We took our BBQ to the next level by first brining our chicken for 18 hours, then smoking it for 3 hours, and finally topping it off with our one-of-a-kind smoked NC/TN BBQ sauce.

Our tri-tip is slow-smoked for 6 hours over hickory wood, allowing the meat to absorb the rich and smoky flavors, while our in-house rub adds a layer of complexity and depth to create a truly unforgettable culinary experience.

Tried some new recipes during this catering event. I like pushing myself and stepping outside my fire box. I made smoked chicken salad croissant sandwiches (still working on that name), smoked salmon salad lettuce scoops (working on that name too 😆), glazed smoked sausage bites topped with pineapple and smoked cheese, and tri-tip crostinis.

Dinner time! Just kept it simple with some shrimp tacos. Just freshly made tortillas, marinated chili lime shrimp and cilantro and onion. Just squeezed a little lime on top and they were delicious! Now that that life is slowing down a little bit, going to get back to some fun cooking!

More smoked salmon! This time I did a cold smoked salmon. Cured the salmon over night then smoked it for 8 hours. Put a light coat of my sweet bourbon BBQ sauce on it the last hour. Going to wrap it tight and let it rest in the fridge over night to let the smoked really get in to the salmon.

Made some salmon for tacos last night. Kept it simple, chili powder, onion and garlic powder, salt and lemon. Smoked it for two hours and paired it with some homemade corn tortillas!

Made some Christmas tree bread for Christmas morning! Any family tradition that has to do with food I’m all in!

Smoked prime rib for Christmas Eve! After trimming up this roast, I rendered all the fat that was removed and in crusted the prime rib with the rendered fat mixed with a merlot wine. Let it rest over night and put it on the smoker. Smoked it for about 5 hours. Turned out so juicy and tender! I like my prime rib on the rare side.

First time Iv done a breakfast catering. Was a little nervous but everything turned out delicious. I made some pastries, cinnamon rolls and breakfast tacos. I smoked some cheese and made my chipotle sauce. Looking forward to continuing to expanding my skills and stepping out of my my comfort zone.

First try at a smoked turkey and cheese “croissant”. I used a smoked turkey and then tried a few kinds of cheese. I tried Gruyère, provolone and a smoked Gouda. I definitely think the smoked Gouda was my favorite. I also did a jalapeño and extra sharp cheddar. Put an egg wash on before I baked them to get that nice golden color, then topped them with salt. Definitely will be making these again.

Made some spaghetti with a homemade marinara sauce with some garlic bread. I also tried to make some cheddar jalapeño biscuits with a sausage gravy. The flavor or the biscuits were amazing even though they flattened out a little bit.

Just some quick biscuits for breakfast. Really trying to expand on my cooking abilities and step out of my comfort zone. Baking has always been a weak skill of mine. Mainly because I hate measuring things out and cooking with someone else’s recipes. I’ve always hated the idea of making something that wasn’t my own creation. Even when I ask for help on a recipe I have always changed it to fit my style of cooking and to make it my own. But you just can’t do that with baking! Glad I have a sister who is a baker, because if I didn’t I’d be buying biscuits from the store!

Made a small steak for dinner last night. Smoked it for 3 hours and seared it off.
