Pesto linguine is one of my favourite pasta dishes. This is one of those super quick meals to make and I tend to prepare them during the week when I do not have lots of time. Cook the pasta, sauté the vegetables and stir them in some pesto – that’s it! I usually toss some cubes of cooked chicken breast …

Smoked shrimp – oh yeah! I had a smoker for a while before I ever smoked shrimp and that was my mistake. I had done ribs, chicken and salmon many times prior to smoking a tray of shrimp. But once I did smoke my first batch of shrimp, I have done it so many more times. This is a delicious …

Portobello mushrooms are one of those versatile vegetables that allow you to use them in many unique ways. Rich in flavour and meaty in texture, portobellos are easily one of my favourite mushrooms.

Greek souvlaki is one of those meals I could easily eat every week without ever complaining. It does not matter if it is lamb, chicken or pork souvlaki either, I will eat it all!

Local grocery stores would sell smoked turkey drumsticks or thighs and they are amazing for making soup. In fact, I have a recipe on my site for soup using smoked turkey leg – Crockpot Smoked Turkey Lentil Soup I have …

Over the years, I have discovered that one of my favourite things to smoke is a meatball. Ground meat lends itself very well to the smoker. Sure a meatball is not as exciting to BBQ as pork butt, brisket or ribs. But, smoked meatballs are super tasty and do take a fraction of the time in the smoker compared to …
