Our Winter Inventory is Superb
Saturday, December 25th, 2010Aunt Trina’s Ham Pie
Tuesday, December 21st, 2010Here is our favorite Ham recipe for this winter.
Serves: 6
Cook Time: 1 Hour
Ingredients
- For Pastry Crust:
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons vegetable shortening, chilled
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon dry yeast
- 1/2 cup milk
- (Can also substitute a store-bought double pie crust)
- Filling:
- 1 cup Smithfield Ham,chopped
- 5 eggs
- 1/3 cup Swiss cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chives, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- For Egg Wash:
- Whisk together 1 egg and 1 teaspoon milk
Steps
If you opt for frozen store-bought crusts, set them out to thaw according to the package instructions. To make your own crust, start by dissolving the yeast in warm milk and sugar. Set aside for a few minutes until the mixture begins forming bubbles. Add the egg and set aside. Cut the vegetable shortening into the flour using your fingers or a pastry cutter. Add the liquid mixture to flour and blend. Divide the dough into two pieces to fit your pie dish.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
To make the filling, begin by beating the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add in the cheeses, ham, parsley, chives and pepper. Stir until combined.
Line the bottom of a pie plate with one crust, leaving about an inch overhang. Fill the pie crust with the ham and egg mixture. Cover with the remaining crust. Decoratively crimp the edges and cut slits in the top for steam to escape. Brush with egg wash and place in the oven for approximately 1 hour or until a knife comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Serve slightly warm.
Make your next trip to Big Bear the best ever! Dont forget our many promotions on Facebook.

Baked Goodies
This year, my 4 and 5 year old daughters are going to do lots of baking. Most everyone loves homemade goodies! And most of the ingredients aren’t that expensive.
By Heather in Illinois
Share Your Love and Blessings
Re-frame your expectations. Compared to many others, if you have a roof over your head, your personal belongs and memories intact, you are indeed blessed. Set yourself the task of sharing your love and blessings by blessing others, and you will be more blessed than by buying expensive gifts. If you need to realize how much your homemade gifts are worth in dollars and cents, put a dollar amount on the value of your time, factor in your time and the cost of materials and I bet you find you are “spending” quite a lot on gifts!
Snowman Soup Mix
Last year I found very large coffee mugs at the dollar store and made homemade cocoa mix, filled a small ziploc, placed a smaller ziploc filled with mini marshmallows, wrapped it all in cello wrap with a candy cane in the bow and called it snowman soup.
No matter what your plans for christmas, your Cabin Rental in Big Bear is always the most fun item on your list! Call us today and save.

Tips for Planning a Trip to Big Bear Lake, CA
Thursday, October 28th, 2010First and Foremost…Plan ahead to nab choice cabins and dates. (Try to book holidays a year in advance.) Last-minute trips are doable too, but be prepared to make a few trade-offs at that point.
How to score deals: Big Bear has no off-season really, but some months are slower than others. So call us and ask when we expect some cabins to be lower in price. Don’t forget all rates usually go up during holidays and prime locations will always be higher. So if you are next to the ski slopes in December , you will no doubt pay more than if you are next to the airport. You can also save by staying longer in slower months or by taking weekday trips. At any rate, don’t be shy, ask us how we can help get you more for your buck. We also have promotions and packages that can help you make your trip more fun.
Ways to save: Get more and pay less by sharing a cabin with family or friends. Three couples can afford a swankier property by pooling their cash. Use pullout couches to comfortably accommodate more. Don’t forget kids can sleep on bunk beds and roll-away cots. For big groups: Planning a family reunion, wedding, or big-group trip? Ask about our larger properties and get cozy with your friends by sharing a larger space.
What to pack: Coffee filters, bug spray, sun block, candles and bathing suits (for huttub) are some extras to consider. Be sure to figure out if you will need firewood or charcoal for grilling. Think about your menu and consider bringing special items like cake pans or cookie sheets. You don’t want to be scrambling later or having to shell out money for those things you left behind.
When you go: Arrive before sun-down. Steep mountain roads with hairpin turns get downright scary in the dark. Shop for groceries at home, because the local markets can become packed. Dont forget to check if you need snow chains on your tires, it is often mandatory during heavy snowfall.
Let us know what you expect from your trip and how we can make it hassle-free. Our Big Bear Cabins are the very best.
