Wheat and Flax Muffins

 Wheat and Flax Muffins - Makes 1 dozen

Ingredients:

1/2 cup neutral-flavored oil

1/4 cup white sugar

1/4 cup light brown sugar

2 large eggs

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup white wheat flour

1 cup ground flax

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking soda

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla and mix until very well combined.
3. Add the flour, flax, baking powder, salt, and baking soda
4. Mix the batter with a rubber spatula until no dry streaks remain (don’t over mix or the muffins might be dry and tough).
5. Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tin (about 2/3 full). If you have leftover batter and are worried about overfilling the muffin cups, bake a 2nd batch with the remaining batter.
6. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with coarse sugar, if using. Bake for 15 minutes until the tops spring back lightly to the touch and/or a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Dutch Oven Chicken

The best dinner while on a family campout! Serves 8.

Ingredients:
1/2 lb bacon
8 chicken breasts
Flour
8-10 potatoes (cut in quarters)
8-10 carrotts (cut in 1 inch pieces)
1 onion (cut into eights)
1 stick butter
1 can 7UP
3/4 cup water
Salt & Pepper
Lowry's Seasoning Salt
4 Cups Shredded Cheese
Coals
Dutch Oven

Directions:
Heat coals up for approximately 30 minutes.  Cook bacon, remove.  Dredge chicken in flour and brown for 10-15 minutes.  Pile vegetables on chicken, add butter, 7UP, water, salt & pepper, and tons of Lowry's Seasoning Salt.  Put lid on dutch oven and top it with 8 coals.  Cook for 45 minutes, then carefully lift the lid off with pliers (be careful to not drop the coals into the chicken, it tastes awful that way!), Using a long skewering fork pull the meat to the top and cover with the cheese.  Replace lid and coals (carefully!) and cook for 10 more minutes. Enjoy!
