PREPARATION Pork shoulder Roast: Generously season all sides of the pork roast. Put the roast on the grill grate, fat-side up, and smoke for 3 hours, spraying with apple juice every hour after the first hour. Transfer to a disposable aluminum foil pan large enough to hold the roast. Increase the temperature to 250 degrees F, and roast for 6 to 8 additional hours, or until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part, but not touching bone, registers 190 degrees F. If the pork starts to brown too much, cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Carefully transfer the pork roast to a cutting board and let it rest for 20 minutes. Pour the juices from the bottom of the pan into a gravy separator. With your hands pull the pork into pieces. Season with additional rub and moisten with the reserved pork juice. (Discard any fat that has floated to the top of liquid. Add barbecue sauce, if desired, and mix well. PREPARATION for Tri Tip: Season with Spade L Ranch seasoning and let it sit out…

Taking dinner to a dear friend who has spent the last two weeks at the hospital with her baby. Hoping this flank steak fills up her hungry family! In a large ziplock bag add: Flank Steak 1/2 bottle of sesame soyaki sauce 3-4 gloves of chopped garlic 4 green onions, chopped Marinate the meat for at least 2-3 hours. Pull it out of the fridge so it gets to room temperature before you put it on the grill or Traeger. Grill on high (425) with the Traeger for about 6 minutes on one side and 2-3 on the other for medium rare. The best part about this recipe is the salsa that is homemade by.. Trader Joes and tastes amazing on steak. Have the salsa at room temperature and mix with a little red pepper for some kick and green onions to garnish the top. THAT WAS TOO EASY!

This is a healthier take on CREAMED SPINACH but you’re welcome to do a full fat version too. In 2 Tb EVOO sauté 2-3 chopped garlic cloves and 1/2 diced sweet yellow onion. After 5-7 minutes add 2 containers frozen spinach (thawed and drained). Cook through. Add a 1/3 C low fat cream cheese, dash of fresh nutmeg, and a healthy shake of S&P. Once cooked through add 3/4 (about..) 2% milk and simmer until liquid is cooked through. Add 1/2 C grated parmesan at the very end of cooking. Add more S&P if needed. BURGER- I used 96% extra lean ground beef. To raw meat I added 1/4 C Worcestershire sauce and S&p. Cook in a skillet until medium rare (it will keep cooking). Add 1/2-1 C of beef broth to the pan the burgers were cooked in and deglaze and reduce drippings and broth. TOAST good white bread and lightly butter. Add burger, creamed spinach and top with Trader Joes Fried Onion pieces.

Store-bought pizza dough, I think Whole Foods has the best one. Slather with EVOO and put directly on the grill or Traeger. Romaine and Red leaf lettuce Traeger grilled green onions and asparagus cut up TJ frozen corn heated through tomatoes Grated Parmesan Grilled Filet – coat with EVOO and your favorite rub. I like seasoned salt and pepper. Let sit to room temperature then grill until medium rare. Let sit for 10 minutes and slice thinly. / I used my red wine vinaigrette dressing that’s in a previous post.
