I’ve had a Global Sun Oven for years now and really enjoyed using it but, sadly, haven’t done so in about a year. (FYI: There’s a newer version, the All American Sun Oven, that seems to be a better design and less expensive if interested.) Anyway, while visiting my in-laws I noticed they’ve yet to…

I’m back in Kansas City visiting my in-laws for a while and one of the many benefits of doing so is that they get farm-fresh eggs from a friend who raises their own chickens. When making breakfast this morning I realized that many of you may not know what REAL chicken eggs look like so I…

When we went camping in Little Basin park we choose to bring our Lodge Logic Dutch Oven (I prefer a larger pot with flat lid for versatility) to cook a meal with. We choose to do an easier meal, specifically Easy Bake Chicken and Rice that’s straight from the Camp Dutch Oven Cooking 101 cookbook…

Last week for “Stove Sundays” I showed how to make yogurt in a dehydrator. Yes, it can be done. In fact, there are all sorts of makeshift ways to make yogurt at home, some more creative than others. Today, I figured I would expand on the idea and show how to make it in a…

My wife and I both enjoy yogurt (Greek style) most days. The problem is that yogurt can get a bit expensive to purchase, at least, the good stuff we prefer. As such, I figured I would try my hand at making yogurt again. In the past–many years ago, in fact–I used to make yogurt using…

My kids just love Anne’s macaroni and have for years. Since we moved and now have a Costco membership we can purchase them in packs of 12 (with three different kinds) and so I always ensure we have a few cases around. Because it’s super easy to make I thought I would try cooking it in a…

A few days ago I decided to bake bread in a #10 can similar to this recipe I found here a while back. Why? Because somebody said it’s possible! Otherwise, there’s no good reason to do so and, after my experience, a waste of time and ingredients if you ask me. The thing I noticed,…

When we made this meal I wasn’t thinking about posting it here but later figured I should since it included some dehydrated vegetables, specifically broccoli (they might all be gone by now), carrots, and peas. These veggies, in particular, are included because that’s what I started dehydrating a few weeks back and will likely be…

“Low and slow” is almost always better than fast or hot. Specifically, longer dehydrating times and lower dehydrator temperatures will often produce the best results when dehydrating. (Note that there is an exception to this rule and that is when dehydrating meats. In this case, hotter temps are better.) If you simply followed the directions in the…
