Made the wife and Kiddos one of my favorite pastas. It can also be done over a fire camping in this same cast iron skillet, and has been many times.

This evening, travel with me to south east Asia to the Kingdom of Thailand, formerly Siam. I made two Thai dishes: Creamy Tom Yum Goong and Thai Holy Basil Stir Fry or Krapow.

I used the recipes from: https://hot-thai-kitchen.com/. I’ve made 3 of the recipes from there and everything has been great. Better than the average Thai restaurant. Highly recommend it:


Tom Yum Goong:

Shallots, galanga (similar to ginger), lime leaves, Thai chili, lemongrass

That pasta dish looks absolutely mouthwatering! I love how you can whip it up in a cast iron skillet, whether at home or while camping. It's awesome to see families enjoying delicious meals together. Speaking of dining experiences, I'm more of a dine-out person myself. While browsing online, I recently stumbled upon Restaurant Füssen, which piqued my interest. Their menu offers a wide variety of tantalizing dishes that I'd love to try. If you're curious, you can check out their website at riwa-restaurant.de for more details. Here's to memorable meals and culinary adventures!

Today I had the pleasure of enjoying a delicious meal: instant pot chicken with veggies. It was a wholesome and satisfying dish, perfectly cooked using the convenience of the instant pot. The tender chicken paired beautifully with the assortment of veggies, creating a balanced and nutritious plate. The flavors melded together seamlessly, making it a truly enjoyable dining experience.
Unfortunately, in my excitement to dig into the delightful flavors, I completely forgot to capture a picture of the dish. But, for those interested in trying their own instant pot chicken recipes, the possibilities are endless. The instant pot's efficiency in cooking tender and flavorful chicken is unmatched, and you can experiment with various seasonings, herbs, and veggies to create your own signature dishes. It's a reminder that sometimes the best moments are meant to be savored without the distraction of a camera.

(not overland cooked) Testing out the sous-vide method lately, I like it so far - main advantages for me are you can take something straight outta the freezer, no defrost and sous it for 1 hour, 2, 3...don't really matter, you can't overcook it.

Sear a couple mins to done, no need to rest, can carve and eat immediately

Experimenting with cheaper cuts than the usual ribeye - this is top sirloin at $11 per lb, saved the jus for dipping, chef's kiss

Bourbon, l'il side salad, oven roasted brussels with balsamic, Chris Stapleton on the side

dog is going absolutely bananas so I'm on to something :)

Seriously, you guys are culinary wizards! From sizzling steaks to gourmet grilled cheese, every dish is a masterpiece! And those desserts? Sweet tooth heaven! I could practically taste that homemade apple pie through the screen!But hey, let's talk shop for a sec. While we're all here drooling over these delectable delights, ever thought about the impact of our grub choices on our health and the planet? It's like they say, "you are what you eat," right? That's where healofoods.com comes into play. They're all about promoting healthy, sustainable eating without sacrificing flavor.Personally, I'm all for indulging in delicious eats, but I also believe in nourishing our bodies with wholesome goodness. Finding that balance between decadence and nutrition is key! So, next time you're whipping up a culinary masterpiece, why not throw in some nutritious twists? Your taste buds and your body will thank you!

I used my new 1-day old Carbon Steel Wok, and practiced a little Camp Kitchen work. I made some Cheesy scrambled eggs and coppa ham, with my "Overlanding Kitchen" or Truck Kitchen if you will.

I made a video showing the 1 min cook, plus how a properly seasoned pan can do cheesy eggs and be no-stick wipe clean. I also linked my video in description, on how to season a wok, if anyone wants to see. So, here's a fun quick Overland Breakfast in my side-kitchen setup. Will post the one showing camp kitchen setup too, overlanders may care to see the setup timing. This takes you to the youtube video:

People have been pestering me for the secret to my camp stew.
Simple, really.
Herbs. That's it. Herbs. We had two of them in our party.
