My Facebook friends and followers have spoken, once again. Y'all can be quite opinionated when you want something. And I like that!
When I offered up the giveaway options for this month, it was a pretty close call. Some wanted the BOGS. Some wanted the Lodge Cast Iron Bundle. And yet others wanted the super radical food processor. Alas, only one can be chosen this month – and the Lodge fans were just so dang vocal! So this month's giveaway is for a Lodge 5-piece cook set. Included is a 10-1/2-Inch round griddle, 8-Inch skillet, 10-1/4-Inch skillet, 5-Quart dutch oven and 10-1/4-Inch iron cover.
January is a pretty fun month to give away this Lodge set too – it's the time of the year for deep, delicious, warm cookin'. Perfect sort of cookin' for a cast iron!
In cast iron skillets, you can make goodness like this dutch baby pancake:
Or this stuffed acorn squash pilaf:
Or even this delicious bread!:
We use our cast iron skillets every single day – be it for frying eggs, sauteeing onions, heating up leftovers (no microwave for us, baby), or caramelizing apples. It's all done in the skillet. And it's all the better for it! But who am I convincing here – y'all voted! You know how radical these things are. So let's get to it, shall we? I will announce the winner the day after the giveaway ends right here on this post – so be sure to check back at the end of the month to see if you've won! Winner has 48 hours to contact me via email to claim the prize.
Good luck, my friends! And happy cooking!
I can see myself making a yummy stew in that dutch oven!
I use my skillet for EVERYTHING. I would love love a Dutch oven for yummy stews, soups and for my bone broth!!
Our hens just started laying so we now have fresh eggs! It is very exciting and I am looking forward to trying all kinds of egg dishes 🙂
I would make everything I could come up with!
I Love cast iron!!!!!!
Honestly I am a bit intimidated by cast iron. I haven’t ever cooked with it but have thought about it often. The first thing I would love to cook up in that skillet is some tortillas. I make these gordita style tortillas, nice and thick, and cooking them in a cast iron skillet would make them that much more authentic! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Love your blog!! Would love to win this! Thanks.
I’d fry eggs with a little cayenne pepper, after I’ve cooked some bacon, of course. 🙂
Fajitas. Lots of fajitas. I would seriously just throw out my old set of pots and pans and use this FOR EVERYTHING. Oh! And dutch apple pancakes! And maple-soaked french toast! And I would try out some cinnamon rolls! How’s that for salivation? 😉 Love this blog and you! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
I’ve made squirrel stew in my cast iron! Not to mention the countless pancakes both buttermilk and pumpkin, corn bread, & eggs just about every morning. But I want more! Next on my list is Miss Kay’s boiled squirrel & dumplings recipe YUM!
I would cook everything I eat in those.
Thanks Shaye!
I love the versatility of cast iron. From the stove top to the oven!!
I would make a yummy roasted red pepper, bacon, feta frittata :0)
I would make anything and everything that I possibly could:)
I’d use it a ton for eggs, but I have lots of other ideas too!
I want to cook up a fresh venison stew in that Dutch Oven!!!
Fried chicken for special occasions 🙂 We raise our own poultry
Everything? Some cakes, brownies (I’m thinking chocolate this morning). And of course some frittatas, eggs, steak. Asparagus, mushrooms, with butter and parmesan.
LOVE our cast iron skillet!
I would make soaked English muffins from your website!!!
I would do an omelet for our weekend breakfasts with all the fillings! 🙂
I would make some fried chicken! With mashed potatoes.
I just got your cookbook for Christmas so I’ll be needing these for some recipes! 🙂
We cook all sorts of stuff in them! Basically it’s the only frying pan we use, so eggs, hashbrowns, pancakes, etc… are cooked in it. Also, I love to cook my shepherd’s pie in cast iron(got that idea from you!) and I don’t think anything can beat cornbread made from fresh ground corn in a cast iron pan cooked in a woodstove. 🙂
Would love to win this set!!
I love cast iron cookware. I use it all the time. Thanks for the opportunity.
I would make cornbread in a skillet – I have yet to try that! I also want to make a roast with potatoes and carrots and onions and rutabagas. Yum… LOL
I’d make a pot of chicken and dumplings, yum!
I need that dutch oven to make some of your Eat, Drink and Be Merry Bread!!!
I simply adore reading about your family and adventures! My 40th birthday is this year. I have never owned a set of cast iron 🙂 Looking forward to this drawing!!
