Baked Ziti

Whether you are camping with the scouts, chilling with the family or in the back yard with friends, baked ziti is a comfort dish that always gets rave reviews. It is kind of a one pot “add what ever you like” kind of dish. A BIG shout out to my good friend Mark Kapp for […]

Kung Pao Pork

This is a wonderful, flavorful dish that I love to make. I use a cast iron wok which really helps, but a cast iron or other heavy fry pan will work as well. The combination of vegetables, peanut butter and spice is fantastic! You can substitute chicken for the pork as well.  I hope you […]

Chicken Terrifica

I made this sauce up one day and it was so good that I called it terrific. I mean, it is so amazingly good that I could probably eat it on shoe leather and it would be a treat!  I served it over chicken, but I think you could use steak or pork chops as […]

Split Pea Soup with Ham and Barley

For some strange reason I have always LOVED split pea soup!. With carrots and onions it has such a wonderful, rich flavor. It is a great comfort food that I don’t get often enough (my children are not fans because it is green). The barley adds a kind of nutty texture that I really liked. […]

Chicken Noodle Soup

When the weather turns cold I love to put on a pot of soup. Just the smell of a simmering soup warms the soul and brightens the spirits. One of the easiest and most comforting is good-old chicken noodle! It is really hard to beat. For an added treat, try our Kansas influence and serve […]

Skillet Lasagna

This easy, flavorful dish really moved up on my list of favorite one-pan meals. The sauce, meat and cheeses make a wonderful combination. This is something that can be taken with you as you travel camping and easily put together once you get there. It is sure to bring a smile to those lucky enough […]

My daughter Katie made this and immediately called to say “WOW”.  Needless to say I was anxious to try it for myself.  If you like Thai food and peanut butter, you will go crazy for this dish.  Just because you are outside doesn’t mean you can’t eat well, so enjoy!
