What do cooler temperatures call for? Comfort food! I've been waiting for the perfect meat loaf weather for months and finally it's here!

Browsing the meat displays takes on a whole new meaning once you have become an “EggHead” and I find myself always looking out for the next thing to try on the Big Green Egg Grill. The other day at the store I found beautiful, plump organic chicken thighs and couldn’t pass up on them. I [...]
