There's really no excuse not to eat veggies when you cook in a Global Sun Oven. Even if you've got a pot going with your main course in it you can probably find a way to fit in some sides. Potatoes or corn on the cob (unhusked) can be placed along side the pot on the...
While it is possible to roast a whole turkey in the GSO (more on that in a future post) there may be times when you don't want to deal with all the leftovers. Turkey breast and your favorite stuffing can be rolled up into an easy roast that's ready in under two hours...
Slow sun roasted tomatoes are a good project for a partially cloudy day. Even if the Sun Oven's temperature drops to the 200ºF range they'll come out fine. They can be used to make pasta sauce or stored in the refrigerator and used in sandwiches. This recipe is for a...
These muffins couldn't be easier to make. All you need is an box of cornbread mix, a ripe banana, and milk. As the days get longer you'll be able to enjoy them earlier each time you make them. This batch was ready by 10, just in time for a morning coffee break. Banana...
When a recipe calls for sauteing prior to adding the bulk of the ingredients it can, as I've mentioned in previous posts, be done either on the stove or in the GSO. For me the choice usually depends on my mood. Sometimes I prefer the convenience of starting out inside...
This North African inspired chicken stew can be served over couscous or rice. It requires no browning or sauteing so it can be done completely in the GSO. Homemade broth can be used if you happen to have any on hand. If you don't want to fuss with a whole chicken you...

In this recipe the meatballs don't need to be browned, making it ideal for the GSO. I usually serve them over spaghetti for a classic Italian-American favorite. Any leftovers could be used for meatball sandwiches. Ingredients 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs 1/4 cup dry red...
Buying chicken pieces may be convenient, but it's really easy to cut up a whole chicken and there are many reasons to make the effort to learn. This easy stock is just one of them. If you don't know how to cut a whole bird into eight pieces Mark Bittman of the New...
I don't know why anyone buys pre-made pasta sauce. My best guess is that they have the mistaken idea that it is complicated to make and has to cook for hours. This may be true of bolognese, a sauce that needs to simmer for three hours and for which there are as many...
