I’m not much of a meat eater.  I usually stick to chicken breast and salmon.  But the Mountie had taken out a beef roast, and since I was working that day, I decided to throw it into the crock pot. rather than turn it into a hockey puck on the BBQ.  I found this recipe […]

We were talking out at the lake the other day about all the neat things you can cook around a campfire. One of the ladies mentioned these individual cakes which you bake in a hollowed out orange. I’d never heard of that one, so I looked it up, and found this recipe:
Cake in […]

We had great weather for camping this weekend - the sun was shining and it was toasty warm! We picked a lakeside spot this time which was great.

The water was like glass! (Still freezing cold though!)
Mattie did really well again. I bought another fence so we can almost fence off our entire […]

I make this rice dish quite often before we head out camping. It’s easy and surprisingly delicious. It’s also great to have on hand for a quick meal - especially if you’ve had a busy day at the lake!
Fire-Fried Rice

1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 1/2 cups chopped celery
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms

We have two gigantic pumpkins waiting to be carved up. Kristanna has been asking for the past three days, but since we have so many bears roaming around this time of year, I told her she had to wait until the day before Halloween!
She doesn’t really want to carve the pumpkins so much as […]

The rules were simple; attendees had to bring a bottle of some kind of liquor/liqueur that was a common shooter ingredient, as well as an appetizer to […]

My head’s been in camping mode lately, although our weather doesn’t look like it’ll be cooperating anytime soon! (rain, rain go away!)
I always try to be organized when it comes to what we’re going to eat out at the lake. Of course this is because I want to make my life easier ensure my […]

The old Kai’s not feeling so well today. The flu, you ask? Well, sort of. I believe it’s called the ’self inflicted’ flu. You know it’s stupid, you know you’re going to regret it, you know you should just call it a night and go to bed. But you don’t. […]

Here’s a good buzz from The Buzz Queen…

I gave the Mountie a shooter book a couple years ago for Christmas, and whenever we have company out comes the book and the shooter glasses! Of course this depends on the company - Grandma’s not so keen on shooters surprisingly! I think we’ve gone through […]

I’m going to be posting a photo. Let’s see….. yup I did it!Can you tell what it is? It’s a flip flop cake!
Our youngest daughter Kristanna turns 12 in July and the poor thing hardly ever gets to have a decent Birthday party. It seems to be the time of the […]
