Camp Food
We have mostly been featuring hearty breakfasts, having made muesli and bird seed bars before we came, and supplementing that with oatmeal and fresh fruit.
Recipe: Cheese, Onion and Garlic Strata
This is delicious, and is a great way to use up stale bread as well as miscellaneous cheeses. It is easy to make and the leftovers taste just as good warmed up for a quick meal. This may also be prepared in advance and refrigerated until you are ready to bake it.
Recipe: Green Egg Bake
This is good, and even our teenager liked it, who doesn’t think she likes cooked spinach. She told me to make it again!
Recipe: Quinoa Granola Bars
These are good and we like them even though my husband calls them “Bird Seed Bars.”
Recipe: Flourless Pumpkin Pancakes
These are quick, easy, delicious, and light– more like crepes than pancakes.

Restaurant: Green Granary
As I mentioned, my daughter is taking a Botany class a couple mornings a week with a homeschool group north of here in New Milford, Connecticut. While she’s in class and it is is either too cold or too wet for painting (see here) or hiking (see here and here), or biking (see here) or … Read more

Recipe: Lemon Ginger Scones
We don’t “do” white flour very often, but if you are going to make an exception, this is the way to do it! I highly recommend these melt in your mouth morsels!
