The Barefoot Kitchen Witch

Trout in the Fireplace

Bill and Alex went fishing the other day and brought home two trout for lunch.  Nice sized trout – about a pound each. 

And, in keeping with our hearth cooking intentions, Bill cooked them in the fireplace.

Hearthside Bananas

Do you remember making these when you were a kid?  I know I first had a version of these warm chocolate and banana treats at some sort of camp when I was young, but I don't remember anything else from that time.  I figure I retained what was most important.

I taught Alex and Julia to make these the same day we cooked ribs and beans in the fireplace.

Hearth Cooking Day – Beans and Ribs

Doesn’t it look gorgeous? 

Looks like there’s got to be something special inside.

And after six hours, there had better be.

I soaked the beans overnight.  This time I used a mixture of pinto, black, and navy. 

But first things first – we need fire.
