If you made your own Sourdough Biscuits and Mountain Man Sausages, you could be having this for breakfast. You could even put a fried egg on it.
Just saying.

Cabela’s Open Season Pecan Honey Seasoning Mix
Cabela’s Open Season Pecan Honey Seasoning Mix is the third of the three seasoning mixes I was given for Christmas. I generously rubbed it into two pork chops and grilled them over medium high heat to an internal temperature of 160 F. You can cook pork to as low as 145 F but She Who Must Be Obeyed doesn’t like even a touch of pink in her pork. Continue reading Cabela’s Open Season Pecan Honey Seasoning Mix
Molasses Back (Canadian) Bacon
I have blogged a lot about how easy it is to cook good food. However, some projects require time and effort. The results are usually worth it and I have fun in the process. Back bacon is
one of those projects. If you aren’t a foodie like me who enjoys the process, you might want to get your back bacon in the supermarket. Continue reading Molasses Back (Canadian) Bacon

Rum and Coke Ribs, A Christmas Season Experiment
It is the weekend before Christmas and She Who Must Be Obeyed wanted glazed back ribs I normally do a maple glaze but I was out of maple syrup. Going into town on the weekend before Christmas is scarier than a mother in law so it was time to improvise. I like an
occasional enhanced soda pop this time of year so I decided to make Rum and Coke Ribs. Continue reading Rum and Coke Ribs, A Christmas Season Experiment
Mountain Man Sausage
I usually make my breakfast sausage with a recipe from the Smoking Meats Forum. Pops is a legend there and has inspired many great dishes. His sausage recipe is at this link:

Pork Roast and Roast Potatoes. How Long Does a Good Meal Take?
We found a 750 gram (2 pound) boneless pork rib roast on sale at our local supermarket. She Who Must Be Obeyed said she wanted roast potatoes with gravy. This raised several problems:
• A pork rib roast has very little fat.
• Roast potatoes require fat to brown up.
• Gravy requires drippings to make a great gravy flavour. Continue reading Pork Roast and Roast Potatoes. How Long Does a Good Meal Take?
Bacon on a Stick
This is a recipe that was inspired by several postings on Smoking Meat Forums. It is spareribs cured like bacon and glazed like ham to make Bacon On A Stick. It has the great texture of ribs, the wonderful taste of bacon and the sweet crust of ham. Who could ask for more! Well, actually, everyone asks for more of these. Continue reading Bacon on a Stick
Canadian Andouille
I love smoked cured sausage but it is so high in fat. At least the stuff I make myself is a little lower in salt and fat.
Andouille is made in different ways in countries around the world. My recipe is based on a Cajun style adjusted for my mild Canadian taste buds. It is moderately spicy with a nice onion, garlic finish.
If you would like to see more details on how I made it, you can seem my post on the Smoking Meat Forums. Continue reading Canadian Andouille
Smoked Picnic Shoulder
This was originally posted on November 22, 2013. It is being reposted due to a catastrophic back up failure by my web host.
This dish is not technically a ham. A ham comes from the shank portion. However it tastes, looks and cooks like a ham. Continue reading Smoked Picnic Shoulder
