When I go to restaurants, I usually order steak if it’s on the menu…. That is, unless there is also beef wellington on the menu. This is one of those dishes that is steak, but it is so much more than that. This rich buttery pastry wrapped steak will melt in your mouth and also provide a distinct crunch when it’s done right. It is the perfect combination of savoury with a little bit of sweetness. This dish was named after the first Duke of Wellington, but I think it’s a meal fit for a king or queen.

Corn bread goes with so many things! I love a good corn bread with all forms of barbecue, but also with Chili, soup, stew and more. It’s also super easy to make and it is ready fast. So next time you are throwing down some amazing que, consider putting a cast iron of this fluffy bread on there to make it the ultimate comfort meal.

Decorative pumpkins can be so much more than decoration if you learn to use the parts that most people throw away. Pumpkin seeds are super slimy and gross to take out of the pumpkin, but kids love doing it. After a little rinse, some drying and seasoning, they are amazing roasted on your smoker! So don’t throw away the seeds, follow this recipe to have a delicious and healthy snack.

I love smoked sausage, if I am ever going to a smokehouse for dinner I always get the sausage as one of my meats. I also love bacon, ever since I won the Canadian bacon championships its been a passion of mine to include bacon with all sorts of dishes. When you combine bacon and sausage you really pump up the flavours of both meats, so I recommend giving it a try.

Rack of lamb is one of those decadent dishes that always catches my attention at a restaurant and occasionally lures me away from the steak selection of a menu. That is, until I learned to cook it at home. I believe the most difficult part of cooking rack of lamb is Frenching the bones. Luckily for you, most butchers and even Costco do this for you. French bones are when about 2 inches of meat and connective tissue is removed from the bones, essentially giving you little tomahawk chops of lamb.

Queso is a very popular Mexican style cheese dip. It literally means “Cheese” in Spanish, but this dip is so much more than just cheese. I’ve always been a fan of Tostitos Queso dip out of the jar; in fact I can tell when my wife is really happy with me because she will buy me some at the grocery store. The home-made stuff is even better though, and you can mix it up with your own mix of flavours and spice as well. Don’t be afraid to try your own mix here, the way we do it is the way we like it, but you can easily add or subtract from the ingredients list to make it your own.
