From my kitchen to your palate
We love our Traeger Smoker. We’ve had it for over 10 years and I’ve posted previous recipes using the Traeger as our cooking method of preference. The smoker is wonderful, but it does require a lot of time to get that smoky ring and flavor …
I love quiches! With Mother’s Day last weekend I decided to make a traditional bacon and cheese quiche. I took a shortcut and bought premade pie dough from Trader Joe’s, since this was only one of the many dishes I was preparing. The night before …
