I've been eager to share the great new recipe I came up with at Thanksgiving for Quorn Turk'y Roast. Unfortunately, in our haste to eat it, I failed to take photos of the finished meal. So, I had to wait until it was almost Christmas to try this out again - and man, it's even better with a ...

Mountain Man – Out of the Campfire and into your Kitchen!
This is my fresh take on a traditional Boy Scout camping classic. After a camping trip a few years ago, our son Nick described how they layered sliced raw potatoes in a well-greased Dutch oven, with raw eggs, onion, and sausage on top. The Scouts would then cover the Dutch oven and bake the ...
Panko Crusted Fried Chick’n

Refreshing Watermelon Feta Salad
There are tons of recipes for watermelon feta salad, but the one I composed last night for my husband's birthday party is particularly good. Even one of our guests who hates both watermelon and cucumbers cleaned her plate! I used cucumber in addition to the watermelon and feta, lots of fresh mint ...
