Had a great time at March 30 Dutch Oven Gathering

.

Thank you all for participating in the Spring DOG (Dutch oven Gathering) & Jam on March 30th.  I believe we helped Sacajawea Park put out the welcome mat for opening day!
About seven cooks participated, the members and jammers rounded out the meal with yummy side-dishes. It seems there was an unwritten memo that it was a Pork showcase day. We had two versions of pork tenderloin, pork roast with savory vegetables, pulled BBQ pork sandwiches and Ham. New member Fred cooked a southwestern chicken dish, and Marsha cooked a vintage ale bread recipe. Melissa made wonderful Mac& cheese. We were pleasantly surprised to have Doug return to the team of cooks.
All in all it was a grand day, and thank you all for attending. Wonderful food, music, friends, kids and dogs, exactly as it was meant to be!  Now who’s on deck for hosting the next DOG?

The winners of the Jackpot cook-off were Gary Burgess fromNewportWAto win the main-dish category with Cabin Chili, and Kathy Caldwell fromPascoWAwho won in two categories; desserts, Chocolate Stout Cake and side-dish, Stewed Apples.  Kathy had the overall vote receiving dish with her Chocolate Stout Cake and she happily took home the grand prize of $100.

Starting the New Year out right cooking in Dutch Ovens

Started the New Year out right it was 42 degrees and sunny with no wind time to cook with the Dutch Ovens.  First pot is my version of scalloped potatoes with country gravy in a 12 inch oven, maple roasted baby carrots in an 8 inch oven and homemade chocolate cake with mint chocolate chips in a 10 inch deep.  Everything turned out great!

Dutch Oven Fall Dinner

Fall is upon us and I decided to cook this past weekend outside in Dutch Ovens.  In a 12 inch I fixed scalloped potatoes in the 10 inch acorn squash and molasses bread.  Also in a 12 inch oven a mint triple chocolate cake.   I fixed a ham on the egg smoker and a nice green salad and Sunday dinner was served!

Hosting a Dutch Oven Gathering

We are looking for members that would like to host a DOG (Dutch Oven Gathering) in the future.  It’s easy and fun- all that is needed is a place for people to set up their cook tables and cook!  It’s a wonderful few hours spent sharing good food, recipes, ideas and brainstorming.  Contact Liz Sapp at 460-0375 for more information.
