FFWD Piperade Stir Fry


I love to cook, but sometimes it's great to have an easy week.  Our friend just gave us his gas smoker, so when I read this was a good side with anything grilled, I decided to have Paul smoke some fish and chicken to go with it.  The dinner was quick (in terms of hands-on time, smoking a chicken takes a few hours), easy, delicious, and relatively healthy.  We're on vacation in Oregon this week, so I'm going to keep this post short.  I'm going to try to read as many of your posts as I can while I'm away, and I'll catch up when I'm home.

  4. Wow, a smoker pretty cool. I don't think I've ever had smoked chicken. Alton Brown showed how to make one out of cardboard box, but I didn't think it looked safe... Oregon, I've never been... I heard it is breathtaking and a great food place. Have fun.

  6. Enjoy your vacation. Your smoked chicken and fish look fantastic. And peppers are perfect to round out your meal. We have a wood smoker, but have never tried a whole chicken. I'll add that to the list of things to make this summer.

  7. Have fun in Oregon. My husband and I were there to visit friends a few years ago and absolutely fell in love with the state. If you happen to be in the Rogue Valley area, I highly recommend Rogue River Creamery and the chocolate shop right next door called Lilly Bell, I love their chocolate so much that I still order it for my family on special occasions.

    And have fun with that smoker. We bought one for my dad years ago and now every Thanksgiving he does a turkey breast in there. He also roasts a whole turkey, but every year guests are fighting for the smoked meat because it's so delicious.
