Living up in the mountains, not always having the gas, time, or best weather conditions to get to town for groceries. We run out of things quickly and I have to use what I have. Though I now have a stove and oven, many of my recipes here were from when I didnt. I've had to get quite creative, and find other ways to cook. Like in a toaster oven and an electric skillet. I thought if anyone else has my same issues it'd be great to share my simple minimalist recipes. And find some great ones too.

I am at the point that you were right now. I don't mind it though because my toaster oven can hold most of my baking dishes and pans. I will, however say thanks for the recipes. This one sounds like a keeper. Do you still make it now that you have a stove?
