I still love using my Dutch Ovens! I've got a 12" Cast Iron and a 12" Cast Aluminum for outdoor use and a 10" cast iron for stove top use. It'll be 100 deg outside and I'll be cooking a pot roast in one and baking biscuits in the other all done with charcoal.

I was on vacation and was baking a cake in the cast iron and the lady camped next to me couldn't believe that I was baking a cake in a 'pot'!

I am a huge fan of Dutch oven Cobbler(peach or apple) and German Chocolate Cake!

I have a few good dessert recipes that I will make every so often. I normally don't eat much dessert unless I am not at home. If I need to bring one, my favorite is caramel chocolate brownies that uses a german chocolate cake mix as the base with a gooey layer of chocolate chips and caramel sauce in the middle. I've also been working on getting my pie crusts nice and flaky.

I do bake a lot of bread. A lot of times I'll modify the recipes along the way. Caramelized onions, bacon, and cheddar are very tasty in fresh made bread.

Since we're on the subject....

This is one of my favorite desserts to prepare with my students. Chocolate mousse cake covered with chocolate ganache and served with raspberry coulis and white chocolate cream. A real show stopper!

Sir --
You're killing me!!!

I bake pies throughout the year. I make the pie crusts from scratch. I make fruit pies in the summer, vegetable (e.g., pumpkin, sweet potato, etc.) pies in the fall and winter, and miscellaneous (e.g., custard-type, dairy-based, etc.) pies in the spring.

I also make tiramisu 2 or 3 times a year, mostly for my wife's birthday (at her request ) and during Christmas time.

I make brownies. The kind that come in boxes. I typically eat 1/2 to 1/3 of the tray in a sitting....

Anything added to the brownie's? Perhaps something of an herbal nature?