I would definitely bake bread in the Dutch oven.
I would love to win this! I would make homemade sourdough bread, eggs, and more and more and more!!!
In the skillets, I would make some type of fritatta; the dutch oven would be a small batch of chicken-sausage gumbo or the like.
I need to transition to cast iron and get rid of all the “bad” pans I often use. Crossing my fingers!!
I would make cornbread! YUMMMM!
Love cooking cornbread in a cast iron skillet and a cast iron dutch oven makes the BEST soups ever!
Cornbread and beans sound good right now!
My 7 year old son got me a Dutch oven breakfasts cook book for Christmas. I think I’m most looking forward to the cinnamon rolls!
cornbread and stew!
Wild huckleberry cobbler yum!
I always like to make the traditional skillet cornbread, actually it is the only time my daughter will eat corn bread is when I make it in the skillet, I would have a Blast with the things I could do with the dutch oven 🙂 Incidentally, You made Me salivate with your write up of this contest ^ !!!
Eggs for sure! with green peppers and onions!
fritters (preferably of the zucchini variety) and cornbread!
I would LOVE to have this set!!!!
I will be making one of your soup recipes, and a fritatta, and I have to try making bread with it. Oh, I can’t wait to get my hands on this after I win it!
One of my favorite things to make in cast iron is chicken thighs, cooked in butter with garlic and my homemade poultry seasoning, with a splash of lemon juice. Yum!
I’d make just about everything I cook, Maybe I’d make a delicious chicken pot pie or my husband’s fav Chillli. I only have 1 cast iron pan right now so its difficult to cook what I want because its quite small, so the possibilites are endless!
Honestly, I bought this set in November and have been using it multiple times per day ever since! I would love to win this set and give it to my parents as they are dying for a set too. I can honestly say I’ve never had such good corn bread as comes out of the CI skillet.
I love cornbread in skillet!
I’d use it to make bread. Mmmm. Bread.
I’d love to make some tasty banana bread in that dutch oven!
Cornbread, peasant bread and pesole~ and so many other things~
I would definitely make pan seared steaks with a butter/wine sauce. Ooh! And Mushrooms… lots of mushrooms. 🙂
EVERYTHING is better cooked or baked in cast iron! I just had the best pancakes of my life on New Year’s Day…made in a giant cast iron pan. Yummy!!
I have wonderful memories of spending time with my grandmother in her farmhouse kitchen during my adolescent years in the 60’s. The meals she taught me to prepare on a wood burning cook stove in cast iron pots and pans produced such a unique flavor. Sadly, the standard kitchens of today make duplicating the taste of those recipes impossible. Seeing a resurgence in cast iron makes me smile and makes me want to go back to my roots. Grandma would be proud.
We are transitioning away from all plastics, teflon and anything bad for us. We can definitely use this!!
I love cast iron cookware!
I know it seems simple, but I always crave cornbread from an iron skillet! Yum!
Hmmm…some carmelized onions for French onion soup
Brussel Sprouts with Bacon! mmmm, bacon.
I’ve been wanting to get a set like this for awhile to cook all sorts of delicious recipes.
Cooking up love for my family is why this needs to be in my kitchen.
Since I just bought From Scratch, I’m thinking I would make some of that fabulous looking bread in the dutch oven first thing!
I want a cast-iron dutch oven so badly!
I would make that bread in a heart-beat!
Can’t wait to make a homemade pineapple upside down cake with these.
I would make a cobbler or a southern skillet dish! I’m hungry writing this!!
and some skillet cornbread 🙂
I would start with some beef and broccoli stir fry.
not sure, never used one for anything more than bacon, always been afraid to use cast iron. this would be all new to me.
Oh I would just love this! Slowly switching over. Pick me!!!! 😉
I just got my first cast iron skillet and I love it so far. I definitely need more! My favorite thing I’ve cooked so far are simple potatoes fried in butter. The cast iron makes gives it a golden crisp crust that you just can’t get with other skillets. Believe, I tried a second batch in a different skillet at the same time.
This would be so wonderful to give my daughter who is getting married.
I would love to bake bread in my cast iron
I learned that carmelizing onions goes super fast when using cast iron. I would love to use the dutch oven for making homemade french onion soup! And a ton of other things!!!
