Pulled Pork Tater Tot Nachos

I usually have a little pulled pork leftover after I smoked a pork butt on my Weber Smokey Mountain Smoker. It usually ends up on baked potatoes. Or in stromboli. Or in nachos, like these pulled pork tater tot nachos. Like any nachos, you can go pretty much nuts and put whatever you want on these. I really like the combination of red onion, green chiles, peppadews, black olives, and pinto beans. You get a mix of crunch, heat and salt. The smoked provolone sauce and spicy BBQ sauce really bring it all together.

Pulled Pork Tater Tot Nachos

Over-The-Top Nachos

I actually prefer tater tots (or crispy crowns) in my pulled pork tater tot nachos nachos over tortillas if I’m serving them as a main dish. Tortilla chips work better in an appetizer since they turn the nachos into easy-to-eat finger foods.

If I’m reaching for a bottled BBQ sauce, I often go for Sweet Baby Ray’s.

Nutella Pretzel Brownies

Brownies. Pretzels. Nutella. You don’t really need to say any more about these little Nutella pretzel brownies. They’re a bit sweet. And a bit salty. And a bit nutty. They’re really, really good. The pretzels also add a nice crunchy outside, and the fudge brownies have a smooth, creamy chocolatey inside. Great for a crowd. Well, if you can keep people eating too many of them that is!

Nutella Pretzel Brownies

The Perfect Combination

I have to admit, Nutella’s rather addictive. It was tempting to not lick the spoon while frosting these Nutella pretzel brownies. It took all of the energy I had to stop myself.

Chocolate with Nutella Milkshake

I love the flavor of Nutella. That great chocolatey, creamy, nutty taste is great in a milkshake. Perfect on a hot summer day. Or any day for that matter. This chocolate with Nutella milkshake is pretty much a to-taste affair. A little of this, a little of that. It’s not like you can mess it up.  Serve this in a chilled milkshake glass and share it with your Sweetie!  I topped this with whipped cream, toasted peanuts and a maraschino cherry.

Chocolate with Nutella Milkshake

Self-Control? Gone.

I love making and drinking milkshakes like this chocolate with Nutella milkshake. They remind me of my days as a kid when I could drink as many of them as I could find. I have to exercise a bit more control now, but I still enjoy them. Try my cola, maple bacon (yes, bacon), and old fashioned malted milkshakes.

Smoked Rosemary Nuts

Nothing is easier than smoking nuts. I use my Weber Smokey Mountain Smoker, but you can also smoke them on your gas or charcoal grill using a couple of added wood chunks. Smoking raw nuts only takes 20-25 minutes, so why not make a batch or smoked rosemary today for the big game?

Smoked Rosemary Nuts

Surprisingly Good

These smoked rosemary nuts have a fantastic light rosemary taste (and aroma). They are a wonderful variation on your ‘usual’ smoked hot nuts. I really wasn’t expecting this to be so good. I’m not really sure what I was expecting. Well, that’s not true. Half of me thought they’d not be something I would enjoy. I was wrong as heck. I loved them.

Spinach and Artichoke Dip

This spinach and artichoke dip rocks. It is thick, creamy, cheesy, and it has a little kick – all of my favorite things in one bite. I made a huge batch of this dip for a family get-together and it was well-liked by all. Ok, the kids didn’t even try it. It has green stuff in it after all. I guess I should say it was well-liked by all of the adults!

Spinach and Artichoke Dip

No Wimpy Chips Need Apply

I kept the spinach and artichoke dip warm in a fondue pot and served it with bagel chips. You can’t really serve it with potato chips. Or anything that’ll break off. It’s a thick dip. You need something that’ll stand up to that.

This dip also makes for a fantastic grilled cheese sandwich. I’ll post more on that tomorrow.

Maple Bacon Milkshake

Well, there are good milkshakes and then there are great milkshakes. And you know that a maple bacon milkshake is great. It has to be. Quality vanilla ice cream, whole milk . There’s no point in using low-fat milk in this milkshake. Real maple syrup, and of course, bacon. A few seconds in the blender and into a glass, topped with whipped cream and a little bacon garnish. Absolutely fantastic!

White Chocolate Frito Popcorn

Everything that is yummy is in this white chocolate Frito popcorn. Crunchy fresh-popped popcorn. Milk chocolate M&Ms. White chocolate. And Fritos. What more can you ask for?

You can add a whole list of things to these. Roasted pecans or even peanuts would be a fantastic addition! Neapolitan ice cream would taste great and look cool (the dish could use a little color, right?). Go with caramel sauce instead of the chocolate sauce that I went with.

I use my trusty waffle maker to make this dish. There’s nothing fancy about it. It has one adjustment on it. And it’s easy to use. That’s all I need. I can’t feed a big crowd in record time with it, but it’s the perfect size for 2-4 people.

Fried Poblano Strips

Ok, that’s it. I’m officially giving up fried onion rings. And fried pickles. From here on, it’s these fried poblano strips for me and nothing else. They have that nice crunch you get from panko breadcrumbs. And they have that nice little kick from the poblanos and cayenne. Not really hot, just a great spiciness.

Adobo Ribeye Steak with Fried Poblano Strips

Who Would’ve Thought?

I served these little treasures on top of a grilled ribeye steak. But of course you could eat fried poblano strips as a side or even an appetizer, served with a cool Ranch dipping sauce. The peppers have an amazing flavor. I don’t know why these aren’t available at bars and restaurants as appetizers. Fried pickles? Fried jalapenos? Yeah those are ok… but these are great!

I get out my big deep fryer when it’s time to fry a large batch of food. It comes to temperature quickly and it maintains that temperature perfectly. It has a built-in oil filter and storage unit so I can re-use the oil several times.

  • Roast the poblanos under your broiler or on the grill until well charred, turning to get all sides good and roasted.
  • Remove from heat and let cool until you can handle them.
  • Remove the charred skins and seeds. Do not rinse them in water or you'll lose all the great roasted flavor.
  • Cut the peppers into rings (some of my peppers exploded, so I ended up with pepper bites instead of rings).
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep pan to 350 F.
  • Arrange 3 shallow bowls or pie pans.
  • In the first place the flour and stir in a few pinches of salt.
  • In the second bowl, crack the eggs and scramble them with a fork or whisk.
  • The last bowl is for the panko and cayenne. Just stir them together.
  • Working in batches, dip the poblano rings into the flour and coat.
  • Shake off any excess flour, then dip them into the eggs. Coat well.
  • Shake off any excess egg, and dip into the panko mixture. Coat well.

  • Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt.
