Chicken Pot Pie

My wife ‘s goal was to come up with a chicken pot pie that was better than she could get at the restaurant.  Let me tell you, she totally nailed it!  My family LOVES this recipe and we make it often.  If you are going camping, just make the filling ahead of time and put […]

Pork Chops and Gravy

I am starting to get excited about my solar oven.  Think of it, cooking with nothing but the sun.  My house stays cooler and I just set it out in the back yard and keep working until lunch is ready.  I would really like to cook in my solar oven 3 – 4 times a […]

Easy Flan

When it comes to deserts, I think one of the very best is flan.  It looks impressive and with that smooth, velvety, creamy texture it doesn’t get much better.    The wonderful thing about flan is that it looks a lot harder than it really is.  So I got a little adventurous and put one in […]

Grandma’s Candied Apple Dumplings

Bryant’s Baked Beans

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 […]
