For this cook I bought …

Whole Smoked Gator Recipe Y’all know I’m all about learning how to cook just about anything on the smoker or grill. Alligator is one animal that I never would have attempted on my own.

“The Big Mon” Jerk Burger Recipe For this burger recipe I channel my inner Bob Marley to bring a taste of Caribbean vibes to the grill.

Herb Crusted Beef Tenderloin Recipe For this recipe I start with a PSMO whole beef tenderloin. You can save some money by buying the tenderloin whole and trimming it yourself.

Barbecue Chicken Recipe Sometimes you just need a good old Barbecue Chicken fix. This recipe takes me back to those family 4th of July BBQ’s where the grill was slap-full of what seemed like endless pieces of smokey, glazed chicken goodness. Cooking barbecue chicken is really easy. All you need is a grill or smoker set up for indirect cooking …
Barbecue Baked Beans Recipe My mom was always in charge of making the beans for our family barbecues, and this recipe reminds of the barbecue baked beans she made.
