Originally posted Jun 28, 2010 on old blog Yesterday I posted a copy of my Buddy’s recipe on the blog and have found my mouth watering for some good cornbread ever since! Naturally, I’ll be doing it out-of-doors on the Propane grill, using my square Lodge Logic skillet. I’ll also be “tweaking” his recipe just a bit. 😎 Jalapeno & […]
Originally posted Jun 27, 2010 on old blog My Buddy found a great recipe for Jalapeno-Cheese Cornbread and shared it with us a few years back. The proportions described in the recipe are perfection in my opinion… Chili with cornbread, Navy beans with onion and cornbread, Hoppin John with cornbread – you name it and cornbread is the perfect match!

Originally posted Jun 27, 2010 on old blog I am still looking at further ways to exploit that Lodge “Combo Cooker” on our propane grill. I like to buy “ready made” pre-cooked Tamales, made with Masa flour, wrapped in corn husks – then just steam and eat them with a good sauce but there is something about the name “Tamale […]
Originally posted Jun 25, 2010 on old blog I have been scouring through our recipes for those I could adapt for use with the new Lodge “Combo Cooker” on the propane grill. Today the wife mentioned her “Taco Skillet” recipe she got from Campbell’s Kitchen then modified to OUR tastes a few years ago. Our Son-in-law just absolutely *LOVES* this […]
Originally posted Jun 24, 2010 on old blog Another old post I just *HAD* to recover! In an earlier post, I mentioned my Buddy’s GREAT Macaroni Salad – he originally found the recipe on www.allrecipes.com and admittedly does not follow it precisely, (real cooks never do), but here is a slightly modified version of their original recipe. He uses a food processor […]
Originally posted Jun 14, 2010 on old blog I just *HAD* to try to recover this post – the Lodge Combo Cooker is one of my most used and most loved pieces of cast iron ware. Unfortunately, all of the pictures for this post were lost. <sigh> The pre-seasoned Combo Cooker probably “could” be used out of the box, but […]
Originally posted Mar 11, 2010 on old blog I’ve already admitted that I enjoy just getting my oven’s up to about 325°-350° and adjusting my recipes with cooking time. Guess you may have detected that I am a “low and slow” fanatic when it comes to outdoor cooking. Just the same there are some dishes like PIZZA that need the […]
Originally posted Mar 10, 2010 on old blog Here are a few tips I’ve picked up along the way that will get you started if you are new to Dutch Oven cooking. Most recipes that you come across that “sound good” for cooking outdoors, but were prepared for an indoor oven specify what temperature to set your oven at – […]
Originally posted Feb 10, 2010 on old blog Much is being said about emergency preparedness these days, and for obvious reasons we all should be paying attention. There have been more wake up calls since Y2K became a non-event than any other time frame in my life. (As I type this I am 64 years of age). Hurricanes, tornadoes, Southern […]
Originally posted Oct 7, 2009 on old blog When it comes to side dishes, just about anything will go along with a good pot of red – but we are particularly fond of having some rice to go along as a “side”. “Spanish Rice” seems to go particularly well and, naturally, goes well with any Mexican fare – so you […]
