What's new with On The QT

We are so excited to be starting our new blog!  Now you can read about us and see what we do in our everyday cooking lives.  Do we really eat well all the time?  Of course we do, even while camping!  The whole QT gang just got back from a camping retreat filled with friends, good times and great food!

Friday evening we headed out to Henry Coe State Park.  We packed a dinner we planned to cook in the campfire that evening.  Tent? Check. Gas? Check. Sleeping Bags? Check.  Campfire? Um.... No Campfire?!

Ah, well, the best laid plans.  When we arrived, we threw our herbed ground meat over a bed of spinach and fresh red pepper packets on the gas stove.  The smell permeated our campsite as we got everything all set up and the meat steamed to perfection.  It was amazing!

Saturday morning only got better.  Carrot cake pancakes.  Yes, I did say carrot cake.  For breakfast.  In the form of a pancake.  It was *AWESOME*!  Perfectly puffed, slightly sweet and a tiny bit crunchy from some nuts thrown in.  We were ready for the day after that breakfast!

Ever had a quinoa salad for dinner while camping?  Neither had I! Quinoa, avocado, cilantro, grilled zuchinni, and fresh garlic.  Need I say more?  Who wants to go camping now???
