A cross between a muffin and a biscuit, these savory muffins can be served in place of bread. They go great with soup or salads. The recipe yields up to one and a half dozen muffins that can be baked in two batches. Use two cross-stacked six-muffin tins or silicone...
No meal is complete without at least one side dish. Luckily, even when you're using a large roasting pan, there's almost always enough room in the Sun Oven to squeeze in some veggies. These roasted carrots are the perfect accompaniment to the Chicken Masala recipe in...
