Here’s My go to. Cooking times may vary based on desired doneness. Quick, easy and delicious.


Salt, pepper, meat of choice(mines beef), and fire. Wood or charcoal preferred

Take one can of jack mackerel and drain off the excess juice. Take one can of smoked sardines in oil, and add it to the mackerel, oil and all. Add honey while mixing the sardines and mackerel until you can just start to smell a little bit of sweet. Put on crackers, down dirt holes, or in DPs.

OK here are 2 easy ones I like in the fall/winter time.

Stew. Cube up some root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, rutabagas, turnips, radishes, sweet potatoes, whatever you like) and put them in a crockpot. Slice an onion and throw that in. Now, throw some cubed meat in there...beef or venison or whatever. Add about 2 cups of water and 2 or 3 beef bullion cubes (or beef base) or use beef broth instead of water. Cook on low about 8 hours or high for 4. About a half hour before it's done, you can throw in some canned or frozen green beans if you want. Then about 15 minutes before you eat, mix up either a couple tablespoons of flour in hot water, or cornstarch in cold water.... and stir that in to thicken the gravy.... cook it on high with the lid off for this part. Done.

This next one works good for pork chops or boneless chicken breast. Throw some cubed up potatoes in the crockpot, carrots if ya want... an onion sliced... then put the chops or breasts on top of that and add 2 cans of "cream of" soup... any flavor... I usually mix it up... like one mushroom one celery... or one celery one chicken... whatever. Again cook on low for 8 hours or high for four.

… that’s borderline child abuse

Just give them a Sunkist and head to work, deal with the aftermath when you get home.
