2 of My Favorite Recipes Hello Friends, So I’ve got two of my favorite recipes for you this week. If you’ve watched the channel or subscribed to the newsletter for a while, then these aren’t new to you. If you’re new here, then put this on the must-make list immediately. These are two of my top 10 griddle recipes—and they’re fantastic. Not only are they good, but I almost feel like you can only make them on the griddle. Technically, you could do egg roll in a bowl inside, but the griddle...

5 New Recipes Hey friends, I just updated my free eBook, and I wanted to make sure you got the new version — especially because I’ve swapped in what I believe are the 5 best meals a new griddle owner can make. If you’ve been looking for simple, solid meals to build your confidence on the griddle, this is it. My personal favorite from the update? The chicken fajitas. I’m loving the new marinade — super flavorful and easy. Highly recommend giving it a shot. Also, I’ve got a quick favor to...

Cheese Steaks Hello Friends, I thought I had my Blackstone cheesesteaks dialed in… until I made two simple changes that completely changed the game: Lowering the temp – I used to crank the burners to get that sear. Turns out, running the griddle around 300–325°F keeps the steak juicy and lets it cook in its own fat. Less sizzle, way more flavor. Wrapping in foil – After building the sandwich, I wrap it up tight. That quick steam softens the bun just enough and ties everything together. It’s a...

Griddle Breakfast! Hello Friends, I made breakfast on the griddle this morning and wanted to share a quick recap, including a new method I tried for cooking eggs. As with most griddle meals—especially breakfast—cooking order and temperature control are key. I made French toast, hash browns, bacon, and scrambled eggs. Here’s the order I followed: Hash browns (375-400 for 15 min) Bacon (375-400 for 8 min) French toast (375 for 3 min per side. 6 min total) Eggs (new method in pot) Actually, I...

Fried Rice! Hello Friends, If you’ve never made chicken fried rice on your Blackstone griddle, this is the one to try. It's beginner-friendly, doesn’t require fancy ingredients, and comes together in about 20 minutes. I just dropped a full walkthrough video where I cook it straight through—minimal edits, just the real-time griddle process (sped up a bit so you’re not just watching chicken sit there). Think of it as turning your backyard into a poor man's Benihana—frozen veggies, butter, soy...

Mothers Day! Hello Friends, If you’re thinking about firing up the griddle for Mother’s Day, I figured I’d pass along a few things my wife really enjoys. First up: a steak, shrimp, and chicken hibachi plate. Toss some green onions and oil down, get your rice going, and throw on your meats — I usually do steak in teriyaki, chicken in Italian dressing. Some veggies (zucchini and onions work great), scrambled eggs right in the middle of the rice, and finish it all off with a little soy sauce and...

Griddle Mistakes! Hello Friends, Spring is here, and everyone’s breaking their griddles back out. I thought this was a good time to run through the top 10 mistakes (happy acciddents) I make the most on the griddle. If you’re a new griddle owner, this should help you avoid some frustrating early missteps. And even if you’ve been cooking on a flat top for a while, it never hurts to get a little refresher. These are just the things I’ve learned the hard way—hopefully you can pick up a few tips...

Birria and Gyros! Hello Friends, I’ve got two simple recipes for you this week: Lazy Birria and Chicken Gyros. I’m using the term birria loosely—these are by no means traditional birria tacos you’d find on a taco truck or at a restaurant. But they are incredibly simple. You’re really just adding a big piece of chuck roast to a crock pot, tossing in some spices, and a whole can of chipotle peppers for smokiness. Let it cook overnight, and the next day you can make the tacos on your griddle....

Stuffed Blueberry Pancakes Hello Friends, Let’s be honest—the best part about griddling is keeping the mess outside while making delicious food for your family. More specifically, for the most important person: your wife. I’ve mentioned this filling before (it’s in my eBook if you have that), but it’s so easy it bears repeating. All you do is take a snack pack (lemon pudding cup) and 8 oz of whipped cream cheese and mix it together. You can even make it the night before and leave it in the...