Love cooking with cast iron
I have dreamed of baking big, crusty loaves of no-knead bread and cast iron is the only thing that can do that justice
Thick, rich pot roast with garden veggies
The first thing I would make would be squaw corn. We used to make it when I was a kid, and I haven’t had it in years. It’s best over a campfire. You cook bacon in a cast-iron skillet, then toss in some onions and saute them in the bacon grease. The last ingredient is corn. My mom would freeze dozens of ears’ worth over the summer. The corn can go in with the onions or a little after. Then the bacon is crumbled back in, and you season it well with salt and pepper. We could gobble this up with eggs in the morning for breakfast, and it was amazing! I can still remember sitting on a log shivering and watching the sun cleared the fog off the mountain on a cold autumn morning with a steaming plate of squaw corn balanced on my knees.
Making the dutch baby pancake in cast iron pan. Or a large chocolate chip cookie. Lots of eggs. Yum
Mmm….some awesome scrambled eggs, Dutch Oven Apple Cakes, Hash browns. Anything fried. ok….hitting up the kitchen now.
I would love to be able to switch away from non-stick for good! Searing meat, frying bacon, eggs… mmm….
Although I have cooked in cast iron skillets many times, I have never used a dutch oven. I look forward to making artisan bread in one! Thank you for this great giveaway!
Pancakes with blueberries, rasberries and blackberries. I’m also thinking about flatbreads sprinkled with a touch of mozzarella cheese. I could go on and on!
My husband and i are empty nesters. but or neighbors have NINE children . once a month we have all the children over and parents (if they choose to come) we make a big campfire outside and go to cooking. we only have one dutch oven,so after cooking the meal we clean it out and put in the desert. Brownies were the best ever. We sure could use more pieces to use what an exciting way to get the next generation cooking with cast iron!
Oh gosh, I would use them for literally everything! Maybe a glazed cornish hen and some potatoes fried in butter!
I had researching for a good cast iron skillet set on my to do list! So thanks for saving me some time and energy, and maybe even some moola! My husband is a nursing student and we are surviving on my income while trying to eat healthy, whole food and replace some critically import household items for the betterment of our health. I’d love to win!
I would make corned beef hash,hashbrowns,jamaican jerk chicken,fried chicken,pork chops, french fries,sauteed mushrooms,and pancit.
I just used one of my cast iron pans to make buttermilk biscuits yesterday morning and they turned out AMAZING!!!!:) You can never have enough cast iron in my opinion!!!! I love that it is made in the USA too!!!!:)
Cast iron – love it! I save bacon grease for frying, be it eggs or fried potatoes, a little in the bottom of the skillet for baking a pan of corn bread, Mmm …
CornBread!!
Fried chicken is the best in cast iron, roast beef in dutch oven comes out so tasty and tender. Have to have a griddle for homemade tortillas! so many ways to use this set
Thanks Shaye! I’ve been trying to build by cast iron collection, this is great! Also, the auto-populated image to pin is a giveaway for boots, FYI. 🙂
I’ve never used a cast iron pan but it looks so versatile…I”d love to make a nice seared steak.

I would cook cornbread, soup, biscuits, etc. The possibilities are endless!!
Biscuits and gravy!
I would make a great stew, breads, fried potatoes, you name it!
Blackened fish fillets in that skillet. Some hearty stew in the dutch oven. Mmmm so many options!
I can see myself making a yummy stew in that dutch oven!
Actually, it would be my husband who would make his spicy chilli that includes either ground beef or small chunks of beef with canned tomatoes, kidney beans, jalapeno or serrano peppers (with maybe a sprinkle of chopped habanero peppers for more kick – yes, we like it spicy!), other spices, etc.
How ironic that I was just looking into getting some yesterday! Save me some money random picker!
Hmmm…what would I make? I’m partial to Dutch babies but hey you can make anything in these….how about apple crumble, brownies, or some good eggs and bacon….it’s breakfast time for me:)
I would cook some delicious southern fried chicken.
I am a simple cook. I would use them for eggs, French toast, etc.
i’d make a spicy steak fajita with zucchini fries
I would use these for everything! I would love to try baking bread in them or some version of chicken pot pie.
If I win these the first thing I am making is fried corn. Where I will find corn on the cob is a mystery, but a girl can hope!
I’d cook up so many wonderful, witchy dishes! From fried honeycakes and pork roast to corn and tomato gratin!
