Main Dishes

  • Beth's Slow Cooker Baked Beans

    Beth makes these once a week in the winter. She serves them with homemade corn bread and sometimes sliced ham.

  • Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas

    This is the perfect recipe for busy days. The mixture cooks all day and keeps nicely on the warm setting. Great for days when the family is coming and going at different times. All you need is a package of tortillas, a few toppings and a bag of salad and you are good to go.

  • Rockwell Bake

    In the Kitchen with Anna Whitecap Books (2008) ChaptersIndigo.ca Amazon.ca This turkey dish is, in essence, a strata—a savory bread pudding. This one contains all the elements of holiday turkey dinner—turkey breast, cranberry and stuffing with a little cheese to take it to the next level. It is an easy, slice-and-serve entrée that reheats just as well as holiday leftovers.

  • 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. 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.
