I really don’t think we eat enough salads around here, sure, during the Summer when there is a bounty of vegetables from the gardens we’ll focus on dinner salads or a big chef salad. Yet during the colder months of the year, salads seem to get pushed aside for one reason or another, whether it […]

We have been fixing these Grilled Potatoes and Mushrooms for years and we never tire of them. I’ve seen these mentioned around the internet as campfire potatoes, we just call them yummy!
