Pete's Smoked Sweet Baked Beans

My husband makes scrumptious baked beans on the smoker. In just a few simple steps he enhances the flavor of canned baked beans.You will love the sweetness of the additional brown sugar along with chunks of homemade smoked pork and the woody smoke flavor. They also become thick and creamy during the smoking process.

Spaghetti Pie

This Spaghetti Pie is an absolutely scrumptious dish and lovely when plated. It is also fairly easy to make, extremely tasty and filling. A nice comfort recipe which is hard to resist!

Cowboy Chili

I haven't cooked a steak chili in years, but it has always been my favorite so I set off to recreate my recipe. Why? Because I am the kind of cook that never writes down her recipes and puts them together as I go. I know a lot of you do the same thing.
My chili has to be spicy and full of meat. I like a chili that's flavors and spices are layered throughout each bite. This chili is packed with the smokiness of the roasted peppers and the tenderness of the chuck roast.
This time I wrote the recipe down and am sharing it with you. I hope you all try it.
Come on, grab a spoon and dig in!

Stir Fried Rice with Grilled Teriyaki Shrimp and Pineapple

This past summer I was on a grilled shrimp and pineapple kick fixing them on skewers, combining them with grilled steak, baked potatoes, etc. However, I still like the standard Shrimp and Fried Rice so I decided I would just add my favorite grilled shrimp and pineapple to fried rice. It is such a quick, tasty, filling and easy main dish who wouldn't add this to their list of standard recipes to make for lunch and dinner.

Mushroom Fettuccine Bake

Serves 8 

I love this comfort meal chocked full of portobellos, hamburger, three types of cheese and fettuccine noodles. Who can resist!

Ever wonder what to do with the left over rice? Stir fry makes an excellent dinner for the whole family.  All you need is some onions, peppers, mushrooms, ham and eggs. Stir Fry this in a wok and your dinner is ready.

Refried Black Beans

Warmed up today in Florida but kind of cloudy so I needed to brighten up my late lunch/dinner. I'm grilling Mahi Mahi. Needing a side dish, I decided to do Refried Black Beans and grill my Ciabatta bread. Oh Yeah!! With some of my Pineapple Salsa for relish. Looking Brighter out there. I think a Pinot Grigio will go well....uncork and yum.
