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.
