Effortless Bacon
Bacon without all the work — sign me up for a BLT

Hate to burst any bubbles – Alaska is not just like the post cards; there are not beautiful glaciers every where you look. We don’t live in igloos. People are not always pulled around by dog sled.

In order to acclimate to your journey off the road system and fully enjoy the majestic way of life you will adjust to a few things. One of these fun things especially for those city folks not used to “roughing” it …….. if it’s yellow let it mellow !
Make Ahead Smoothies
Happy Dance Bananas are on sale this week !!! In rural AK that means I got them for under $3 a lb and only half of them were crazy bruised from the trip North to Alaska …. The perfect staple to start some freezer smoothly packs.
