a new smoker. The Bradley had done 3 years of yeomen service and had made much great food. However, its inability to get to higher temperatures finally got to me and I bought a Louisiana Grills LG900 pellet smoker. Continue reading Louisiana Grills LG900 Pellet Smoker
The last cocktail we made when Heather and Bill came over with the bottle of Aviation gin was one we made up by experimentation. We had to taste and try several variations until we came up with the one we really liked. Sigh, the things I do for you, my readers. Continue reading Aviation Wild Blue Yonder
When we had Heather and Bill over, we made an old dish that has been around for decades. It is one of those old recipes that use canned tomato soup. Most are kind of dodgy but this one is great. There is a reason it has stood the test of time and we feel it was good enough to make for guests. The recipe is Copper Pennies and is a dish of marinated carrots. Continue reading Copper Pennies
