This awesome bread was first brought to my attention by Vince Gee who told me where to find it (by Googling “New York Times Bread Recipe”) in around 2012. I had great success several times and then bombed several in a row. Use fresh yeast, not the stuff that’s been sitting around in the cupboard for the last 5 years. It’s super easy, takes about 15 minutes to prepare and is a great way to get a newbie baking bread.

Pie Iron Recipes
In the summer of 2018 got our Vistabule Teardrop, and got back into camping. With that came pie iron cooking. I saved these few recipes off the pie iron package. 
Camping Foil Corn, sausage green beans and potatoes
No-bake Energy Bars
I first found this recipe online when I began riding again in 2010. I got tired of spending as much as I was on pre-packaged energy bars. On a 1-10 scale, they’re probably a 6 or 7. I’ll keep looking for a better recipe. These turn pink from the tart cherries. It’s kind of strange.

Fresh & Light Green Bean Casserole
When I created McClellandfamily.com/recipes, I thought the ONE person who would really love it-really get a lot of use our of it-was my mom, Karen. This is the one recipe that she ever uploaded here (on June 9, 2008.) I’d add a picture, but I have no idea what this recipe is supposed to look like. I guess I’ll have to make it and find out.

Steve’s Basic Potato Salad
When I was about 17, I needed a basic potato salad recipe. This is the first one I found. I’ve been making it ever since. It’s very basic, but it’s a classic.

Blue Cheese and Carmelized Onion Squares
We first tried this recipe out at the Dinner Club Christmas get-together at the Wassermanns. We got it from Epicurious.com. They say: “Sweet carmelized onions and pungent blue cheese make a good pair in this simply elegant appetizer.”
Of course, ours didn’t look anything like the picture, but do they ever?

Cold ‘n Spicy Mexican Tostadas
This is an easy, no-cook, throw-together appetizer that works great if you have leftover chicken. Great for making ahead of time because it gets slightly better with age. Try using it as a cracker spread, too. You can make it spicy or mellow, depending on your audience. This was first served in the McClelland Household Christmas eve, 1997.
Serve it in a bowl at a party and let your guests spoon their own onto tostada shells or as a bit fancier hors d’oeuvre, use tortilla rounds and serve them on a platter. You could also serve a tostada as a side dish with avocados, grated cheese and sour creme on top.
