Once the weather starts to cool, it’s time to bring in any herbs that you want to keep before they freeze. I use a simple method to dry my herbs to save them for later use. Drying herbs takes little effort except for patience.

Da chow! Recipes, pictures, ingredients, and a bellyful of related stuff.
Last week, I posted about making fresh pesto from the basil I grew in the garden. This week, I am going to talk about one of my favorite recipes that uses pesto – stuffed chicken breast with prosciutto.
I really enjoy using fresh from the garden food in my cooking. This year I grew basil, so it’s time to make some pesto! It’s an easy to make recipe that can add so much flavor to your food.
It’s popular right now to enjoy food bowls. The idea started with Hawaiian poke bowls – fish, vegetables, and sauce. They have recently become common, with restaurants popping up all over the place and options in the freezer and deli sections of the grocery.
We love to use the poblano peppers from our garden to make stuffed peppers, but sometimes the peppers are too small or tear when I am peeling them. I wrote about that process here. I decided to see if I could change a recipe for stuffed peppers into a casserole.
I’ve discussed cooking in camp in several different posts (you can see them by searching with the camp cooking tag). When it comes to packing food for a backpacking trip, you have to balance the weight, bulk, and calories to suit your needs.
When you are on the trail, food is important. You want to have energy for the hiking, but you don’t want the food to be too heavy (you have to carry it after all!) or elaborate to prepare. I’m a slow starter in the morning anyway, so one of my favorite trail breakfasts is Logan bread with coffee and a bacon bar. It can be eaten cold and munched while packing up the camp.
