This recipe makes a big batch of soup. I use a stock pot. It's too big to fit in the Sun Oven with the leveling tray in place, so I remove it and place a rack on the floor of the cooking chamber. This soup freezes well and goes great with the crunchy crackers I made...

If you've ever had Dr. Kracker crackers you know they're extremely crunchy, amazingly delicious, and kind of expensive. I love them, not only because they taste so good, but at just 2 weight watchers points per cracker (and they're big crackers) they're a great deal...

With a Global Sun Oven, turkey and stuffing doesn't have to be for holidays only. This method is even easier than the rolled up turkey breast from my previous post. I used turkey thighs but if you prefer white meat a breast would work just as well. Packaged stuffing...

Even with the uncertain weather we've been having I still managed to get some solar cooking done today. It was overcast when I got up but by mid morning the sun started peeking through the clouds and I set my Sun Oven up even though I still didn't know what was going...

I like this simple recipe for baked beans that I found over at epicurious.com. It has a hint of maple syrup without being overly sweet. It goes great with pulled pork. Solar Baked Beans 1 pound dry navy beans, picked over and rinsed 1/4 pound piece salt pork, rind...

Sometimes I'm just not in the mood to make everything from scratch, especially if I'm not feeling well, but I don't like canned chicken noodle; the noodles are always way too soggy. This super easy recipe is a compromise. It uses canned chicken and broth, but if you...

Last week's fickle weather made solar cooking a little tricky. The mornings were mostly cloudy. Around noon the sun would make a feeble appearance, just enough to get my hopes up, then it would be intermittent sun and clouds for the remainder of the day. So when I got...

I don't really like eggplant that much; unless it's deep fried. But every now and then I give it another chance. I got this recipe from 'The Silver Spoon' cookbook. It's translated from Italian and claims to be Italy's best selling "culinary bible", however, it's not...

Last Sunday's biscotti adventure was so much fun I wanted to give it another go; not to mention the fact that we polished off the last one days ago. But two batches of cookies that contain over a stick of butter in two weeks is a little too much for my monthly calorie...

This morning I taught a Sun Oven class at Honeyville Farms in Chandler AZ, so, of course, it was overcast. Always the optimist, I'd gone ahead and defrosted some bread to bake for it and brought along the box of Zatarain's rice and beans despite the negative weather...
