Light up breakfast for a crowd with a breakfast fatty on the smoker: a huge egg- and cheese-stuffed breakfast sausage wrapped in bacon and hit with wood-fired goodness. This version gets coated with a black pepper maple syrup that yields bacon that is sticky and a touch sweet, reminiscent of popular “pig candy” (aka candied bacon).
In Mexico, pozole is party food that's named for one of its main ingredients, specially treated corn kernels known as pozole in Mexico and hominy in the United States. The puffed canned corn has a pleasantly chewy texture. Pozole, the dish, can feature different meats or fish and comes in three colors (green, red, or white). This is a red pozole (aka pozole rojo) made with pork that features a combination of guajillo and dried New Mexico chiles. If you’d like something a little smokier you can replace a portion of the New Mexico chiles for Mexican pasillas.
In his new book Cook with Confidence: Over 100 Inspiring Recipes to Cook and Eat Together, Dennis Prescott shares the origin story for this fragrant chicken curry. Through his work with World Vision Canada, Dennis has visited Kenya several times. In Dzikunze, a remote village in the drought-ridden southeastern region of the country, he met a woman (now a friend) named Beatrice. Because of the persisting drought in the region, Beatrice’s property often goes weeks (if not months) without substantial rain, making growing crops, feeding livestock, and, ultimately, putting food on the table, an incredible challenge. Dennis was honored to cook along with Beatrice and her family. This recipe, a fragrant slow-cooked stew packed with rich spices, fragrant ginger, cilantro, and coconut milk, was inspired by a day spent cooking with them. Says Dennis: "Cooking this dish with Beatrice, her family, and friends is one of the greatest honors of my life."
Matt Pittman, founder and CEO of Meat Church BBQ, takes jalapeño poppers to a whole new level by smoking the cream cheese for the filling and, even better, adding brisket. “People will love these,” promises Matt. Plus, this perfect party snack is, as he says, “fun to make, easy to cook, and you can’t screw it up.” Bonus: The smoked cream cheese, delicious in the Texas Twinkies, is also great on its own served with pepper jelly (or some Cowboy Candy) and crackers.
For his new cookbook, Cook with Confidence, Dennis Prescott collected his favorite recipes for sharing with family and friends. One magnificent example: This fragrant and meaty lasagna. Dennis is the first to admit that making it is a bit of a commitment, but, that you'll feel a beautiful sense of accomplishment. You can also spread out the work; for instance, simmering the the sauce a day or so ahead. And, of course, lasagna improves upon sitting, so you can always bake it the day before you plan to serve it.
A flavorful brine makes these buttermilk chicken wings extra tender. Finish these crisp grilled wings with some ranch seasoning and Parm and watch them disappear. Note that you can buy chicken wings already cut up into flats and drumettes, which are sometimes called party wings. If you'd rather cut whole wings up yourself, discard the tips or save them for making broth.
Get all your diner favorites–eggs, bacon, hash browns and more–all in one crispy hash brown omelette cooked on the Flatrock. Stuffed with bacon, pulled pork, cheese, vegetables, and ham, this easily feeds eight. Make it once, then feel free to swap in your favorite fillings, such as brisket, caramelized onions, and different cheeses.
If you live in Utah, chances are you've had funeral potatoes, a cheesy-potato casserole popular among members of The Church of Latter-day Saints. As the name implies, it's often served at after-funeral meals, especially in Mormon households, but it's also a popular potluck dish for happier occasions as well. Usually made with canned "cream of" soup, this version uses broth, flour, and milk instead, yet it's just as easy to make. The crunchy topping comes from corn flakes, but crushed potato chips are also a great choice.
A clafoutis may not be the easiest dessert to pronounce (clah-foo-TEE), but this French cross between a custard and a cake is one of the easiest desserts to make. You basically mix some flour, milk, sugar, and eggs in a blender, pour it over some fruit, and bake. The classic uses fresh cherries, but Diva prefers a blueberry clafoutis flavored with lemon zest and vanilla. Feel free to use whatever tender fruit looks good—peaches, blackberries, apricots, or raspberries, or even a mix.

Chef JRob describes his sweet brunch dish as a cross between French toast and cheesecake. Yet the cream cheese and blueberry filling could not be easier to make, and the large surface area of the flat top lets you cook all the brioche at once so everyone can eat at the same time.
We’re taking the classic smashed burger up a notch with porcini powder and a special sauce. The dried mushroom powder, sometimes called dust, gives the meat an even deeper savory flavor. If your supermarket carries dried porcinis but not powder, simply grind the whole dried mushrooms in a spice grinder. Spreading a little mayo on the buns before toasting them makes them nicely browned and crisped.
Diva Q makes this fantastical, many-layered cake for her kids, who request it often for breakfast (and just about any other time of day). Once you try it, you will know why. For best results, let the crepe batter rest for at least a couple of hours but preferably overnight.
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are a great choice for cooking on the griddle. As convenient and quick cooking as chicken breast, they have a deeper flavor and are more forgiving so they’re almost guaranteed to stay juicy after cooking. We like the heat the jalapeño ribs provide. If that’s not your thing, cut the seeds ribs out of the slices. Depending on how filled you like your fajitas, you may have extra vegetables; if so, save them to use in omelets or on pizza.
