Pan Seared Salmon with Sautéed Vegetables

By Leave a Comment

We write a lot about barbecuing and our favorite recipes, but I want to take some time in the next few weeks to share some healthy, delicious meals that we enjoy preparing at home. I’ve had quiet a few of you reach out asking for simple, healthy meals that you can prepare in your own kitchen. A very easy crowd pleaser is pan seared salmon with sautéed vegetables. While you can choose whichever veggies you’d like, I normally like to do sweet potato, onion, mushrooms, and sometimes some zucchini together. This recipe is filling and only requires a few ingredients.

Short Rib Tacos

By Leave a Comment

Taco Tuesdays call for margaritas and mariachi music. It’s one of our favorite excuses to bring everyone together and make great food during the week. After falling in love with our braised beef short ribs with rustic root vegetables, we decided to try a new take on our short rib and make them for tacos. This was a favorite. I am happy to say we were scraping the pans clean to make more tacos as the night went on.

Braised Beef Short Ribs With Rustic Root Vegetables

By Leave a Comment

Sundays when we throw some logs in the fireplace, turn music on, and spend hours carefully crafting our dinner together are my favorite. The house is warm and smells like savory herbs and wine as they meld together on the stove and the backyard is filled with the aroma of BBQ. This past weekend we picked up some beautiful short ribs and rustic root vegetables for dinner. The short ribs are hearty and work perfectly if you’re in the mood for a savory meal. The root vegetables pair nicely with the meat and provide a nice earthy quality to the dish. We look forward to transforming this into a stew in the future.

Grilled Lobster Tails + Herb Butter

By Leave a Comment

Surf and turf is a personal favorite of mine. During lobster season, sometimes we get lucky bring home four or five tails for dinner. When we do, this is how we like to prepare the tails if we aren’t making something like lobster mac and cheese. If you’re in the mood to spoil yourself for dinner, pick up a few fresh lobster tails at your local butcher or supermarket and let’s get started. We will be using our Traeger Renegade Elite Wood Pellet Grill for this cook with a mix of pecan and cherry pellets from BBQr’s Delight.

Pork Belly Burnt End Rice Bowls with Poblano Corn Salad

By Leave a Comment

Pork belly burnt ends are delicious.  We love making these on the Treager Renegade Elite on a lazy Sunday to enjoy before our main course. Burnt ends are typically made from brisket, but we really enjoy this new trend using pork belly instead of Brisket for our burnt ends. They are very succulent, rich, and have great flavor by the end of the cook. These are a great appetizer or snack, but work well in main courses as well. We enjoy pork belly burnt ends over a bed of cilantro rice with a poblano corn salad, guacamole, fresh pico de gallo, and some veggies. Make sure to enjoy with a spicy margarita!

Veggie Stir Fry

By Leave a Comment

If I could have Chinese take out every single night, I probably would. We’re always searching for new ways to make health, Asian inspired dinners. We try to incorporate as many veggies as possible at dinner time. Sometimes we have the stir fried veggies on their own, or serve over a bed of white rice or pan-fried lo mien noddles. Enjoy!

Wood Fire Pizza On The Traeger

By Leave a Comment

Homemade pizza night was always one of my favorites growing up. The house smelled like fresh bread from making the dough in the bread machine. There’d be flour all over the kitchen counters while we rolled out the dough into perfect crusts and loaded them up with sauce, different kinds of cheese, meats, and veggies. It was always a great opportunity to spend time with our family and friends (and absolutely tasted better than ordering 2 medium pizzas for $10 down the street). You won’t be disappointed throwing these pizzas in the oven, but we like to use the BBQ every chance we get!
