Does anyone have any special recipes that they enjoy using while at their cabin? I have a brown bread that I love to bake in the wood cook stove. If anyone is interested I can post the recipe. Oh yeah, and it has to be served with baked beans

That bread looks really good!! Most of the things that I cook at the cabin don't require a recipe. Eggs, bacon, hash browns, sandwiches, burgers, dogs, Bush's baked beans, mac & cheese, chili, sardines, potato chips, and you get the idea. I'm a lazy cook. At home I eat the most wonderful country cookin that you could imagine. (Thanks to my wife)

Cornbread on the wood stove:
I tried this last night. Easy to make. Tasty to eat.
Ingredients
1/2 cup buttermilk or soured milk (see TIP)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 egg
1 tablespoon honey or sugar or maple syrup (use more, if desired)
3/4 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
I added hot pepper flakes, but you could use anything or nothing.
2 teaspoons oil or butter, for the pan
Container: heavy 8-inch skillet
PREP
Took me about 15 mins for my first try.
COOK
Took about 15 mins on my wood stove. it wasn't real hot.
Put buttermilk or soured milk into a small bowl. Add egg and beat with a fork. Stir in oil and honey.
In another bowl, mix cornmeal, salt and baking soda.
Heat skillet, add 2 teaspoons butter or oil and spread to cover bottom and sides of skillet thoroughly. I used butter oil and beef fat. great with steak.
Add cornmeal mixture to liquids, stir briefly, and pour into hot skillet. Cover.
Check after 6 - 8 minutes. (Mine took 15-20 minutes.) Cornbread has cooked long enough when firm around the edges and center is almost firm. Turn off heat and let stand, covered, for a few minutes. It will continue to cook.
Serve warm.
TIP: To sour milk, add 1 tablespoon vinegar to 1/2 cup milk and let stand for several minutes.

thx hattie. does my credit apply to my visa bill?
ahhahahahahaha
actually this was really easy. simple ingredients. quick mixing. and then I just put it on my wood stove. and left it until it appeared to be cooked.
fun for sure. and it was tasty. i used pickle vinegar from some pickles i bought from the amish this summer. maybe that helped.

Yup. On the stove. This was a stove top skillet recipe. I would have used the cast iron skillet, but, er, well, um. bachelors and dishes. what can I say.
My wood stove isn't a cooking stove. but the top gets really hot. of course. so I cook on it. this is the first cornmeal thing I've tried and it worked out really well. tho it took twice as long to cook as the recipe indicated.
I also do sous vide cooking. I'll put a bowl of water on the wood stove. Then put my steak in a heavy plastic bag and put it in the water. just like the sous vide cookers. if the stove is really hot I put the pot off to a cooler part of the stove. then when I'm ready for supper I finish the steak on the propane stove to brown on each side and supper is served.
yup. you can cook chicken wings, heat up frozen meals, make soups. It's like a slow cooker I guess.

That is really cool. It looks like we may have the same type of stove at the cabin that you do from looking at your picture. Ours gets really really hot too. My husband has burnt the snot out of something on it this fall.
We knew we could reheat on it but now I think my doors have really opened up! Thanks!

I cook pizza on my grill and bake whitefish wrapped in foil packets to which I add sliced onion,pepper or Old Bay,butter and a splash of white wine.
I have a old family baked bean recipe I will post when I get home from
driving.
Edited to add: I've baked Jiffy corn bread in my iron skillett in the grill. It took a long time because I didn't have a grill with a thermostat at the time. I'm going to try it again this summer.

Oh! I hate that stuff! It has been a very long time since I've eaten any of that. Spam will kill you. Way too much sodium and saturated fat. Even the so-called low sodium and Lite varieties.

Ive been using the turkey fryer for other things.
Of course the thing will boil a big pot for fish, etc. but with a big fry pan, like a paella pan, or a big diameter 'Mex griddle, maybe even a discada (cowboy wok) you get a useable cooktop, drop an old kettle bbq top on it and maybe it would be an oven?
Drop on a smaller than the ring diameter old cast fry pan as a ceramic briquette holder and a grill over the top and its a bbq grill.
The turkey fryer is a big burner with lots of Btu's but the adjustable regulator lets you dial it back.

No browse button after I hit upload files. Just Library, Take photo.. I choose a photo, hit done, goes back to this page, still says no file selected. I’m on an iPhone 14. Always worked like that before this week.
Now I know how gcrank feels.

Ah
I've found that trying to find an image to post on a phone is more of a challenge than using a PC. I don't know about iPhones, but that true on Androids. The file system is different. It took me a bit of trial and error. The storage location is different for camera images than downloads and screenshots are diff too.

