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…
I had a day to myself recently and decided to spend it doing nothing but cooking – not for the blog, not because I needed to figure out dinner, but for no other reason than I wanted to spend a morning luxuriating in the kitchen. Almost my entire life revolves…
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…
I have talked before about not being much of a baker. I think it stems from the fact that I can’t follow a recipe verbatim to save my life. I am always tinkering. It works well for me most of the time, but when it comes to the precision needed…
I love Peruvian food and Peruvian culture. I first tried Lomo Saltado when I was living and doing volunteer work with the Latino community in Miami. It is Peru’s answer to Mexico’s Fajitas. The beef is salty and the peppers are more sweet than spicy. It has ties to the…
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…
I would bet a good chocolate cake that when most of us hear the words “Salsa Verde” we think of the amazing blend of tomatillos, lime, jalapeños and salt that runs wild across our fantasies of dunking chips and street taco bliss. My inner Latina girl highly approves of this…
Do you dream of dinner party domestic goddess fabulouspicity (a made up word, I know)… That moment when you pull the perfectly lovely / lovingly perfect dessert out and everyone collectively sighs? And then they taste and sigh again. I have delusions of such grandeur as well. A baker? I…
I still have camping on the brain apparently and this week I wanted to bring you the next course in your camping meal. It may be a little more fancy than the basic camping fare you are used to, but it is still pretty simple. A little prep before might…
Barcelona has to be one of my favorite cities in the world. I haven’t visited in over 10 years, but it left such an impression on my that I still dream Gaudi dreams. The city on the sea – like any port city is a mix of languages, culture and…
