Summer Recipes

I remember the first time I tasted a pie-iron pie. My sister buttered up two slices of white bread while I peeled a Macintosh apple. She sliced the apple thin, arranged it on slice of bread, and poured liberal amounts of white sugar and cinnamon over top. I couldn't believe the magic that came out of that fire! We did them with raspberry jam too. Mmmm.

Does anyone here actually eat Beef Liver and Onions? If you do, or want to try it, this recipe will bring a new twist on the old fashioned method.

Berry crisps are delicious all year round, but you probably didn't think it was something you could throw on the grill. These foil packs are stupid-easy to make. Top with vanilla ice cream and grab a spoon.

There is absolutely NOTHING that compares to salmon that’s been cooked in an air-fryer! I love salmon prepared many different ways, but the air fryer method beats them all (by far) in my opinion.

Although wild-caught salmon typically costs more than...

I highly recommend serving this gravy with my Campfire Drop Biscuits or Bisquick Rolled Biscuits in The Air Fryer, they are so simple to make!

How to make quick and easy campfire drop biscuits, using a Dutch oven or pie iron, on the grill or over a campfire. Simple Bisquick recipe for deliciously fluffy biscuits.

I know it’s such a VERY SIMPLE thing: Stovetop or CampFire POPPED Popcorn, but sometimes we need a little reminder how FUN and EASY it is to make snacks at home!