Ok, looks like it’s working again…
So, I was wanting to comment on Izzy’s good Spam food comment above. Timely for me, just got put on cholesterol meds for the first time.
Can’t find any Spam here, gave the last one to Buddy I guess, and he’s still limping around. But, I have been eating a Costco hot dog for lunch every day, makes Spam look like health food! Gotta stop that too. Along with my morning eggs and dinner burger.

What is actually good food to eat can be tricky at times. I don't mean to turn this topic into any kind of a crusade, for or against, anything in particular. I am a numbers guy and a label reader.
As it turns out, Spam is actually slightly better for you than a Costco 1/4 lb hotdog. But neither are really good for us. The label provided serving size is different; the Costco dog weighs in at 4 oz. and is a serving size. The Spam label gives a serving as 2 oz, or 1/6 of a 12 oz can. To make the comparison to the Costco dog fair, let's call a serving of Spam to be 4 oz, just like the hot dog. That is more realistic I believe.
Then we have 12 grams of saturated fat in either serving.
Sodium in the hot dog = 1250 mg while the 4 oz of Spam = 1160 mg (Spam better by a small amount)
The hot dog has 3 grams of sugar and the Spam has 2 gr. (Spam is slightly healthier)
On the good-for-us side of things, protein in the hot dog = 16 gr, and Spam has 14 grams. (The hot dog wins by a little for protein.)
If I compare 4 ounces of the canned salmon I like, the scorecard has; saturated fat = 1.5 grams, sodium = 186 grams, sugar = o gr and protein = 24 grams.
And yes, the salmon does cost more than the hot dog or the Spam. However, sardines are as nutritious, though maybe with a little more sodium than salmon, but less costly.
I will admit that I think a good hot dog is more tasty than Spam any day of the week. But Spam in a can can be stored darn near anyplace. However, the can of salmon can be stored in all the same places.
I grew up on a cattle ranch. My family has been ranching cattle at least since James Madison was president, maybe earlier but the genealogical study gets fuzzy back that far. We also raised and ate a lot of hogs. We had bacon and sausages at every breakfast, plus eggs. A pork product or a beef product was served at every lunch and dinner as I grew up unless we had chicken. Roast chicken was considered a treat and was not a common meal. There are so many delicious ways to prepare pork and beef! I still can get to drooling when I smell some barbecue or roast cooking. However, I have not eaten any beef for many years and the only pork is a tenderloin (about zero fats), maybe once a month. Let me add that it was very difficult to change a lifetime of eating all those things that were loaded with saturated fats. Also difficult to give up the cakes, cookies, pastries, and ice cream that used to come out of the family kitchens. Sugar and mostly saturated fats!
The ranching business has changed a lot too. I seem to be the end of the road for the family enterprise as nobody else wants to be the rancher in charge. Not that I blame anyone; it is much work and has risks. We now run some grass-fed beef for that niche market and lease land to other local ranchers.
Anyhow, back to food. Here's a shot of today's lunch; homemade beans. I use an Instant Pot so they are not true baked beans. Lots of protein and fiber, very little sodium and only whatever small amount of sugar came with the 1/4 cup of molasses that went into the dish (2 quarts final product). Tomorrow will be a homemade vegetable, rice, lentil & bean soup.
Oh, PaulZ. Eggs are not all that bad. Yes, they do contain cholesterol but so does a beef steak, though not quite as much in a serving size. But a 6 ounce rib-eye has a bunch of saturated fats. My healthcare providers state that one egg a day is okay..., as long as it does not come with bacon or pork sausage.

Me too. My LDL has been on the edge of too high for quite a while though the HDL and total are good to acceptable. The cardiologist said I should be on atorvastatin for a while, at least, since the heart attack.

Quoting: paulz add some Parmesan.
I like parmesan too. I guess, Who doesn't?
Costco sells a wedge of genuine Italian Parmigiano-Reggiano that is excellent. Aged 24 months = tasty.. It's a little on the high side of saturated fat but not too bad on sodium. I use some every so often and try to be moderate. I figure a special treat once in a while is okay. IMO, better than a 6+ounce steak, healthwise. The genuine parm is much better, IMO, than the pre-grated-in-a-jar stuff.
No pictures of my latest meals, but yesterday was a black bean and yam burger on a sourdough roll. I made the burger, local bakeshop made the bread. A side of zucchini and onion sauteed in olive oil.
Today's dinner was a clean-out some leftovers from the fridge when I got back home. A small serving of spaghetti, some asparagus, and a mackerel and bean burger patty.
Recipes for the black bean and yam or mackerel-beans burger patties on request. I make a batch and divvy it up into an immediate dinner, a leftover for a day or two later, and a couple that get frozen for future use.
Quoting: paulz Peanut butter
We used to be able to buy peanut butter in the local grocery store that you would grind from peanuts right there. Some health rules stopped that and I miss being able to get it.
Have you tried other nut butters, like almond butter? I also like sunflower seed butter.
