Originally posted May 20, 2014 on old blog This isn’t really a recipe, more of a pictorial review.. One of Heidi’s favorite outdoor dishes is Kielbasa Sausage cooked with bell pepper and onion. Our Son-in-law Jeff has perfected this dish over the last few years, but thought I would try my own twist, and revisit my old friends… The deep […]
Originally Posted Apr 21, 2014 on old blog One of the best things about enjoying a big ham dinner is making effective use of the leftovers! Heidi baked a fairly large, spiral-cut, ham in the oven yesterday, (Easter Sunday) – and after dinner I immediately started scheming on ways to use the rest of it for some outdoor cooking. Decided […]
Originally posted Aug 20, 2013 on old blog Recipe: Fideo Laredo Found this one on Food.com, (link goes to correct page), and it sounded so good – just had to try it. First, in our kitchen, then later on will make some more tweaks and give it a shot outdoors. 😉 This is the picture on-line that attracted me. “Fideo” is […]
Originally posted Jul 26, 2012 on old blog It has been a *very* busy Summer around the old Pondee, and am ashamed to admit how much I have taken advantage of Jeff’s, (our son-in-law), willingness to help with all of our “projects”.

Originally posted Nov 26, 2011 on old blog The most difficult part of baking bread outdoors, particularly at a campsite, is the preparation time when you start from scratch. Back around 2009, I read an article on-line at the Mother Earth News web site entitled “Five Minutes a Day for Fresh-baked Bread” that I found intriguing. Some time later on, […]
Originally posted Nov 4, 2011 on old blog This is one of those quick and dirty recipes that can easily be done in the kitchen, using the stove-top and oven, our on the grill using the deep half of a combo cooker, and finally in a Dutch Oven. The results will be good and tasty regardless of the method used […]
Originally posted Nov 3, 2011 on old blog Inspiration is where you find it – in this case, it started with Nancy’s Kitchen and her Quick skillet 57 recipe. Later on it evolved to Everyday Dutch Oven and their Campfire Goulash 57 recipe. I happen to really enjoy the tang of Heinz 57 sauce, but obviously had to “Westernize” the recipe by kicking […]
Originally posted Oct 26, 2011 on old blog Sloppy Joe’s were one of our kid’s favorites while they were growing up – and these days our grandchildren have continued the “tradition”. Many years ago, Heidi refined it down to its simplest form and could knock out a quick meal they would welcome in about 20 minutes total preparation time using […]