I love making gumbo in a great dutch oven! Thanksgiving wouldn’t be right without homemade buttermilk cornbread to make the dressing with:) And I just recently purchased a compulsive check out line buy cook book: Lodge’s Best Ever One-Skillet Recipes. I don’t have all the cast iron goodies to make all the recipes!!!!! This would be a great give away to win. Then I could return my mama’s skillet to her…. or give her the new one & let her season it up great like she does:)
this would be an incredible addition to my kitchen!!!
EVERYTHING tastes better when cooked in cast iron!
Fried chicken….done and done
I would love to make skillet steak 🙂
I have all those pieces, and then some. I love my cast iron. It would be great to give to my daughter and her hubby.
Maybe some cream of asparagus soup in the dutch oven…I’ve been thinking about making that with my frozen asparagus. Or in the skillet, some squash with rice, mushrooms and sage.
I’m coveting a cast iron dutch oven right now for those times when I want to brown meat before stewing – I want to make beef, sweet potato, and poblano pepper stew!
I cook everything in my cast iron…I especially love bacon though!
I pretty much love using cast iron for everything and anything. All my stovetop and oven needs: baking, roasting, cooking, sauteeing, frying, etc. I’d love to have this set to have more pans available!
I just moved from Hawaii back to the mainland and had to leave all my cast iron behind because it was too heavy to ship. I would love to replace it!
oops, and I would blacken a big ol’ steak the first chance I got 🙂
I can’t wait to make so many dinner dishes, but first, English muffins!
Great giveaway!
bread, slow baked creole rice, baked eggs and cream, tons of soups and all day stews, applesauce….i use my dutch oven at least once a day and my skillet exclusively. Oh to have the option to cook and bake simultaneously!
I think this would be a perfect addition to our new homestead. We love using our cast iron dutch ovens when camping and in the house when we are home. I think I would use the set first to cook venison burgers.
breads and english muffins! my hubs and i love those muffins, and i’d love to make some cheaper, better-for-you alternatives to bagged. i’d also like some extra crispy golden goodness on my meats and veggies. you can’t go wrong with cast iron!
I would make cornbread, for sure!
wow.. I need these. I wish I could win.
Love cast iron and would be thrilled to win this set…but wondering about the ‘Pin It’ link. The pin that showed up was the Bog boots from the December giveaway. Weird. Keep on keeping on.
I’m not much of a cook, but between my From Scratch and this set I’m sure something wonderful would happen!
I would use this set to make a hearty beef stew.
I got a 7 quart dutch oven for Christmas from my parents. Less than an hour after I opened it I stuffed a 5 lb pork roast and loaded it up with craut for our New Year’s Dinner! My hubby just grinned all evening:) We are about to install a wood stove in our new home and he is excited about all the good food coming out of that kettle. How amazing it would be to have a whole set to cook with! Great give away idea:)! Thanks!
I would love to win this set and the first thing I would try is bread! Thank you!
I would love to have a set like this… would use the dutch oven to make brownies while camping with my son.
I am a sucker for cooking up biscuits, gravy and bacon with fresh eggs. We could have it for breakfast lunch, or dinner…
Mmmm…the dutch baby seems great. Or a frittata! Yummy!
I like using cast iron skillets to make pies in. I love making apple pies, pot pies, and tomato pies in them.
I want to cook EVERYTHING in those!
I love to make “gas house” eggs in my cast iron skillet. Sometimes called eggs in a nest or eggs in a basket. I use A LOT of pastured bacon grease on the bread, fry it up on both sides, then continue with a pastured egg.
So delicious!
My husband LOVES cast iron! First thing would be a delicious pork roast in the dutch oven! Oh! That would be bliss!
I’d like to use these pans to make fried chicken, beef stew, cornbread, pineapple upside down cake….

Ooooh! I would love to win this!! We love apples in our dutch baby for breakfast!
Just found your blog and love it. Will take a chance on the drawing while I’m here.
I would probably transition as much cooking as possible to cast iron if I had these. However, I’m sure it would be a steep learning curve as I’ve never owned any and neither did my parents. This is a switch I’ve been wanting to make for awhile though!
I love cast iron, I only have a little skillet right now, I would love to cook more with dutch ovens.
Indoor smores! I saw a recipe using a cast iron pan and been jonesing since!! HAHAHA
I would love to make cornbread!
