— Using Kingsford Hardwood Pellets

This post is sponsored by Kingsford. The opinion and text are mine.

Cooking a whole family meal on the grill is not only a time-saver but also a very delicious way to prepare food. On top of that, you can create fabulous memories with your loved ones. I am all about creating memories, particularly around food.

Well, in this post, I am sharing a tasty sandwich with you, a side dish that could be served as a summer salad as well, and a comforting dessert that just about anyone would admire.

I think that the best part of summertime is cooking food outdoor on your grill. Who agrees with me? There is no mistake that the food tastes so much more enjoyable when it comes directly from your grill to the plate.

I partnered with Kingsford Hardwood Pellets to share with you all these appetizing grilled recipes.

Kingsford Hardwood Pellets are made with all-natural, pure flavor hardwoods and absolutely no fillers, binders or preservatives, bringing out undoubtedly the best possible flavor.

You must try their pellets because it will fire up the flavor in any pellet grill — Classic, Cherrywood, Hickory, Signature, and Maple flavor. Furthermore, Kingsford Hardwood Pellets are proudly made in the USA.

For my weekend family meal, I used Kingsford Cherrywood — all-natural 100% cherry hardwood. Additionally, as I said, there are no fillers, so cherry’s fruity aroma adds a delicate smoke flavor to any protein or vegetable, and pairs perfectly with pork.

These all-natural Kingsford pellets are made with pure flavor hardwood to deliver a sweetly refined smoke you will absolutely love. Regardless, you can most certainly use Classic, Hickory, or Signature Pellets, but I wanted to stick to Cherrywood for this meal!

How to use Kingsford Hardwood Pellets:

Pour wood pellets into a storage container, also known as a hopper. The pellets are then fed into a cooking chamber by the electricity-powered auger. Then the wood pellets ignite, heating the cooking chamber where the air is brought in by fans, and your food gets infused with a real wood smoky flavor.

Ingredients

• 2 slices of thick sandwich bread per serving, this makes about 10 sandwiches
• 6 Pound Pork Loin, boneless, silver skin removed
• Marinade:
• 1/2-inch piece of ginger, peeled

1. In the large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the marinade, then place
   pork loin in the marinade, cover and keep in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours;
   make sure to turn it around at least once.

Grill Prep:

1. Open your Kingsford pellets bag. I used classic which is great for almost
   anything you want in your grill. Flavorful and strong. Wood pellets are poured
   into a storage container also known as a hopper. The pellets are then fed into
   a cooking chamber by an auger that is powered by electricity.
2. When ready to cook, smoke setting with the lid open.
3. Wait for the fire to start about 5 min, depending on the grill type and
   model.
4. When ready to cook, set the grill temperature to 450F and preheat lid
   closed for 15 minutes.

Grilling:

1. Place the pork loin on the hot grill and turn every 2-3 minutes, closing the
   lid between each turn, until pork loin is seared all around. Reduce heat to
   300F. Cook until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 150F
   
   Remove from the grill and let rest for 15 minutes. Slice in 1/2" thick
   pieces.

Assemble:

1. Place bread slices on the grill and allow it to get grill marks, 1-2 min on
   each side.
2. Add condiment of your choice, such as mayo-sriracha, and place a few pork
   slices on top of a bed of greens, shredded lettuce, mixed song greens, or
   arugula.

Delicious and easy recipe for an amazing Grilled Skillet Blueberry Galette

Print

Ingredients

GALETTE DOUGH

• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 4-1/2 oz., 9 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed into 1/2-inch pieces
• 4 to 5 tablespoons ice-cold water

BLUEBERRY FILLING:

• 12 ounces blueberries (about 2 cups)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
• Zest of one lemon
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 beaten egg
• 1 tablespoon regular or coarse sugar

Instructions

GALETTE DOUGH

1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add butter,
   and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds.
2. With the machine running, add ice water in a slow, steady stream through the
   feed tube. Pulse until the dough begins to clump together in the bowl. Test by
   squeezing a small amount of dough together: if it holds, you are good to go; if
   it’s crumbly, add more ice-cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
3. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead once or twice to
   bring the dough into one mass.
4. Pat the dough with your fingers and palms to form a disc about 3/4″ thick.
   Wrap in plastic and transfer to the refrigerator. Allow it to rest and chill
   for an hour.
   

Make a galette:

1. Preheat grill to 300° Fahrenheit.
2. Toss blueberries with lemon juice, lemon zest and sugar in a large bowl,
   then add cornstarch
3. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a 10-12-inch round. You can also
   divide and make a few smaller galettes.
4. Place rolled out dough in the oven/grill safe skillet, let the edges drape
   over.
5. Mound blueberries in center of the dough, leaving a 2" border. Fold
   edges over, overlapping slightly. Brush dough with beaten egg and sprinkle with
   sugar.
6. Bake galette until crust is dark golden brown and filling is bubbling, 45-50
   minutes. Let cool before serving with vanilla ice cream.

Meat Lovers Egg Muffins are such an amazing at to feed a crowd. They are also great for meal prep.

I am not big on meal prepping. Well, I do pre-pack meat into smaller containers or ziplock bags, sometimes chop vegetables and store my herbs.

However, preparing a meal ahead, which is so popular nowadays and storing it in containers is not for me.

I tried really hard, however, my kids would eat it before my week would end so I gave up. Not everything, just the things that re the best in the box like grilled chicken or pasta.

So I was cooking double meals. It was just not working for my family so well, that’s why I gave up.

With that being said, I think it is a fantastic idea if you have two people or even three. It could be really a life saving when you meal prep.

