What is he up to now? The stack of stainless steel rings on the tailgate does arouse the curiosity. In our house we have a weekly ritual that is known as, “Pizza Night”. It doesn’t matter where we are or what we’re doing, if we’re not already talking about getting pizza on Monday night, we are reminded by our favorite pizza fan what day it is. Over the years we’ve taken this love of pizza into the woods with us and had lots of fun with it. One of the great things about pizza is the unlimited variety of options. Dietary restrictions? No problem. In addition to the traditional blend…

Onion Soup and Dutch Oven Roasted Veggies
I remember my mom cooking potatoes by mixing them with Lipton’s dehydrated French onion soup mix with some oil and then oven roasting them. It was simple and it was delicious. Over the past few years, our family has examined our eating habits and found that it had some room for improvement. We don’t always eat in a healthy manner and sometimes a kick-start in eating discipline is something we find helpful. To that end, every so often, we will make use of the concepts placed forward by the Whole30 folks.
