Enjoying an Off Grid Thanksgiving Holiday Meal

I absolutely love to cook, bake and be creative in the kitchen. What I love even more is the fun and challenging adventure of cooking a huge meal off grid. Prior to having our little nugget two years ago, we had a family tradition of cooking our Thanksgiving meal off grid in our wall tent at hunting camp way up in the mountains.

Doing that with a toddler in the single digit temperatures of Montana does not sound like fun to us so we decided to host our off-grid Thanksgiving meal at our new homestead. While a bunch of my prep work was done in our house with electricity, the baking was done outside and off grid. How did we manage this? Dutch ovens and a turkey fryer!

Frying the turkey and a dutch oven triple stack of stuffing on the bottom and two veggie side dishes on top.
