If we were back in pioneer times, I would be making dinner in a kettle hanging from trammels over a fire. My cabin would have been one room and all the furniture handmade. Our meal would most likely be blackberries, fish, deer and other wild game. Fast forward to today, and I need to purchase a gas stove this week from Lowes. Somehow the stove seems to take away from my vision of having a cozy cabin in the woods that reconnects me to nature and simpler times. So on my list of projects to get close to recreating that feeling is canning my own fresh picked berries this summer and picking up some 
pioneer - log cabin type cookbooks. Here's one cookbook I found called Log Cabin Lewis & Clark Cookbook. Here's the link: http://www.campchef.com/catalog/item/8/65/0/BK-CSLC/23/Log+Cabin+Lewis+&+Clark+Cookbook.html

ReplyDeleteYou are surely right about the pioneer days. I worked at an historical settlement restoration... The lady of the house cooked our meals over the fireplace and nothing has ever tasted so good to this very day. i was the village weaver /spinner.. what a treat it was to be a part of that!
ReplyDeleteYou home is beautiful!
What a cute kitchen! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThe food that always gets me in the pioneer mood is cornbread cooked in a cast iron skillet, just like Ma Ingalls did it. Add some navy beans...mmmm-mmm. Down home cooking. ;)
Gwen - thank you for coming by - and what a neat job you had!!
ReplyDeleteGreenhouse - i love cornbread too!
My hubby is a Lewis and Clark fan. I will have to get that cook book for HIM!
