  • Raspberry Chocolate Camp Cake in a Dutch Oven, by Fire!

    Raspberry Chocolate Camp Cake
    in a Dutch Oven, by Fire!

    I found this gluten-free chocolate cherry cake recipe and used it to make a raspberry chocolate cake in a dutch oven by campfire. Below are the basic steps re-written the way I did them. This was a good one to prep and fire up before dinner, and let sit and finish cooking while you eat…

  • Campfire Cooking Methods

    Before more recent whirlwind adventures to a wedding in Vermont, K____ and I took a brief respite to camp in the North Cascades National Park. The votes are in, and the top winning option for next blog post was Campfire Cooking Methods! Special thanks to Logistikris for the unique comment entry of ‘Campfire chocoraspberry cake.’…

  • Car Camping the Wong Way.. Choose Your Own Adventure Edition!

    So, maybe that 2nd hot toddy and the half a family size bag of kettle style salt & pepper chips was not the best idea, since now my health has declined significantly post-camping over the weekend. But anyway, I thought I’d put it to a vote of the readers: which of these would you most…

  • (Insert Protein Here) Lettuce Wraps!

    (Insert Protein Here) Lettuce Wraps!

    These days, my household tries to eat less carb-heavy things on a regular basis, and I’ve taken to making lettuce wraps regularly. One of the first google search results will give you a copycat of the P.F. Chang’s recipe, so that was my jumping off point. Frankly, that is where I’ve eaten most of the lettuce…

  • Herbed Butter

    Some of you may be wondering why there hasn’t been a post in a while. Maybe one of you is wondering what happened with the spiralizer you loaned me, or what I ate on vacation in South America. Ooops, sorry, I’ve been busy seizing life by the throat and shaking it around. I do plan…

  • Spam Musubi – the best picnic sandwich ever!

    I used to think vacations to Hawaii were over-rated and so cliche (cheap flights from the west coast! All your co-workers are doing it!), until i finally went. Then i realized why everybody in the Pacific Northwest tries to head out here in the Nth month of rain -it’s great! There’s a reason it’s a…

  • 10% Home Made Pot Stickers, an addendum

    This is a follow up to my earlier post, 90% Home Made Pot Stickers. Some friends tried their hand at making some and had some technical questions. Maybe you’d like to have some home cooked ones but not spend the time making from scratch? If you haven’t before, or run into problems, here’s a pretty…

  • Pasta alla Carbonara

    Pasta alla Carbonara

    I needed to whip up a nice backdrop for an easy but satisfying Sunday night dinner with a treat of seared scallops.* I had turkey bacon and egg on hand, and picked up some bucatini. This one from Nook and Pantry has been sitting at the ‘bottom’ of my Evernote recipe box for a while,…
