We recently cleaned out our garden for the end of the season and found a not so little surprise. We actually went most of the season without any zucchini, weird I know, but it happened. While cleaning out our plot, I came across a large zucchini. And of course, once the…
I was never a huge fan of pork chops growing up. Not sure why… I think I was afraid of pork for a long time. So, I decided I’d better face that fear head on. What did I discover? My fears of pork are completely unfounded. Lydia had some bone-in pork…
I did a lot of camping with the scouts when I was a kid, and without fail cobbler made an appearance. If it didn’t, I’m sure there probably would have been a small riot. So, you really can’t go camping, and not have Dutch Oven cobbler. In continuing my Dutch…
One of my favorite camp meals was always Dutch Oven BBQ Chicken. It is seriously easy, and everyone loves it. You can go the ridiculously easy route and just pick up a bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce on your way to your camp site, but that’s not nearly as…
Sometimes you want something super simple, yet refreshing with your heavy dinner. Today was such a day. I stole this recipe from Lydia, though granted, she probably still makes it better than I do. It is really quick, easy, and fresh. And even though it is this simple, generally anyone…

One of the best parts about doing all your meal prep early in the week, is that is sure makes throwing together a quick meal later on in the week so much easier. Roast all your veggies on Saturday or Sunday, and then you don’t have to worry about cooking…
We generally get most of our produce through a local co-op. It is kind of fun, wondering what we will be getting the next week. It’s always different too, so the implied question each week is ‘what are we going to make this week?’ So when I saw beets, cabbage,…
It’s that time of year again. Game time. Or if you are like me, it’s the time of year when you watch that one game, mostly for the commercials, but hope it’s a good game anyway. And since it is still early in the year and we haven’t abandoned all…
