This recipe was an invention for a rainy and cool day today, and it turned out delicious. I had some beef stew meat from ButcherBox in our freezer that we needed to eat, and this turned out to be a great way to do that! Be careful not to add the cabbage too soon, because …

Log: Perfectly Cooked Salmon
I cooked salmon on the grill along with asparagus tonight. Both turned out virtually perfect. “Perfect Salmon” (CC BY 2.0) by Wesley Fryer I preheated the RecTeq RT-700 Bull smoker to 400 degrees while I was shopping tonight, which gave it about 30 minutes to come up to temperature. At Sprouts Grocery I purchased a full fillet of …
Brisket Jalapeño Poppers
I’ve cooked jalapeño poppers several different ways, but this is our family favorite! It’s also my favorite way to eat leftover beef brisket! Shout out to Firebirds Meat Market in Oklahoma City, where I learned jalapeño poppers can become SO MUCH better with a little brisket inside! Shout out also to Matt of Meat Church’s …
Ham and Pepper Quiche
We love holiday food traditions, and Easter is no exception. Often for Easter dinner we enjoy a menu including ham, potato casserole, pistachio mallow salad, and a fruit salad. This year we’re staying with some of those staples for dinner, but after church we had a delicious quiche recipe. “Ham & Pepper Quiche” (CC BY 2.0) by Wesley …
Log: Smoker Pizza
Heating up a frozen pizza does not qualify as “cooking” for some people, but we’ve been experiencing with both homemade pizzas and store-bought frozen pizzas as a quick after-church Sunday lunch for a few months. Results have been good, so I’ll document and share what we’ve been doing and like the best now. Costco has …
Favorite BBQ Rubs & Seasonings
Here are some of my favorite rubs and seasonings I use for backyard barbecue as well as other dishes I like to cook. Most of these are available at Champion BBQ Supply here in Oklahoma City. The best source (because of supply chain issues I think) for Meat Church rubs is Buc-ees gas stations down …
Carolina Style Grilled Chicken
Truth be told, I have no idea if this is how Carolina-style smoked chicken really / officially tastes. But I found this barbecue sauce at our local Champion BBQ Supply Store in Oklahoma City, and it turned out great! One of the employees recommended the Piggy Bank Pork & Rib Rub, so I tried them …
Cleaning Smoker Grill Grates
Cleaning your outdoor smoker or grill gates can be a pain but is very important. This is a 14 minute tutorial video (“Cleaning Smoker Grill Grates with an Overnight Soak”) on how I clean the VERY dirty grates on my RecTeq RT-700 Bull smoker periodically using the $13 “Carbona 2-In 1 Oven Rack & Grill …
Roasted Shishito Peppers
Many thanks to my mom, Angie Fryer, for sharing this recipe with me! We had this a few months ago when we were in Manhattan for a visit. These are SO GOOD!
This is a modification of the “Roasted Shishito Peppers” recipe by Sonja Overhiser. The difference is instead of kosher salt, this recipe uses Traeger rub. (We’re reducing salt intake in our diet.)
