    The Kitchen Bucket List

    Welcome to our kitchen, where we share easy, heartwarming recipes for the whole family to enjoy, from air fryer delights to BBQ favorites.

    Griddle

    A griddle is the perfect addition to your outdoor cooking. You can make an amazing breakfast to a savory flank Steak. Oh, and you can answer one of life’s great questions: which steak wins in ribeye vs New York strip?

    • Four Taco Bell breakfast crunchwraps on a wooden cutting board, browned perfectly, with one cut in half. You can see how the hashbrown is crispy, the cheese is melted, and everything looks so fresh.

    • Holding a piece of the crispy bacon chicken ranch quesadilla with meted cheese and a drip of ranch dressing coming from the middle. It is ready to be eaten.

    • A chicken crunchwrap sliced into 3 pieces and stacked on a cutting board. You can see the crispiness of the tortilla and the freshness of the ingredients.

    • Holding the Philly cheesesteak hot and fresh right above the griddle. It has melted provolone, grilled onions and peppers, and a hot dog bun grilled to perfection.

    Fire up the BBQ

    Fire Up the Grill is your go-to spot for simple, bold meals cooked with that perfect sear and smoky flavor you crave. You will find some of our BBQ favorites like Smoked Chicken Thighs and Grilled Chicken Breasts. Or you can go all in with show-stoppers like Chuck Roast Burnt Ends, or Smoked Beef Short Ribs.

    • These are the BEST and EASIEST Smoked Chicken Thighs we ever made. The slightly caramelized BBQ sauce on the skin makes every bite sweet and tender with a hint of smoke.

    • The finishing touch to the reverse sear, searing the bone in ribeye steak over a bed of burning natural charcoal.

    BBQ

    We love doing homestyle recipes with our BBQ rubs on a charcoal BBQ for everyone to enjoy. The BBQ grill can do a beautiful sear on a bone-in ribeye, to being used as a charcoal smoker with your favorite smoking wood. The BBQ gives you a choice of charcoals. So, go with natural charcoal for the smokehouse flavor it provides to a low & slow sirloin tip roast or when you kick up the heat for grilled T-bones.

    • Searing a smoked ribeye with the smokers flame broiler. This recipe can be done on a charcoal BBQ too.
