Main Dishes

  • Under-The-Sea Salmon Cakes

    A fisherman’s delight, these salmon cakes are swimming in flavor but low in fat. Fresh or canned crab meat may be used, too. From You CAN Eat That! Awesome Food for Kids with Diabetes by Robyn Webb, MS (Cleveland Clinic Press; 2007)  

  • Chicken Foil Pockets

    We make this recipe everytime we go camping.  I almost always prepare the packages before we leave and pack them in a cooler.  We have a meal ready to cook when we arrive at our camp site and get our fire going.  It is easy to make on site as well.

  • Campfire Tacos

    Tacos are a hit with most kids.  Cook your meat ahead of time and enjoy this quick camp meal.

  • Campfire Fish

    We made this fish recipe when I was a kid and now that I have a family I enjoy it just as much, if not more. 

  • Vegetable Stew

    This vegetable stew serves 4 and takes just under 1 hour to make if cooking over a campfire. 

  • Salmon Teriyaki

    This is a great recipe for a camp cookout. To make this recipe easier, pickup frozen individually packed salmon.

  • Old-Fashioned, Really Grilled Ham & Cheese

    Grilled cheese never tasted better! Grill up a platter of these sandwiches for a quick weeknight dinner. If you're planning a tailgate party prep the sandwiches the night before; wrap and refrigerate and you'll be ready to go!

  • Tumble Basket Chicken Thighs

    Move over chicken wings. These tasty thighs are tumbled to perfection with Wasabi Teriyaki Glaze. Perfect timing for the grilling season!

  • Steak Marinade

    This recipe was originally supposed to be for steak and I have done it on steak kebabs... but it's even better on pork chops. It's very thick and sweet and doesn't need that long marinating.

  • Crock Pot BBQ Ribs

    These ribs are easy to prepare and fall off the bone delicious! Just fix and forget!

  • Leek, Potato and Kale Soup

    This deliciously creamy soup is a clever way to get your family to eat kale, a most nutritious green vegetable. Come home to steamy hot soup that just needs to be blended before serving.

  • Hearty Harvest Stew

    This is a yummy way to enjoy colourful fall vegetables after a day spent outdoors.

  • Crock-Pot Bolognaise on Spaghetti Squash and Peas

    I think it looks amazing when you serve this meal in the shell. A family can put the sauce in one half and squash in the other half.  For a romantic dinner for two, use the shells as a plate!

  • Not Fried, Fried Chicken, Fresh Veggies and Dip

    Most kids love chicken drumsticks.  This recipe takes a few minutes to prepare and will be a hit with everyone at the table.  Add some fresh veggies and dip and call it dinner!

  • Chase's Chicken

    I have a handful of recipes that I’ve committed to memory and named for someone in our family or something that we celebrate.  This one is dedicated to my son Chase!
