If you answered “yes”, please don’t wait any longer to make your experience more efficient with a table for your Big Green Egg.
Okay, so I was pretty excited. Charleston is known for it's lowcountry cuisine and culinary masterminds. Heck, even this season of Top Chef was located in Charleston! So why was I excited? This year, Leisure Depot was invited to help Big Green Egg at the annual Charleston Wine & Food Festival.....
Charleston, South Carolina, is a great place to live. Unfortunately it is also a bit prone to hurricanes. This past week we were hit by Hurricane Matthew. Thankfully it was on the lower end of the scale in terms of strength and the damage in my area was minimal, though some were not as lucky. That said, my family did lose power for 72 hours. Fortunately, I was prepared.
Have you ever heard of the Juicy Lucy? A Juicy Lucy is a cheeseburger backwards. The cheese is stuffed into the burger patties and melts inside as it cooks. I first saw this concept on a cooking channel show a while back and thought, this is AWESOME!
You may know my husband Luke from Leisure Depot, either from meeting him in the store, or from reading his blogs. Luke is often off on Tuesdays and that makes Tuesday an exciting day in our household because Luke's days off usually mean that we are cooking on our Extra Large Egg. On one such Tuesday, I bought some filet mignon to cook and was really excited for him to cook dinner!.....
So Jules came home with a boneless pork loin for us to cook on the Egg. I have cooked a lot of things on my Egg but this was a first. I searched for recipes online to find the "right" one. In the end, I decided to go it on my own and I came up with this little gem. Give it a try. I hope you'll agree that it's delicious!....
Outdoor living is essential when you live in the Charleston area. Some of our best times happen on the screened in porch or poolside on a hot summer day. It’s where memories are made......
It may be early in the year, but it is Spring Sports Season at the Frost house. Thankfully the stars aligned and practices fell on the same two days that I have off. On my off days, I like to cook on my Extra Large Egg......
Christmas is a long way off but recent enough to relate this Big Green Egg experience from our first family Christmas with our Big Green Egg. As a native New Englander, the basics of our Christmas feast growing up always included roast beef, mashed potatoes, green beans, and Yorkshire pudding. I was eager to make this treasure trove of goodness for our first Christmas with our Big Green Egg (the roast beef that is)......
I was off today, which means it's cooking on the Big Green Egg day! Jules and I decided on salmon. I looked on the Big Green Egg website for recipes and used O'Neill Willaims' Bourbon Based Salmon recipe. Things got off to a great start, but then life happened...
Egg SOS! So I have been bragging to my parents for the past 4 months that I own an XL Big Green Egg and how delicious the food is off the Egg. My parents drove down from CT and were anxiously waiting for me to cook something for them on the Egg. I had high hopes. My best Egg cooking is wings, and I crush those. Wings were unavailable, as I was on a no bird diet until Thanksgiving. So we cooked baked potatoes and a Sirloin Tip Roast. I have to admit, I didn't do it right. I got the Egg to 400 degrees for the potatoes for an early cook, then cooled it down to the 325 degree temperature that the meat recommended. The baked potatoes were awesome, but the roast wasn't fully cooked. I felt embarrassed. Trying to show my parents why the Egg is so awesome, I failed. There is a learning curve to Egg cooking. As an XL Egg owner I am still figuring it out.....
Time sure does fly by! The holiday season is quickly approaching and I couldn’t be more excited! . My family is scattered across the globe so the holidays have always been a much anticipated time......
