Brisket Marinade
My family has been using this brisket marinade recipe for about 15 years now. So easy and absolutely to die for! The marinade is good for oven-baked or grilled brisket. You can find liquid smoke at the grocery store, near the bottled marinades.

Wild rice gives these fluffy pancakes a wonderful texture and hint of nutty flavor. Feel free to use more or less wild rice, depending on your preference.
