Growing up, my grandma would serve us rice pudding quite frequently. I always looked forward to it, though I always did wish it was just a little sweeter (my sweet-tooth). When she passed on, I checked with the family and no one really knew her recipe. I guess she just made it from her head, heart and habit. I was chatting with a friend, Debbi, and she gave me this recipe. I finally tried it today...

Homemade White Bread
I recently had surgery, and a good friend of mind, Cindy, brought a delicious meal to my family. I wasn't able to eat much, but I did have some of her bread and immediately asked for the recipe. I just made it this morning and it was super quick and easy...and yes, yummy! I think the bread flour really...

Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler
We had this too at the camp out and it was quite tasty. My friend had all the ingredients in a bag and ready to go--the dry ingredients together, then butter and peaches each separately. It made it quite easy to throw together once at the camp site. I can imagine that I can make it in my Dutch oven, but place it in my oven at home at 350 degrees. This recipe is an adaptation from Byron's Dutch...
Dutch Oven Teriyaki Chicken & Potatoes
Our ward had a camp out recently, and it was so much fun. A friend of mine and I decided to "dutch oven"-it together. I made the main course and she made the desert. Some while back, for one of our Relief Society Enrichment nights, we had a demonstration on Dutch Oven cooking...it was a fabulous demonstration...
