When Kirk and I moved Freezer Bag Cooking into Trail Cooking a year or so ago a number of photos were lost that were connected to the recipes.

I saw a recipe for a pasta salad that gave me an idea for a ‘re-do’. It was a simple one – but the hardest part was figuring out a honey mustard dressing base. Why buy it if you can make it easy, eh? Thanks to Teresa “Dicentra” Black for helping me yesterday with finding [...]
