Sloppy Joes

By Jeanette Ryan | March 21, 2021

I have fond memories of Sloppy Joes. This recipe is a better version, with a lot of flavor and a little spice, but still reminiscent of my childhood memories.

We have adopted the Keto diet (most of the time), so I developed this great chili recipe. The veggies and spice more than make up for no beans! Top this Keto friendly chili with your choice of grated cheddar cheese, green onions and/or sour cream.

Rich’s Smokin’ Chili

By Richard Land | June 1, 2017

Whenever we smoke a beef brisket, we go large and there’s usually leftovers, so the next day, we’re putting together a batch of Smokin’ Chili.

Chinese Chicken Salad

This salad serves 30, so it’s great for a crowd or will keep for a couple of days without dressing.

White Smoked Pulled Pork Chili

We smoke a lot of pulled pork at our house. I thought the leftovers would go well in a white chili, so gave it a try. It has become one of our favorite soups. If you don’t have smoked pulled pork, you can add shredded chicken instead. I also used this recipe after Thanksgiving, substituting…
