Who doesn't love food? If you said you didn't, then you're lying. We may not love what certain foods do to our bodies, but that doesn't mean you don't love food. I always love it when I'm cooking and the aroma of all the spices and mixture of scents emanates through the house. Or if you're cooking desserts, that sweet fragrance of chocolate, fruit or whatever it is you're making just fills the whole house.
Cooking is one of my favorite things to do. I love to be able to try out new recipes whether it is for a main dish, appetizer or a dessert. Desserts are my absolute favorite to make. My family calls me the "Betty Crocker" of the family. It's always fun to watch and listen to my friends and family as they take that first bite of food that I have just made for them. This is in all hopes that they're enjoying the taste of the food.
Dutch oven cooking is one of the easiest and non-stressful ways of cooking. You pretty much just stick everything in the pot, put it on the fire for a while, and your food is all ready. And there's just something about Dutch oven cooking that is so comforting. Here are a couple of simple recipes that I do as a tradition on camping trips that have my friends and family eagerly waiting in anticipation as soon as I pull that big pot out of the fire. Now mind you, I don't really follow a set recipe. I add everything according to taste and how I'm feeling, so you should do as you please
Creamy Curry Chicken
4-8 pieces boneless chicken
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
1 cup sour cream
Curry powder (shake in to your desired taste)
1 yellow onion
Thinly sliced ham
Potatoes
Wrap the ham around the chicken and place in the Dutch oven. Cut onion and potatoes and place around chicken. Mix the soup, sour cream, curry powder and any other spices you'd like to add in a bowl. Pour mixture over the chicken. Cover and put on the fire for 45 minutes. You can add other vegetables if you'd like.
For dessert, I do the easy peach cobbler. All you need to do for this is dump 2 cans of peach pie filling, yellow cake mix, and a 12 oz. can of Sprite into the Dutch oven, mix ingredients together, and cook this for 45 minutes as well. You can serve with whip cream or ice cream depending on whether or not you have a freezer while camping.
Anyone up for camping?
