Baked Salmon with Vegetable Fried Rice
Great way to use up those aging fresh vegetables in your refrigerator is to use them with a generic Fried Rice recipe. Stir Fried some vegies (Asparagus, Onions, Celery, Red Bell Peppers, and Mushrooms) with cooked rice. Accompanied the stir fried vegetable rice with a 4 ounce serving of baked Salmon using Kikkoman Teriyaki Baste & Glaze with Honey & Pineapple. The Salmon was oven baked at 400ºF for 14 minutes (until it flaked easily with a fork or the internal temperature reached 140ºF)
Wood Pellet Grilled BBQ Chicken Thighs
What’s finer than Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Chicken Thighs on a MAK 2 Star Wood Pellet BBQ Smoker-Grill? Not much but a Shrimp stuffed Chicken Thigh comes awfully close!!

Here’s how to fix a BBQ and Stuffed Chicken Thighs served with sautéed Brussels Sprouts/Mushrooms and fried O’Brien Potatoes. Read More
Shrimp Stuffed Apple Smoked Pork Loin Chops
What could be more delectable than a Shrimp stuffed Center Cut Pork Loin Chop Hickory smoked to perfection? Why purchase boneless Pork Chops at your local Butcher or Grocery Store when you can custom slice your own? Visited my local Costco and noticed that their 2″ center cut Pork Chops were about $1.40 more a pound than their Pork Loin. Spoke to the Butcher and discovered that I can cut my own Center Cut Boneless Pork Chops from the Pork Loin. Purchased a 10 pound Pork Loin and processed it into two 3 lb Pork Loin Roasts and 5 meals of 1 inch Pork Chops (2 per package). Buying in bulk and vacuum sealing the various cuts will save you $$ and ease your food budget. Read More
Sweet Baby Ray’s Hickory Smoked St Louis Style Pork Ribs
Killer Hickory smoked St Louis Style Pork Ribs slathered with Original Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce. I use the same recipes and techniques when I BBQ Baby Back or St Louis ribs. The only difference between the two in my opinion is that the St Louis Ribs will take a little more time because they are larger and tougher.
3 Recipes for under $10 using Costco Rotisserie Chicken
If you’ve never bought a Costco Rotisserie Chicken then you’re missing a real treat. Not only are they HUGE but they’re delicious. Learned from an employee that their Chickens (on the West Coast) are fresh birds exclusively provided to them by Foster Farms. If you price a fresh whole chicken you’ll see that you’ll be hard pressed to buy a chicken today for under $5 and that doesn’t include your time and fuel (BBQ pit, oven, etc) to cook one.
When we visit Costco I make it a point to pick up one of two Rotisserie Chickens to eat that day or pull for recipes that require cooked chicken. Here’s 3 scrumptious recipes, Asparagus & Chicken Casserole, Chicken Vegetable Soup, and Twice Baked Chicken Potatoes that are sure to please and satisfy your family without hurting your pocketbook!
