Pancetta Zucchini Quiche

This quiche fits right in, offering up a luscious, robust bite that is sure to encourage that mid morning nap.

Smoked Brisket
In my opinion, a well smoked brisket is the pinnacle of outdoor cooking - no other cook produces results better than the brisket when investing quality time and effort. Brisket can be an easy process, even if it takes a while to produce. In this recipe, I use two of my spice blends and a PitBoss pellet grill using cherry and oak pellets to make a delicious meal that will feed my family and friends for the week.

Roasted Mustard Maple Glazed Carrots
The bite of mustard, the sweet note of maple and the tang of red wine vinegar combine to make one hell of a glaze, taking these carrots to the next level. Normally, in the circles I run in, carrots are not the highlight of a meal, rather an oft overlooked side piece used more for a pop of color than banging flavor. Fork tender, slightly sweet, tart, and packing a slight heat, these carrots stole the show.
