    Open fire cooking is a new cooking method for me. My mom has been doing it in her backyard for quite a while now and showed me how to make this recipe. This was really her effort - I was mostly just there for the learning process.

    What I like about open fire cooking is that since you don't have to turn on the oven or stove, you're keeping the heat out of the house during the summer months. It's also a great excuse to get outside. Depending on what you're willing to haul around, some of the recipes would be good for camping too. I personally like it better than grilling because it's basically like traditional kitchen cooking with pots and pans except you do it outside. So a lot of the same dinners and desserts I make on a regular basis can be made over an open fire too. I'm sure people get pretty creative on their grills too but this was more intuitive for me.

    If you don't have a setup for open fire cooking you need a few things. First of all, a place to safely have an outdoor fire. Obviously if you can't find that, you're out of luck. Other than that, you'll need some cast iron cookware (a medium pot for this recipe), heat resistant gloves, cooking utensils, and something to hold the cookware above the fire.

    Below is a photo of my mom's setup. The rack she uses is called a Texsport rotisserie grill and spit. You might want a "lid lifter" too although you may be able to use something else. I couldn't tell you exactly what else you could use because both my creativity and safety track record are lacking.

    I'm thinking I may end up making a dessert recipe another time. It's pretty cool because my mom makes all sorts of desserts using this cooking method too such as cakes and cobblers. It's pretty impressive to watch her bake stuff over an open fire with less than precise temperature control.

    I'm excited to have another vegan recipe on the blog that's not a dessert or side dish. I think my dairy free recipes attracted a lot of vegan readers and I always feel bad that all my entrees contain animal products. So now I have 2 vegan entrees which isn't a lot but it's a start!

    If you're serving this over rice, a good shortcut is to use pre-cooked rice. I had no idea there was such a thing! (Aside from when I precook it then freeze it for later.) You can just run inside and heat the packet in the microwave real quick or you might get the curry hot enough to heat the rice up on it's own. Otherwise, you can cook the rice indoors or take a shot at cooking it over an open fire while the curry is going. If using cauliflower rice, all you need is a cast iron skillet and a little extra fat to saute it in. It only takes a few minutes.

    Another thing I should mention is the curry powder. There's a lot of variation between curry powders so I recommend adding a little at a time and tasting as you go. If you have a spicier curry powder, keep in mind that there are some pretty hot chilies cooking in with the veggies so that will give you some heat too. We used Penzeys Spices' "the now curry" which is pretty mild and doesn't contain salt. If you have one that contains salt, reduce the amount of added salt in the recipe.

    Ingredients

    • 1 ½ C fresh green beans, cut into bite sized pieces
    • 1 small head of cauliflower, chopped
    • 2 carrots, sliced
    • ½ yellow onion, thickly sliced
    • 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
    • 3 small potatoes (any variety), diced
    • 2 whole dried red chilies
    • 1 Tbsp coconut oil
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 C water
    • 2 tsp salt, divided
    • 4 Tbsp curry powder *see notes
    • 2 cans full fat coconut milk
    • 3 C rice or cauliflower rice, cooked
    • red pepper flakes to taste, optional
    • sliced green onion to garnish, optional

    Instructions

    1. Wash and prep veggies ahead of time.
    2. Heat coconut oil in a cast iron pot over an open fire. Add minced garlic and heat until fragrant.
    3. Stir in all vegetables, dried chilies, 1 teaspoon salt, and water. Cover and allow to cook for about an hour or until potatoes are fully cooked, stirring occasionally. The cooking time may vary significantly depending on your outdoor cooking setup.
    4. If any water remains after cooking, drain off. ***Remove the 2 dried chilies. You probably don't want to eat these.***
    5. In a separate bowl, whisk together coconut milk, curry powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir into the veggies and allow to heat for about 5 more minutes.
    6. Serve over rice or cauliflower rice. Garnish with red pepper flakes and green onion, if desired.

    Notes

    * I used Penzeys "The Now Curry" seasoning and depending on the brand you use, you may want to use more or less to taste. Additionally, this brand is salt free so if your curry powder contains salt, you may want to reduce or omit the teaspoon of salt that gets mixed into the coconut milk.

    Cooking times may vary significantly depending on your outdoor cooking setup.

