OUR ORDINARY IDAHO DINNERS

The other day, I received a funny email from someone who subscribes to this crazy blog. This person noted that she loves my baking blog, but had a few questions. The first question was this: “Do you ever eat anything healthy?” The next question: “Your picture doesn’t make you look heavy…are you?” The third question:…

Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - Thanks Donna!March 31, 2013 – 5:30 pm

Donna - Love your receipes and your creativity. Thought I would let you in a little secret if you didn’t already know. If you add a teaspoon of margarine in your boiling water for potatoes it will never boil over. Try it, it really works!March 30, 2013 – 10:16 pm

CARAMEL APPLES OR CARAMEL POPCORN

I don’t know why, but the cool fall air always encourages me to make Caramel Apples.  It might have something to do with the fact that apples, are plentiful and delicious this time of the year.  Some of you might shy away from making your own homemade caramel, but don’t be.  It’s super easy, and…

Katy - What kind of popcorn do you use? Is it the kind you pop in the microwave in the bag? Is it buttered? It looks delicious!October 31, 2011 – 12:55 am

FOIL DINNERS – so easy, so good!

Many of you will think I’m NUTS for posting this! It’s not really even a recipe, but it still remains a family favorite. You don’t even have to go camping to enjoy foil dinners. We enjoy them several times a year. These foil dinners are quick, easy and always taste great. We are pretty plain…

Pat - We absolutely love these! We always add BBQ sauce to this packet as well. Love that flavor! Another summer fireside meal we love is camp irons. Ever tried them?January 21, 2013 – 10:38 pm

Bob - Just made these for my family who loved them. Will try leaner meat next time to see if there is less liquid inside the foil. I would also season mine a lot more though what I put on was just enough for everyone else.February 22, 2012 – 4:17 pm

Laura - I am so excited to try this!!! THANKS FOR POSTING!! :) January 25, 2012 – 2:49 pm

Cindy Gray - Love this versatile quick dinner! In addition to the seasonings mentioned, I sprinkle 1/2 packet of onion soup mix over the top of each one and then put the soup on top of that. We really like it:)January 20, 2012 – 6:02 pm

Lisa @ Fern Creek Cottage - I made this for dinner tonight and it sure was yummy! The brown sugar on the hamburger is so good! My 12 year old son thought dinner “looked gross”, but when he was done he was wishing he could have seconds! Ha, ha, I love it when that happens!December 7, 2011 – 4:51 pm

Sarah E. - We make these too – but call ‘em Hobo Dinner.
I like to add lots of different veggies and seasonings to them. I love how versatile they are. You can make each packet slightly different :)

I never thought to use a sharpie to mark initials on them!! That’s geniusMay 16, 2011 – 6:27 pm

Jonna - Hi Rosa,
I just put a couple of small pats of butter on top of everything, before I seal the foil. It just makes the potatoes brown just a bit.January 6, 2011 – 10:36 pm

Rosa - Hey — Just made this — it was a hit. We added bacon!! The only thing I could not for the life of me figure out what the butter was for. I read over and over again and couldn’t find it!January 6, 2011 – 6:15 pm

claudia thomas - everything sounds so goodJuly 17, 2010 – 1:55 pm

CHEDDAR BAY BISCUITS

Finally! I’ve been trying to post this for two hours now. Blogger just didn’t cooperate with me for some strange reason. Today has certainly been one of those days. Before I even got out of bed, my head was pounding. I get up with the birds along with my hard working husband, who leaves very early…
