Smoking salmon is one of the most amazing recipes I make. I smoke salmon all the time and it seems like almost any time I have the smoker going, I am looking to throw in a fillet of salmon. I have prepared salmon many different ways before throwing it in the smoker. I have tried a wet brine and dry brine. …

Apple crumble aka apple crisp is one of my absolute favourite desserts. I love the fruity bottom and the sweet granola style top. It is best still warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The warmth of the crumble causes the ice cream to melt and ooze all over the dessert. Yup, I am drooling right …

Smoking beef ribs is a simple a delicious task. I have used this recipe in both my electric smoker and pellet smoker and the ribs have come out amazing both ways. Beef ribs are not one of the more common cuts of beef. When it comes to ribs, people tend to gravitate towards pork ribs, myself included. Even though I …

Chocolate chip banana muffins are an excellent way to use ripe bananas. We always seem to have a few bananas that have reached that level of ripeness where no one wants to eat them. It is at this stage when they are perfect for making muffins or banana bread. These bananas can even be thrown in the freezer and will be ready …

Kingsford® has been around for a long time and their charcoal and briquets are used by lots of BBQ grillers.

They grow and ship green …

Smoked almonds are one of those addictive snacks that are dangerous to put on the table. Over the years, I have smoked all sorts of nuts and they never last long. They are great on their own, or added to salads, candy brittle or other dishes. These taste so good and get gobbled up very quickly. Normally, I make smoked …

Pressure cooker pulled chicken is one of those recipes I just happened to try one day and, since then, it has become a family favourite. The Instant Pot is an ideal way to cook the chicken thighs so that they are moist, tender and very saucy. Each time I use my electric pressure cooker I become more in love with …

I have fallen in love with scones over the past few months! I don’t know why I did not make them much before, but recently, I have discovered not only how easy they are to prepare, but they taste incredible and are perfect for breakfast. I have made them a couple times so when the kids come home from school …

Even though I am developing a number of new recipes every week, I do always appreciate those ‘quick to make’ weeknight meals. With dance lessons, football practices, piano and drum classes, there are lots of evenings that we do not have lots of time to make a big meal. On those hectic days, I love those meals that can be …
