There is a simple lunch I sometimes have. To me it is beyond comfort food. A bed of savory rice, topped with a crispy fried egg, preferably with a bit of yolk still left, so it can mingle with the rice. It is quite easily made while hiking. Well…if you don’t mind doing a little [...]

Remember my post from earlier in the week on being a Summit Sampler? I came home to a box of cereal waiting for me yesterday. And realized something: I had never eaten Grape-Nuts®. My Mom, being of the ”back to nature” crowd in the 70/80′s…well she did. But that was “hippy cereal” in my eyes as [...]

Spaghetti Carbonara is delicious, most likely awful for you and nowhere as hard as one might think to make! Usually carbonara recipes for the outdoors involve flour, dry milk and other things. That isn’t a carbonara (even if it does taste good). The first time I made it home, years ago, I was shocked [...]

I saw my inspiration for this on Serious Eats, talking about a sandwich Alton Brown eats. He uses sardines and avocados. Which I am sure taste great, I happened to have some of Wild Planet’s no-salt added albacore tuna on hand…. So I thought…wonder how this would taste? Umm…yeah…. It was beyond fantastic. Creamy, rich, filling. Simplicity at its best. [...]

Last weekend I tried out a new recipe – and used the family as testers – while on a laid back cabin stay. Life was rough…being forced to look out at the Pacific Ocean only yards away while making dinner This very easy, very quick and delicious recipe is a snap to make – and to carry. [...]

It isn’t often I look in the packaged rice section, but I had needed a box of couscous, and Near East is my favorite brand. Sitting next to it was a Quinoa Blend in Rosemary & Olive Oil flavor. Looking at the ingredient list, I wondered if it would work with the boil and sit method, [...]

Inspired by my vegan version yesterday, I set out to make a dairy-based one for everyone else (and well, even organic dry milk is cheaper than creamed coconut). This dry mix can be use as a soup base, added to dry recipes and more. Check out the delicious recipe below, for Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Rice, or try it also [...]
