Curried Lentil Stew with rice by Nancy Miyasaki

This curried lentil stew is an awesome winter dish. It will warm you and sooth you with its soft texture and rich flavor. Vegetarians can leave out the bacon and ham. Those who relish Indian flavors can double the tumeric, cumin, ginger, and cloves.

My Favorite Everyday Chili by Denise Sherin

There's nothing like a hearty warm bowl of chili. My son loves chili and loves scooping it with tortilla chips. I know some people serve chili over rice or pasta but I am a chili purist. Just chili in the bowl and a nice piece of italian bread. Serve it how you like and top it with what ever you like.. shredded cheddar, sour cream…

Buffalo Tacos by Cynthia Sperry

My favorite camping dish of all. We used to enjoy this on family campouts in Death Valley and Trips with the cousins in Washington.

NAVY BEAN SOUP by Rochel

Soak the beans overnight or for at least 8-12 hours before beginning the recipe. Cook in cast iron for better flavor and an authentic re-enactment.
