On this week’s episode, I talk about my passion for cooking outdoors, reveal my secret recipe for the best grilled vegetables ever, and discuss why I like to put things that I actually use into the stories in my books.

I am kind of a foodie.

• I enjoy making and eating great food.
• I don’t know if it’s just a southern thing, but we seem to devise events around food.
• I really like cooking outside.

I’m a grill guy, and I love the charcoal taste.

• I come from a long line of “grill people.”
• My dad thought he was good, but he burned everything.
• All you people who have gas grills. Wrong! You’re cooking with heat and there is nothing to give your food taste.

For years I have put things in my books that I like or use.

• In The Noticer Returns, Jones is teaching how to start a business, and one of the guys (Baker Larson) starts cooking with a Kamado Joe.
• We cook on them at least three times a week.
• We do pizza, fish, steak, and wild game.
• One of our absolute favorites is cooking vegetables.

Secret Recipe:

We will cut up whatever vegetables we have and cover them with an Italian dressing to soak for a little while. We’ll then put the vegetables in a basket that goes in our Kamado Joe, and smoke them at about 350 degrees.
