Smoked Lamb Meatballs are jam-packed with flavor and a offer an awesome way to jazz up any pita sandwich! I never thought I’d be such a lamb fan. We never ate it growing up so I guess I was always a little weary of it. But I’ve really grown to love and appreciate it’s distinct…

Glazed BBQ Chicken
Let’s talk about chicken for a moment. We have become huge fans of chicken on the smoker. Though it hasn’t always been the case. Sean, for example, was never much of a chicken fan until I forced him to eat it over and over because one cannot live off beef alone. True story. Now I…
Grilled Cod Fillet with Chimichurri and Grilled Romaine
Sean’s going to hate me for sharing this, but we’ve come to an agreement that there is such thing as too much meat. Beef to be exact. We’ve been on a meat overload the last few weeks and need a break. I love you beef, but we seriously need a break! We’ve also been swaying…

Reverse Food & Wine Pairing: Sbragia Cabernet Sauvignon with Flank Steak
More often than not when it comes to food and wine pairing it’s just that — food, and then the wine. “We’re having this killer grilled salmon for dinner, what wine should we pair with it?” But sometimes you find a wine (or in this case two) that is so interesting that you create a meal…
3 Course Grilled Salmon Dinner at Home on Wine4.Me

Thanksgiving on the Grill or Smoker!
We’ve been cooking Thanksgiving dinner outdoors on our grill and smoker for almost a decade now and wouldn’t do it any other way. I’m going to let you in on a little secret – I hate my oven. It is the absolute worst feature in our house. It’s tiny, like barely even 18 inches wide, and…
