Chicken Provencal is a recipe that we cook at home a couple of times a month. It’s a weeknight meal for us, since it’s super easy, tastes excellent, and the ingredients hold up pretty well in the pantry or the refrigerator. With the ease of cooking and stability of the ingredients, we figured that, with […]
Camp Stove Teriyaki Chicken
All campfire food doesn’t need to taste like something you’d find on a cattle drive. You’re allowed to mix it up on occasion. This camp stove teriyaki chicken recipe helps you change things up and it tastes excellent all at the same time. We’ve rated this recipe as EASY since the sauce is made completely […]
Seasonal Produce Guide
One of the most important aspects of an excellent recipe is the quality of the ingredients you put into it. It doesn’t matter how well you cook or how flawless the recipe, it won’t be good if what you put into isn’t good. Think garbage in, garbage out. With that being said, fruits and vegetables […]
Hot Water Cornbread
Hot water cornbread is an older cousin to the cornbread that most people are accustomed to today. Maybe it could be considered a distant great-granduncle to the typical stuff, since according to Sean Brock, the grand-master of all things Southern Cooking, it predates regular cornbread quite a bit. We’ve rated this recipe as EASY, but it […]
Campfire Etiquette
When we went up to Colorado for our honeymoon, we found an amazing little spot on some Forest Service land that didn’t have loads of visitors. It was one of those places that you don’t want to tell anybody about because you know that once word gets out, it’ll end up being overcrowded and eventually destroyed […]
Dutch Oven Red Beans and Rice
Red Beans and Rice is a regular weekly meal in our house. We make a big batch about once a month then break it down and freeze it for quick microwave meals. We’ve taken our regular red beans and rice recipe and reworked it to reduce the quantity and to make it easy to cook […]
White Beans and Tasso
Cooking beans in a cast iron dutch oven is about as nostalgic as a person can get when thinking about firing up the dutch oven in the wilderness. Sometimes though, you just aren’t in the mood for plain old pinto beans. We’ve rated this recipe as MODERATE due to having a couple of extra steps […]
Cucumber-Buttermilk Salad
A bright, chilled, cucumber-buttermilk salad is a perfect side dish on a hot summer day here in Texas. It is especially refreshing after a hot and sweaty day of hiking. You can cut the cucumbers up with a knife, but if you have a mandolin slicer, this recipe can be made in just a couple […]
Campfire Jalapeno Poppers
Jalapeno poppers are one of my favorites, whether I’m barbecuing in the backyard or out in the wilderness camping. We’ve rated this recipe as CHALLENGING due to the detailed instructions and the very high heat in which it is cooked. Refrigerating them in a way to get them to the campsite intact also takes a […]
Homemade Bacon
Homemade bacon is a lot easier to make than most people would think. It just takes a little patience, a bbq pit, a meat thermometer, and some curing salt. We understand that this isn’t cooked at a campsite, but many of our recipes call for bacon as an ingredient. Bringing your own homemade bacon will […]
