For us, the holidays are all about cooking up old family classics. But we couldn’t help take notice of all the smokey, savory, and sweet creations that seem to be ruling our social media feeds. Scrolling around last week, we started seeing Cheez-Its and Chex Mix recipes pop up on various Traeger groups. So we decided to see what all the buzz was about…
Recipe Review: Traeger’s Garlic Herb and Stuffed Prime Rib Roast Recipe
When we haven’t done a recipe before, and are cooking for a big party or family gathering, we like to do a dry run a week or two before. As you saw with our Traeger Turkey Recipe Review, it’s usually flawless. But we always seem to learn something that improves the final product. Taking our end product from good to great!
After looking at a dozen or so mouth-watering Prime Rib recipes around the web, we decided to improvise on Traeger’s Garlic and Herb Stuffed Prime Rib Roast.

We’ve been shopping for WiFi/Cloud-based BBQ Thermometers. Only a few interesting products out there on the market. But nothing motivates us more than top-notch engineering, excellent customer service, and features that translate to real benefits. This recent review from ManMeatBBQ.com tipped the scales for us in favor of Tappecue.

Why you only heard about the Flat Iron Steak after 2002
Short answer: It didn’t exist yet. At least, not under that name. And if you were eating “flat iron steak,” as beef, it was in ground hamburger. The cut was a throwaway. Enter meat research and development.
Who knew there was such a thing as “meat science,” complete with university scientists and industry researchers with (we imagine) lab benches and grills at butcher houses? And the even better news? The research goes on, and they may find more tasty cuts!
Read the entire Atlas Obscura article, “How Meat Science (And Marketing) Gave the World the Flat Iron Steak.” If you’re a serious Meathead, it’s worth your time.
