How I Got College Credit By Cooking Outdoors
I was in my freshman year at college, when I noticed a small notice in the school paper: Come learn about cooking outdoors and get college credit. I was very curious and decided to attend the meeting to find out more. Several nights later, I found out that by going to a class three …

Outdoor Cooking Magic Challenge #3
This challenge will be a fun one to do. I’ve never cooked a pie in a Dutch oven. And I’ve never cooked rhubarb pie. And I’ve never cooked a meringue topping. To do all of that in my Dutch oven may really turn out to be a challenge. But that is the recipe that was …
