High Altitude Breads

High Altitude Breads
Can you make bread and buns in the mountains?
We got a call from California this week, “I can make great bread in L.A. but at my cabin in Montana, it doesn’t turn out so well.”
We would like to help. This summer, you might find yourself at a cabin or in an RV high in the mountains. That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy great bread.
Yeast products are not as sensitive to altitude as chemically leavened products. We have worked with yeasted breads at almost 11,000 feet in the ........Click here to read more.....

Who Says Vegetables Have To Be Boring?

Who Says Vegetables Have To Be Boring?
Eat your veggies – especially your lettuce. But don’t confine yourself to iceberg lettuce or salads! Darker greens have about the same number of calories and carbs -very low! – but pack a lot more punch in the vitamins and other nutrient categories. By substituting radicchio, watercress, escarole or spinach for the iceberg lettuce, you add vitamin C, riboflavin’s, manganese and other essential vitamins that aren’t present in l ........Click here to read more.....

Recipe: egg whites

Recipe: egg whites
Egg Whites
Here is the way to perfectly whip egg whites. A copper bowl is ideal, because copper reacts with the albumin in egg whites and makes for better foaming.
Wash your bowl with vinegar and kosher salt, then rinse well just before adding the whites. Use a whisk or an electric hand mixer on a low setting until the whites are foamy. At this point, add a pinch of cream of tartar to stabilize the whites. This helps them to hold their shape longer. Continue to whip. If ........Click here to read more.....

Recipe: spiced cheese potatoes

Recipe: spiced cheese potatoes
Spiced Cheese Potatoes
This recipe was delicious. I have a slightly similar one that uses Tabasco sauce instead of the cayenne pepper. However, the combination of the cayenne pepper and garlic cloves make this recipe more than just a cut above what I have been using. As you mentioned, this dish has a slight kick, but it wasn’t so strong that my kids wouldn’t eat it.
The only thing that I did differently was use freshly grated parmesan cheese. ........Click here to read more.....

Recipe: Spotted Pup
Spotted Pup (Cowboy Pudding)
The cowboys called it ?Spotted Pup? ?cuz it matched their pup?s complexions.
This is an authentic trail drive recipe as it requires no eggs. Chuck wagon cooks seldom saw eggs. Most chuck wagons carried no sugar and Sorghum syrup (one cup) was used instead of sugar. If Sorghum is used use one cup less of the milk. Milk also was a rarity on chuck wagons ? so this recipe was usually made with canned milk. This is a great recipe for packing in if ........Click here to read more.....