I’m wanting to simplify our kitchen and get some good quality cast iron to replace a lot of our worn out nonstick. I absolutely love dutch baby pancakes (put a little lemon and powdered sugar – ooh ooh!)… and I’d really love use the big one to bake bread in as I search for the perfect crust. 🙂
I dont know about making you salivate, but I really could use this set for camping. I take a small cast iron, but need that Dutch oven for things like chili and the family fav., lasagne soup.

I would cook up some of my dad’s favorite dishes. He has his great grandparents cast irons that were handed down to his mother and then to him. I have very fond memories of my father cooking EVERYTHING in the cast irons and still does to this day. I would start with breakfast: country ham, red eye gravy, grits and eggs…then for lunch I would bake a meatloaf and for dinner cook some pork chops. YUM ; ]
I would make every meal in these cast iron skillets! I love to cook with cast iron. Probably the first thing would be chicken fried steak fingers. My husbands favorite meal!
Still thinking about these pans….now I’ve got a craving for corned beef hash. Do you have a recipe for that Shaye? Yum!
I bought a cast iron skillet a while ago, and I don’t think it was seasoned well, so I gave up on using it. My brother asked for it. Now I keep seeing everyone using them, and I want to give it a chance again!
I just got my first piece of cast iron, the large campfire piece! Perfect for off grid cooking! I would love to add more pieces
Probably a venison stew. So yummy!

I would love to win these. My son moved to North Dakota to work in the oil fields and “borrowed” mine until he could buy some of his own. I don’t think I’m getting my wonderful, perfectly seasoned, well loved, 25 year old set back. I miss them. I know he wants to keep them around because he’s homesick and there are so many fond memories tied up in those pans so I’m not pushing the issue because he knows their value.
Would LOVE to add some more cast iron to my kitchen!
I’d be making German Pancakes!! Amongst of ocurse lots of other things! I LOVE cast Iron! 😀

Jenn

Frying eggs !

LOVE LOVE LOVE cast iron cookware!!
On a Saturday morning, a yummy vegetarian omelet ! Yum Yum
I remember my grandmother cooking with cast iron skillets and would like to have my own set to use.
I love your blog. It covers just about all the things that make me happy. Would love to win a set of Cast Iron pots and pans from Lodge. Cast Iron is awesome and we’d probably all be healthier if we went back to cooking in them. Plus, they last forever. Who could ask for more.
What wouldn’t I cook…chicken, biscuits, potatoes, gravy. So much more!! 🙂
Ooooh! I would love to win this set:) Thanks for the opportunity!
I would make beef stew, pumpkin and apple pancakes, chili, etc!
German Apple Pancake in an iron skillet. I made this a long time ago and when see an iron skillet, it makes me think of my mother’s skillet in which I baked the pancake.
Just came across your blog through the link Empowered Sustenance gave for your Butter Bites. They sound so yummy. Anyway… I’m especially excited about that pot for campfire stews!
We only cook in cast iron, it makes the BEST pineapple upside down cake
Cast iron cooking is the natural way of cooking many years ago. My daughter and her husband cook all the time with this cook ware. Would be a blessing to receive this item.
I could see making some good skillet cornbread and some beef stew in the dutch oven!
Cast iron is awesome! My mother-in-law has a well seasoned skillet that she cooks everything in! I would love to win!
I am trying to cook more from scratch this year and it would be great to use this cast iron set!
I’d really like to make the bread. See if the dutch oven bread is all they claim it to be.
I’d make cornbread, eggs, soups and stews, roasts. Everything and anything!
What wouldn’t I cook in cast Iron?! I think I’d start out with a roast in the dutch oven. MMMMMMM. Or, maybe beans and ham.
Cheddar cheese corn bread. And fried chicken.
First thing I make will be a peach brown betty with the last of the white peaches I have from summer. Topped with fresh whipped cream.
Cornbread!
I would love to cook up some caramel apple pie.
I have a scrumptious, to die for recipe for pineapple-coconut-banana upside-down cake. And just so ya know,… Every time I see the picture of the frittata you made, I want to climb through the computer screen. Sadly, I have yet to acquire any cast iron cookware… Sniff.
I would bake bread in the dutch oven. Honestly though, I would love the entire set and use daily.
Roasted cabbage and onions!
I am been drooling over cast iron sets…..I would love to win!
Deep dish chocolate fudge cake!
I love Cast Iron cookware!
