Brats & Eggs
I cook this for supper when I’m camping, but it was inspired by my days in Wisconsin where brats were often served as a breakfast sausage. You can mix things up by using different vegetables, different seasonings, or different cheese. As long as there are …

S’more’s Bars
We all love that combination of graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallow. Using a favorite cereal, we can make a delicious bar with these same flavors to go with our coffee or a glass of milk. These are a no bake bar so they come together …
