🌲Welcome back to our cabin adventures! In this video, Todd and I share our last full day at our cozy retreat after spending a few serene days here. This time, we’re excited to try something different with our new Lodge 5-quart Dutch oven, cooking over an open fire with freshly split oak logs. We whip up a hearty meal of sirloin beef tips simmered in our homemade French onion soup, seasoned with Montreal steak seasoning and minced garlic. However, the day wasn’t without its challenges – we had to work around a noisy chainsaw and the threat of rain.
🌲As we navigate these hurdles, I reflect on my recent retirement and how it’s transformed our cabin visits. No more Sunday blues or rushing back to a hectic work life. Instead, I savor the peace and freedom to enjoy these moments without pressure. We also discuss our love for the cabin and the joy of finding outdoor activities that we both cherish, from planting trees around our property to simply soaking in nature’s beauty.
🌲Join us as we cook, reminisce, and enjoy the tranquil cabin life. Whether you’re looking for Dutch oven recipe ideas, tips on cooking over a fire, or just some inspiration for a relaxing weekend getaway, we hope you find it here. Thank you for spending your time with us – we truly appreciate your company on these journeys. See you in the next video! ♥