Although from time to time I do make a big muffin tin of these and it saves me so much time in the morning.

I’d say these are fantastic even for an afternoon snack instead of that protein bar. Well, they are certainly better than sugary bars.

We are a meat-eating family so these beauties are always welcome on our table.

Now, I showed you two versions; wrapped with bacon or with a ham slice. I like both versions, to be honest, that’s why I wanted to show you.

The easy and tasty recipe for Meat Lovers Egg Breakfast Muffins

Print

Ingredients

• 12 strips Bacon, + 2 slices for topping (use deli meat slices as an alternative)

Filling:

• 1/4 pound Italian sausage
• 1/4 pound ground beef
• Pinch of salt, or to taste
• Pinch of black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
• 4-5 eggs, mixed
• 2 oz cheese, shredded (any on hand works, I used mild cheddar)

Topping:

• Fresh parsley for garnish, if desired
• Bacon crumbles

Instructions

BACON OR DELI MEAT

1. Bacon Version: Cook bacon halfway either in the air fryer, pan or oven. This way it will crisp up much better once baked in the oven. Take it out and place it on the kitchen paper towel or cookie rack to cool for a bit.
2. Deli Meat Version: If you are using deli ham or similar deli meat you can skip this part. Just place slices into muffin tin cups and make a small hole on the bottom with a fork. Cook only a few slices of bacon for the topping.

FILLING

1. Head up the skillet and saute the ground beef and Italian sausage (casing off if any) with salt, pepper, onion powder, and dried parsley.
2. Cook at medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink.
3. Beat eggs very well. You do not need to season it cause it is quite salty already.

ASSEMBLY

Bacon Version:

1. Place bacon inside of the muffin cups, then add filling in, a tablespoon or two depending on the size of your muffin tin cups.
2. Add a bit of cheese on the top then pour eggs over it just under the edge of the muffin tin cups
3. Add more cheese if desired.

Deli Meat Version:

1. Place ham slices into the muffin cups then pierce bottoms with a fork.
2. Add filling, cheese and pour beaten eggs over it.
3. Add more cheese if desired.

BAKING:

1. Bake egg muffins in preheated oven to 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes.
2. Allow them to cool down for about 5 minutes then slide a spoon around the muffin cup and pop egg muffins out.
3. Garnish or top them with chopped parsley and crispy bacon bits.
4. They must be completely cooled down before placing them in the airtight container. They should be kept in the fridge and used within 3 days for the best taste.

Notes

If you are using ham, for example, as muffin cup holders, see pics, then crisp up some bacon on the side, crumble and use as a topping. I used aways one or two extra slices regardless because it tastes good with a bit of bacon on the top.

One of my absolute favorite food is tasty, easy and pan-fried Chicken Schnitzels. I can eat this all day, and every single day without ever getting tired of, and I am not even exaggerating.

I have a love-hate relationship with fried food, but I suspect many of us have the same issue.

Well, I do try not to make it too often, but when I do it is a feast.

Pork or chicken cutlet or schnitzels are such a marvelous mate to serve with salad, over pasta, with potatoes or rice, or perhaps in a sandwich or a wrap.

As you can see there are literally tones of possibilities. To be honest, my family is obsessed with it as much as I am.

Every time when my kids have friends over pork or chicken schnitzels need to be made as well as pasta and sauce. PERIOD!

I am probably spoiling people too much, but I love having these teenagers over.

On top of all, I enjoy feeding them homemade food and getting some positive feedback.

This is such a stupidly easy recipe, and I know you will love it.

I have decided to share this recipe simply because so many asked for it. Even though I have pork schnizes, and the method is almost the same.

Easy and tasty recipe for my amazing Chicken Schnitzels

Print

Ingredients

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts halves
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper on each cutlet
• 1/2-3/4 cup all-purpose flour (I used gluten-free)
• 3 large eggs, well mixed
• 2 cups breadcrumbs (any type works fine)
• 4-5 tablespoons oil
• Freshly chopped parsley
• Lemon wedges

Instructions

1. Place the chicken breasts on the cutting board and remove if there is any fat. Cut a large chicken breast half in half diagonally lengthwise. See pic below.
2. Place each cutlet in a large plastic bag or use plastic wrap (film), one at a time, and pound them so they are approximately 1/2 inch in thickness.
3. Season each chicken cutlet with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper.
   Prepare 3 bowls, one with flour, second with well-mixed eggs and the last with bread crumbs. I add a pinch of salt and pepper to eggs, some people add in the flour. NOTE* You do not need much salt as breadcrumbs are usually seasoned. If they are not, season accordingly. Add a good pinch of salt, pepper and maybe herbs if the crumbs are not seasoned.
4. Place each piece of chicken in the flour, coating both sides, and shaking off any excess. Next, dunk it into the whisked egg, let any excess liquid drain off. Then coat it with breadcrumbs. Set aside until ready. At this point, you could place them in the airtight container and keep in the fridge for a couple of days. I like adding a wax paper or kitchen paper towel in between each uncooked chicken cutlet.
5. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Once the oil is hot but not smoking, carefully place one piece of Chicken Schnitzel into the pan and let it cook for 2 minutes and then flip it over to finish cooking. I like flipping it twice so about 8 minutes per schnitzel and I cook 2 to 3 at the time depending on the size of the skillet. If the skillet or a frying pan is small, like 8 inches I cook only one at the time.
6. Each piece should be golden brown on both sides.
7. Remove the chicken to a kitchen paper towel-lined plate and repeat the process with the remaining chicken.
8. Once all the chicken is cooked, give it all a generous squeeze of lemon, a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley, and season with more salt if needed.
