I like to make a pastrami a couple of times of year - We had a pretty good coupon from Snake River Farms so we ordered a brisket. This is the first time I ordered a brisket directly from them - They do have them at our grocery on occasion, but they are typically just the flat - I wasn't sure...

As requested per @Joan here.... traditionally, Kung Pao Chicken is prepared with chicken and peanuts - We had some nice asparagus and shiitakes, so we imposed a little artistic license, and 86'ed the nuts and went with veggies. Here’s how it went down: Marinate: 1.5 lbs Chicken Thighs for...

With the kickoff of Smoke Day Weekend upon us, we wanted to start with something a little lighter - kung pao chicken is one our go-to Friday night dinners - Chopped up veggies and diced / marinated some chicken thighs... Got the wok hot, and sizzled the chicken pieces... next the...

I saw @ChuckO 's leftover's strategy with the Philly Cheese Steaks and thought that was a pretty great idea! With that, I have direct from the 'Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery' file, our attempt. Doris baked some mini baguette's that we would use for our rolls: I stuck a hunk of...
