Bacon-Wrapped, Stuffed Jalapeno’s, BBQ, And UK!!
This weekend, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, was a day surely to be repeated as an annual event for the King Family. We decided to fore-go the traditional Thanksgiving Day Turkey and Ham and smoke a beef brisket. The brisket (with a simple BBQ rub) was on the smoker starting at noon, just about the time the Kentucky Wildcats Football Team started their victory march against Tennessee, breaking...

Crock-Pot Country Ribs and Sauerkraut
Autumn and Winter are my favorite times of year to cook. Sure, cooking an all-grilled meal is a staple of summer. And, yes, a Low Country Boil spread out on newspapers, and shared with friends, is a wonderful way to spend an evening in the back yard. But, braises, roasts, chili, and in this case, a slow simmered crock-pot meal is the bees-knees if you ask me. If you don’t use your crock-pot very...

Roasted Potato, Country Bacon and Chedder Cheese Soup
Who wants soup? You’ll be smackin yo mama upside the head to get to this bowl. I started on this recipe a couple years back, and went all over the place with it before returning back to a simplistic recipe. I tried heavy cream, sour cream, butter, buttermilk – they all tasted good. But I wanted good tasting and I made it low fat too! Woo hoo! Well, except for the bacon. I’ve...

Country Ham Sliders
As the holidays fast approach, I wanted to focus on some traditional ingredients in a not-so-traditional way. Country Ham is a salt-cured product that is sometimes smoked and aged for 2-3 years. It has a uniquely salty flavor that when paired with other flavors, can be a great addition or the star in a dish. For my take on this, I started with sliced country ham steaks from Browning’s Country...

(Photo by: J.W. Simmons) This is one of my favorite breakfast recipes—and it’s very simple to prepare. It’s perfect for a quick breakfast on the go, brunch, or having breakfast outside on a nice Spring or Fall morning. A couple of bacon cups, some fruit and a cup of coffee is a perfect way to start the day—or relax on a Sunday morning. This recipe is as easy as it looks so here we go: White...

Terri’s Death Casserole
We named this dish lovingly as a tongue-in-cheek homage to my mother’s casserole she bakes and gives to families who have experienced a loss. In the great tradition of cooking a homemade dish and giving it to the suffering family, this has been her go-to staple and I am now passing it on to you! Also, at the end is a few notes on how it has changed into quick and easy dish for our family...

Halupkies: They Don’t Call it Pennsyltucky For Nothin’.
Being married to a person from Eastern Pennsylvania has introduced the Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine element to my repertoire. Whether it’s halupkies, pierogies, just about anything else that ends in “ies”, or the 147 uses for kielbasa I really like this kind of cooking. It’s simple but very flavorful. (I do have to disclose that I didn’t cook this dish–Whitney...

Whitney’s (Cavan’s wife) Meatloaf
”Meatloaf, Smeatloaf, Double-Beatloaf” I gotta admit my wife Whitney makes the best meatloaf that I’ve ever tasted. This has been about a 7-year project to perfect but now it’s as close to a perfect meatloaf you’re going to have and we’re happy to share with you all. 1 lb ground beef 1 lb ground pork 1/4 tsp of gelatin (The dry kind in the packet–this...
