Beef braised in Merlot and herbs
Kurt Winner

I wasn’t exactly on the horse trail - this article is pure travel fun. Sit back in

Pasta with Minced Beef
Kurt Winner

The coming of fall means hearty food in my neck of the woods. (We are squeezing the last trail rides of Fall into our schedules but this one is best cooked at home.) This means warm and hearty stews and such. I have a recipe from Switzerland that I think you’ll really like....

KALUA PORK AND CABBAGE: Camp Imu or Pressure cooker?
Kurt Winner

This is by far one of my favorite recipes. I first tried it in Hawaii years ago and it is one of my favorite comfort foods. Traditionally the pork, actually a whole cleaned and dressed pig, is placed in an imu overnight. So you say, “What is an imu?” An imu is an underground...

Beef Barley and Vegetable Stew

The Holidays are here and with all of the shopping and entertaining to do, sometimes we forget to take care of ourselves (and get outside and go for a trail ride!). This hearty, one-dish meal fits the bill perfectly. One of my favorite cold weather recipes, it's easy and...
