I have a simple Southwest Chicken recipe that I cook outside using just the power of the sun!
One of the included vessels when I bought my solar oven is a double-stack black enamelware covered pan. That will be perfect for today’s dish: Southwest Chicken served on a bed of seasoned brown rice.
Quick & easy, mix it & forget it. The whole meal cooks at the same time!

I’ve made my own homemade mayonnaise for a long time. But recently I got to thinking… BACON! Now I almost always make bacon-flavored mayonnaise instead. It’s easy!

Y’all know I like to make things myself as opposed to going out to buy it. I decided to whip up some rosemary crackers made with olive oil & garlic. YUM! I have that amazing rosemary bush right outside my door and I’ve ALWAYS got olive oil. Let’s go!

When we travel to west Texas to visit my aunt, she always picks up a couple of loaves of our favorite jalapeno-cheese bread from a nearby deli for us to enjoy while we were there.
I wondered if I could make a loaf of that spicy, cheesy bread at home. So I decided that the next time I was baking RancherMan his favorite sandwich bread I’d make one loaf into a jalapeno-cheese bread.
I figured it would as simple as rolling out the dough, sprinkling chopped jalapenos and some grated jalapeno muenster cheese given to us by a very sweet friend before rolling the dough into a loaf before baking.
But did it work?

I take the scrap dough from homemade biscuits & make a small pan of cinnamon rolls. They bake right alongside my biscuits and offer us an extra treat with breakfast!
