Once you have it categorized, talk to your family and any member in your group that will join the camping as talk about what to bring in every category.
Some camping recipes to enjoy:
Breakfast Burritos:
1 lb. breakfast sausage.
10-14 eggs (depending on how man people you have to feed)
Flour tortillas,
shredded cheddar or jack cheese,
salsa
Brown sausage and drain fat. Beat eggs in a bowl and add to sausage. Cook eggs through. Heat tortillas over the flame and fill to your liking!
We also make french toast, pancakes (Biscuit in the plastic container - just add water and bacon.
Lunch/DinnerTaco Salad:
1 lb. ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
1 small or medium can of Ranch Style Beans
Fritos, Doritos or other
corn chipshredded cheese, lettuce, sour cream, salsa,…
Brown ground beef and drain fat. Add taco seasoning and beans; heat through. Serve over chips and garnish with everything else.
Foil Dinners:(per person)1 boneless skinless chicken breast2 slices yellow or red onionsliced assorted vegetables (We like fresh green beans, mushrooms, zucchini, and potatoes.)
You can put all ingredients in one large foil pouch, or everyone can make their own in small pouches.
Season meat and veggies. Layer everything in the foil pouch, starting and ending with the onions. (The onions keep the other food from sticking to the foil and from getting charred if the coals are too hot. Just tell the kids they don’t have to eat them.) Add a little butter to the pouch and fold up to seal. Place in hot coals for about 20-25 or until the chicken is cooked through.
I was lucky enough to find someone to write a craft activity about recycling. She made a glass or tumbler holder out of white pages. I was amazed how she made it and become my favorite.
