Tales from the Big Green Egg: Peanut Grilled Shrimp

The weather’s starting to get warmer, and the days are certainly getting longer, which means it’s time to fire up the Big Green Egg at our house!  Don’t get me wrong, Brent and I love to grill throughout the winter – but it just feels so much better to be grilling after work when it’s light outside rather than dark.

Tales from the Big Green Egg: Asian Pork Loin, Twice "Egged" Potatoes, Peach Cobbler!

My husband and I were so inspired by our trip to the 2012 Eggfest in Hiawassee, GA, that we cooked up a big feast on our Egg the night we got home (after a 5 hour trip, no less!).

“Eggheads”, Unite!
