Dripping with goodness this tender juicy beef brisket on this smoked brisket French dip sandwich is slow-smoked for hours, served on grilled rolls with melted cheese and smoky au jus. We cannot believe smoked beef brisket served as a French dip is not really a […]

Today I’m sharing our August Mountain Moments. This is a recap of what happened in the month of August, in and outside, of our mountain kitchen. Gosh, I can’t believe it’s August already. It seems like it was February when the whole world was faced […]
