Adventures In Outdoor Cooking!
My very first Dutch oven experience was with my brother-in-law Dean Hatch at the Festival of the American West in Logan, Utah. Dean needed an assistant and I was fortunate enough to join him. This is his grandmother’s recipe and it was good enough for us to place in the desert competition. My family loves […]
Faith loves ribs. I mean she really, really likes ribs. A while back she was sitting in a hospital waiting area flipping through magazines. She happened upon a recipe for ribs that only takes a little more than an hour, which almost seems too good to be true. Most of the time you have to bake […]
I absolutely love to dig through cookbooks and look for new things to make. I happened upon a rice recipe that sounded really good, but it turned out even better. The sausage and black beans, along with a little heat was simply wonderful. Try this next time you fix ribs or chicken for a great […]
During one of our neighborhood get-togethers, Dave Cisneros came up with a great side-dish. It Is hard to go wrong with lots of cheese, green chilies and eggs. It is wonderful with chicken, rice dishes and great with a bowl of chips. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Dave’s Chili Relleno […]
While living in Kansas I loved cooking with Bryant Smith. We would always cook too much for our two families and have to ask others over to join us for dinner. Bryant came-up with a super-good baked bean recipe that I have kept ever since. It is colorful and packed full of flavor. I think […]
The next time you are invited to a BBQ where you bring your own meat and a side dish, make something a little different. This two-corn casserole is a great combination of flavors. The texture, flavor and appearance are a perfectly matched and the pot is always licked clean. It is a simple recipe that tastes like […]
There are few things I enjoy more than a good beef sandwich, and brisket is about as good as it gets. Several years ago while living in Wichita, Kansas I was introduced to a brisket that had real potential. I went home and tweaked the recipe a few times until I found the right combinations […]
I have cooked in a lot of different pots and pans over the years, but for Christmas I got adventurous and bought my wife a solar oven. I was amazed that in February on a 43 degree day I could heat my oven up to 325 degrees. This summer I look forward to cooking in […]
It is always fun when you are camping to pull a Bundt cake out of a Dutch Oven. People are accustomed to seeing a cobbler or a cake, but a Bundt cake can be very impressive. You are sure to get some oooos and ahhhhs from your family and friends. You just need a deep camp oven […]
When I asked Faith what she wanted for dinner on Mother’s Day, it didn’t take her long to answer “Marinated Flank Steak!” It is hard to beat the flavor of this savory steak. Add some horseradish sauce on the side and you are all ready to go. This dish is so easy yet so amazingly good […]
Anything that can be cooked inside can be cooked outside! Anything we cook outside you can cook inside! We love to play both ends of this spectrum! So come join us for a wonderful, flavorful adventure in outdoor cooking.
Okay, so I am still having so much fun cooking on my flat top griddle! I love finding things to prepare and not only is it fun but it is so easy. These Mongolian Beef Wraps are wonderful and full of flavor. My son had a couple of friends stop by while I was cooking […]
I really like stuffed mushrooms! I love to stuff them with crab, sausage or just about anything else. So my wife and I were sitting in a doctor’s office with our son who dislocated his ankle coming off a rock wall. (But for guys that are outside the doctor’s office is a common place to […]
Many times when I am cooking outside I really like to keep it simple. Just a few choice ingredients, a great blending of flavors and a quick and easy way to get it on your plate. This is one of those wonderful dishes that is so easy and your family and friends are going to […]