      Such beautiful photos. I'm looking forward to making a dessert recipe with you. I really liked this recipe and it reheated well. I think it would also be good with grilled tofu or paneer cheese.

    About Meagan

    I started out with a passion for creating unique recipes and decorating cakes. In June of 2012, I discovered I was not only severely gluten intolerant but also, many of the foods I was eating I simply couldn't include in my diet anymore. Fortunately, my love for trying new recipes, ingredients, and cooking methods made re-learning how to cook seem more like a fun challenge than an unfortunate circumstance. I'm so happy to say that my dietary restrictions haven't stopped me from doing what I love. I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do.

    I was going to write some jokes about logging but I was going to write some jokes about logging but you wooden get them. Because they’re super dumb. Ok, I’ll share anyway.
.
How do lumberjacks find a missing exponent?
By using LOGarithms
.
What did the lumberjack wear to work on casual Friday?
His favorite Tree-shirt
.
When is the most stressful time of year for a tree?
Sept-timber
.
I told you they were bad, right? 😅 Cut me some slack, they were for a kids birthday party. Oh, and I have more…
.
Why did the logger get a gym membership?
He wanted to get lumber jacked 💪
.
Why couldn’t the tree answer the riddle?
He was stumped
.
What kind of beer do lumberjacks drink?
Loggers 🍻
.
Why did the logger have back pain?
He didn’t have enough lumber support
.
Embarrassingly enough, I have a bunch more but I’ll save them for a project in a later blog post. For now, I just have the cake.
.
This is a 2 part, absolutely massive blog post on making this logging scene cake from start to finish. The cake is chocolate and vanilla layers with cookies & cream filling. And as always, gluten free and dairy free.

    Big news: I cleaned my house the other day 😅 Bu Big news: I cleaned my house the other day 😅 But seriously, it’s amazing how much having a clean space can help. My energy levels are completely uncalled for considering we’re well beyond a month of Erika barely sleeping at night and at least one family member dealing with a cold. I’m so tired of snot 😩 And being responsible for 3 peoples noses. We’re trying to graduate one nose to self-care but apparently the art of nose blowing takes a lot more boxes of tissues to master. We’ll get there.
.
Ok enough gross stuff. My finally clean again space has made me so much more focused and motivated to get things done. I’ve burned through most of my work to-do list and made it to the fun stuff that I don’t have to do but just want to. And since I was at that point, I decided to do something for myself by working on my blog. And I went a little overboard by working on 5 blog posts at once. I probably won’t get through them all but I have 3 ready so far.
.
This first post is a 30 minute ground beef stroganoff that I made almost 3 years ago. I didn’t do a great job writing down the recipe so I wasn’t able to post it until I figured out what I forgot to write down. Figured it out the other day and it was so good!

    I almost didn’t make this into a casserole becau I almost didn’t make this into a casserole because the sauce and pasta combined made a delicious side dish on their own! @beldolcefood #sponsored my most recent blog post and provided me with their new gluten free fusilli and penne to try out. I used the fusilli in this recipe and the sauce is a creamy, cheesy enchilada sauce made from just 3 ingredients.
.
I ended up adding taco meat, fire roasted tomatoes, corn, black beans, and dairy free cheese to make a taco noodle casserole. Then we ate it all and I made it again! This is one of those recipes that will be going in our regular meal rotation.
.
This is a pretty versatile recipe. It can be made vegan just by leaving out the meat and it’s just as good. And as I said earlier, the pasta with just the sauce makes a really good side dish. You can also top it with whatever you like such as cilantro, jalapeños, sour cream, scallions, or salsa.

    I’ll just say it - I’m one of those bloggers t I’ll just say it - I’m one of those bloggers that makes cakes for their blogs “birthdays”. Or uses the blog birthdays as an excuse to make yet another cake recipe....yeah, that’s probably more accurate.
.
Definitely felt like I needed a good excuse for this one because it’s my fifth variation of gooey butter cake! However, my site is seven years old so maybe I should have had seven gooey butter cakes ready to go? Guess I’d better get caught up before year eight 😉
.
Anyways, I really enjoyed this carrot cake variation of gooey butter cake. The cake layer/crust swaps out the yellow cake mix with spice cake mix and I added in some shredded carrots and raisins. I kept the “gooey” top layer the same except that I topped it with a sprinkle of cinnamon and additional raisins before baking.
