I like getting my Omega-3s the old fashioned way – by eating fish! One of my favorites is to grilled wild caught salmon. Wild Atlantic salmon (6 oz. cooked) has 3,130 mg of EPA and DHA, and Wild Coho salmon (6 oz. cooked) has 1800 mg according to Nutrition Action Health Article: Omega Medicine? [...]

One thing that has impressed me about frugal cookbooks like Dollars to Donuts, The $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook and Family Feasts for $75 a Week is their back to basics, DIY approach to barbecue sauce recipes and meat rubs that you’d normally buy at the store. Not only is it cheaper to make them yourself, [...]

When our 10-year-old Masterbuilt propane gas smoker died, I wanted to buy a replacement for my husband for Father’s Day that I would feel comfortable using as well. I wanted an electric smoker since I was uncomfortable using gas ones since I was certain that I was going to burn down the deck. It was [...]

Now that summer has finally arrived in the Mile High State, it’s grilling season. I’ve been taking advantage of it by firing up the grill every chance I get – even during the day when I eat lunch on the back deck. (One of the advantages of working from home!) However, it got me thinking [...]

After a coworker’s cookout, I’m a big fan of lamb on the grill. This recipe is from Grill!: Quick And Delicious Recipes for Indoor And Outdoor Grilling by Pippa Cuthbert & Lindsay Cameron Wilson.

Maybe I’m spoiled, but as a kid I grew up eating lamb (not pork) chops. So I take advantage of any chance I have to eat lamb, whether it’s at a restaurant or when lamb is on sale at the grocery store. Last week’s Denver Post food section featured award winning lamb recipes from the [...]

We’re having a party for Big Bad Dad’s coworkers on Friday to celebrate a successful delivery of product by their group. Wanting something tasty and easy to grill, we chose to grill up some carne asada and mahi mahi fish to serve along with taco fixings. My brother-in-law Mark emailed us his carne asada recipe. [...]

Big Bad Dad forwarded this recipe from a work colleague who claims it’s very easy to make. The recipe’s author claims to have cooked this recipe in a single saucepan over a charcoal BBQ while camping. He said it took an hour from prep to finish. Since the actual cooking time seems short, it does [...]

Big Bad Dad had a barbecue party for his coworkers at our house a little over a week ago. Big Dave, a Kansas City native, brought his electric smoker over and cooked pork ribs. He also grilled barbecue chicken for our guests who didn’t eat pork. BBD decided to make pulled pork based on Alton [...]

Big Bad Dad recently went fishing in Mexico and brought back pounds and pounds of dolphin/dorado (aka Mahi Mahi). However, we still had two large packages of fish from last year and were tired of cooking it the way I always do: Put fish in pan, cover with salsa or canned tomatoes and chilis and [...]

This is what we had for dinner the other night. Big Bad Dad caught the big one and Monkey Boy the little one. They’re from Steamboat Lake and the flesh is pinker than salmon because the trout eat crawfish. I cooked them with Old Bay spice, onions, lemon and lime juice and butter. They were [...]
