These lamb and beef kebabs come together in no time with simple ingredients but they are PACKED with flavor that you're gonna love!

Lamb & Beef Kebabs

Lamb & beef kebabs are packed with fresh ingredients and packed. with. flavor! I have had kebabs before. I don’t live under a rock. But I’ve actually never made them before. Until now. And I’m totally kicking myself in the ass because really, I’ve been missing out. I hate it when that happens. These lamb and beef kebabs are so easy to put together. Yes, there’s some fresh ingredients you need to chop but not too much. The fresh bits make it though and they really shine in this. It is truly a flavor explosion in the best possible way.…

Instant Pot BBQ Brisket

BBQ brisket.  In the pressure cooker.  I know, I know.  It’s not low and slow, which is totally how I dig my brisket.  But…It’s hot. And sometimes I just want a brisket – it’s a thing in our family.  You fire the smoker up, you put a big ass brisket on early in the morning, sit around and shoot the horse pucky and have a bit of beer.  I mean, it takes a long time to smoke a brisket so you gotta do something. But like I said, right now it’s just too hot for all that and look! ……

Cabbage, cheese, ground beef - all baked up for the perfect crowd pleaser!

Cabbage Casserole

Cabbage casserole … Not very glamorous, I know.  It’s sounds, well, like cabbage and it looks worse. But it’s one of those things.  Those ugly, ugly foods that are beautiful deep down inside.  I embrace ugly foods.  We should all embrace ugly foods! The ingredients are simple and even include a can of cream of mushroom soup, which to be honest, I try to stay away from.  But not always. I could not be lazy and make my own, but…life happens. And when I’m making this, it’s usually for a group of people. If I’m cooking for a group, you…

Delicious BBQ spaghetti to dehydrate for your next hiking adventure! Or serve it up to the kiddos tonight for dinner!

Alabama Style BBQ Spaghetti – Backpacking Meal or Tonight’s Dinner

I’m getting ready guys. I’m just waiting for the weather to ease up a bit (it was 92 here yesterday and hot as the devil’s balls), so I can head out in the woods for a week. While I’m waiting, I’m getting my food situation together. Nothing against store bought dehydrated meals.  I’m a big fan of Heather’s Choice for her delicious, nutritious meals.  I love PackitGourmet – the chicken and dumplings and gumbo are seriously delicious.  I’ll even throw in a Mountain House meal every now and then.  But it gets old.  And unless it’s Heather’s Choice, after a few…
