Recipe and Wine of the Month
What's better than good food at the campground? For many of us, the answer may be "not much." But for people with diabetes, your blood sugar levels may stand between you and good camping recipes.
Campfire Eggs
1 dozen eggs
1 pound bacon
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
small can chopped mushrooms
shredded cheddar cheese
Cooking Instructions
Cut bacon into thirds and put into large cast-iron skillet on camp fire (or stove), stirring to separate pieces. Cook until about 1/2 done, then add chopped veggies, and stir until bacon is crisp and veggies are tender. Meanwhile beat eggs in large bowl, adding a little milk if available, and stir into bacon mixture in skillet. Cook stirring constantly until eggs are set. Remove from fire and sprinkle with cheese.
BEST BOX WINE OF THE MONTH: October 2011
Boxed wine. It sounds like the punch line to a dinner party joke. But serve one of these boxed wines, along with an out-of-the-box conversation about what makes them green, and the jokes will subside. Once the ugly stepchild of sophisticated vino, these wines have come into their own -- and not just for their convenience and quirkiness; they taste great, and they're eco-friendly. You can transport more boxed wine with less fuel because cardboard boxes are lighter than glass bottles, and because you can stack more square boxes with less wasted space in the same truck. Boxed wine packaging amounts to just 4% of its total weight, compared to 70% for traditional bottles. That all adds up to a smaller carbon footprint. The boxes are often recyclable, and many of these wines keep fresh longer than traditional bottled wine -- meaning less great wine down the drain.
Bota Box Old Vine Zinfandel is dark and jammy with aromas of blueberry, blackberry and dark cherry. These same fruit flavors carry through to the palate where they mingle with hints of dark chocolate and toasty vanilla.
Full bodied with rich tannins, Bota Box Zinfandel is best enjoyed with hearty pasta dishes, pizza and barbecue. A good,hearty campsite meal, beautiful sunset, and a glass of Bota Box Old Vine Zinfandel leads to an enchanting evening...know what I mean? Enjoy
