Mexican Cornbread

A favorite of all campers is cornbread with a big slab of real butter.
All of us have bought a box of cornbread that’s premixed on the store
shelf.  But once you have tasted these recipes made from scratch you
will wonder why you ever did. I was going to post another recipe to share
here, but I came across this Mexican Cornbread recipe with several
additional types with it. I knew my readers would want all the information
I have found on this, with quick links to other Mexican cornbread recipes,
variations on ingredients & several directions.  This site even provides history
of Mexican cornbread.  Talk about a good thing to be stirring up in your
iron cookware. Why not make some good old cornbread for dinner?
There are also included, quick & easy dinner recipes. Everything from
chili to lasagna is included on this web page. Iron cookware is not just for
camping so dig out your Iron cookware this afternoon & enjoy

Take down that big camping pan off the shelf to make

Some call them the alligator of the north

With their big mouth full of teeth attacking every species of fish in a lake for lunch, they are one of the most aggressive and elusive fish that we have gone after. There isn’t any wonder why anglers go after this great fish in our many lakes in northern Michigan.

With the trek across the great Mackinaw Bridge there is an abundance of lakes that are known for large Northern Pike. But don’t think it’s an easy thing going after these monsters, as any native fisherman knows that they got that way by being the elusive fish they are. Usually they have been caught once or twice then got away to live another day.

Something that always sets an old fisherman back in the boat seat is watching the look of a new fisherman when they hook into one of these monsters, with light tackle having to play the fish for most of an hour to get them into the boat. With that big mouth full of teeth & power to pull the boat around makes it  as exciting as anything you can imagine.

There are some things that are an absolute must  have. These fish are great to eat, one of the tastiest fish you can put in your frying pan. So to start things off, you’re going to need a big cast iron skillet to cook your catch in. Either a seasoned pan or one of the nice enamel coated cast iron cookware skillets a lot of people prefer.

Second thing you’re going to need is a good quality knife to clean your fish with. I like all fisherman, have a preferred knife that I’m pretty partial to. I’m going to share a site that I think has some of the best quality fishing & hunting knives available at  great prices.

Go to steel hunting knifes for great quality.

There is a third thing you’re going to need to go on this great fishing trip. That would be a great love for the outdoors while having a good attitude knowing all days on that lake are not going to have you coming home with fish. As long as you like fishing, that is what it’s all about. Catching is just a nice bonus that comes along with time spent in the outdoors.

Do not forget the most important part.  To share this fishing trip with a great fishing partner. That special person that won’t tell where you went even if they threaten to cut off their left hand. Not really!

I have my fishing buddy that makes every trip special. From the trip to the lake with old stories of past experiences, to that time being stuck in the mud. There is nothing better than having that special friend along that knows what & where you go on this trip is something special that only you share. Only true sportsmen & women know that feeling.

Case of cabin fever

There was a serious gleam in her eyes when the words camper came out of his mouth. With a straight face and a hard look he mentioned we need to pack things for camping. There is a serious case of cabin fever going on this time of year & we have discovered some great places close to home to cure the problem. Indoor camping this time of year is a great idea for cabin fever cure at this spring break refuge at Kalahari resort. Start with a great water park that will raise your excitement even on those cold winter days. If it’s mini golf you like, they have that for you too & a great fitness center. This refuge is loaded with many family activities for spring break & Easter specials. Of course what honest camper would take off thinking of spring without the camper?

That gleam was in her eye and that look on his face as they loaded all the gear in that old motor home. They can call it whatever they want, but we are going camping after all. Funny thing about a cabin fever is that you never really admit it until it’s here & set in. It’s been a long winter in this old house thinking about our Dutch oven recipes we will be cooking this summer. Those good old burnt hot dogs and marshmallows cooked over the fire put a smile on everyone’s face. While packing the trekking poles we stopped to think back on that trip last summer to an adventure we will never forget. So is it any wonder that we would be taking the camper to stay in this trip too? After all it just wouldn’t be camping without the gear we always take along.

We have that old motor home packed with all of our memories & will be heading down the road to that spring break retreat. We hope to see all you there; we will be the ones with the hot dogs and marshmallows!
