⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. I’ve always been confused on whether it’s pronounced doughnut or do-nut. Regardless, was craving so did make. This recipe has a nice subtle honey flavor. Doesn’t quite hit the same as yeast doughnuts, but I hate frying, so a good substitute.

Story time: Today for lunch my oldest son stayed home from school and asked me if I could make some spicy honey shrimp. I of course said yes and I was so happy to hear him say he wanted me to cook for him. The reason why I was happy is because it dawned on me that he’s 17 now and will be graduating this year. It’s bittersweet to think he’ll be off in college making his own meals or going out to eat without the family. I’m actually really excited for him to start a new chapter but it’s just...

If brisket is more or less the Cadillac of BBQ smoking, pork tenderloin is the ultra reliable VW of BBQ. At least once a month I smoke a group of pork tenderloins for my family that last us a few days. The prep and cook is overall one of the easiest you can do, and from the time you start the cook to ready-to-serve is 1.5 to 2 hours. This allows you to have a life the day of the cook! The Prep My wife normally likes to hit Costco for the bulk proteins I’ll end up making for the...

Brandied cherries Every August I wait patiently for these beautiful maroon orbs to show up at our farm stands. It’s a fruit we don’t grow here in Maine. I got hooked on these a few years ago when an old friend from Montana sent me a jar. I’m not really a cherry pie eater, but fell in love with these brandied cherries after my first taste.