We’re going to slaughter the first few extra roosters here on our little farm any day now, so I would try braised poultry thighs, along with black eyed peas and kale in another pot. The dutch oven would be greased with lard and then I’d bake a loaf of whole wheat bread to slather coconut oil on to go along with dinner! Yum, now I am hungry! Thanks for your rockin’ site and giveaways!
I would use that lovely dutch oven to make a big pot of beef stew and cornbread in the skillet. Yuuuuuuuummmmm!
I would make cornbread
I would make a pineapple upside down cake in the large skillet, YUM!
I would bake my sourdough bread, fry chicken, and make wonderfully healthy casseroles… 🙂
I would use every single pot to make curried chicken with a rich, savory sauce, quinoa and rice as a base and mountains of toppings. Thanks for offering this contest!
Fried chicken, cheddar cheese jalapeno cornbread, sourdough bread in the oven…
I would make a great sausage, egg, potato, cheese and zuchinni frittata.
After living in Thailand as missionaries for the past 8 years (now back in the US), our family has been missing Thai food. Would love to have this cookware set to prepare some different foods for my family such as Kaow Soi Gai (a coconut milk based soup with red curry, fresh cilantro, shallots, green onion, yellow Chinese noodles, and chicken). A family favorite!
I love cooking with cast-iron! Easy cleanup and the addition of iron to my diet feels great!
I have been dying to get a set of cast iron cookware! My old pots and pans are hideous and leeching out “who knows what” into our food. Keeping my fingers, toes, and eyes crossed hoping that I’m the lucky winner!! 😉
(And the first thing I’d cook is that drool-worthy looking dutch baby!)
I have a GMO-free, gluten free cornbread recipe that could use one of these skillets for sure! I’ve been making do with a pyrex dish, but ya know, it’s just not the same. 🙂
Maybe not too mouth-watering, but the first thing I would probably cook is a nice breakfast frittata or quiche. Start with caramelizing some diced onions and slices mushrooms, then adding the hot skillet, the mixture of eggs, chopped red bells, spinach, chicken apple sausage, olives, hash-browns and tomatoes (with s&p) and putting it in a preheated oven (350) to bake for about 40 minutes.
Also, my husband is a dutch oven connoisseur and I’m sure he would make something fabulous with the dutch oven. Maybe something simple but so good like a peach cobbler with spiced bottled peaches and a gluten-free cake mix, just so both me and my baby could eat it too.
Pan seared pork chops with country gravy. Fried potatoes and onions.
A simple flour dusted steak. Yum!
I have been wanting a cook set like this for ages. It would be such a blessing to win them! Thanks so much for offering such a generous prize!!
I gave away all my non stick Caplalon pans and am using the cast that I have, but we could sure use the full set on our little piece of ground!
Wow. what wouldn’t I cook in this set! I love frittas with fresh tomatos, peppers and onions from the garden. Grate some Parmesan on that and I’m in heaven!!
Chicken(organic air dried), Leek and Potato stew, Homemade Hot and Fluffy Buttermilk Biscuits with Raw Honey Butter and a Blueberry Crumble A La Mode.
Oh, anything Indian. Yum!
Spinach and onion frittata!
I would make cornbread, stews, fry eggs with my homemade lard all with the cast iron set. The list and possibilities are endless.
I would love to make homemade fajitas, tortillas for dinner and biscuits for breakfast.
The first thing that I would cook in my new pans is a big country style breakfast with bacon eggs and hashbrowns.
Id make Cornbread, or a berry crisp desert, possibly some fried chicken, or even some crispy pork chops!
I would LOVE this so much!
experimenting!
Oooo… choices, choices…. probably fry up some bacon, then use the grease to do a little pan fried breaded chicken. Or potato wedges. Or both, come to think of it.
My husband loves all cast iron products! I would have him make me a big chocolate chip cookie first!!
WOW!!! I love cast iron. i recently moved out of my parents house and am trying to build my own set similar to theirs. I use my skillet daily and would love more.
I use a skillet for just about every thing, even too reheat food. But i love to cook homemade bread in it.
Chili and Cornbread!! Just like my grandpa used to make!
My first meal would be a dutch oven apple pie! I used to make a similar dish when backpacking (in the coals, tucked into a fry pan), it’s one of the things I miss the most about backpacking through the Pasayten Wilderness and I would love to recreate that with my sweetheart.
