Creamy potato bake–just add a nut cheese to the classic potato bake before baking. Dutch oven spaghetti–add your noodles, sauce, mushrooms, onions, garlic, italian seasonings, salt, and enough water to cover. Water will be absorbed into noodles while cooking. Lentil stew.

Be sure to season well, make it liquidy, and add a lot of mushrooms! yum!

Dutch oven dessert!? lightly butter your dutch oven. Place fresh or frozen fruit of your choice in the dutch oven. We like blueberries, apples, blackberries, or peaches. You may mix them up or just use one kind. Canned pie filling also works well, but we tend to not like all that sweetness. Lightly sweeten your fruit with sugar, stevia powder or honey. Squeeze a lemon into this, and mix in a couple tablespoons of corn starch, if desired.
