Camping Meals

Just got back from Apostle Islands - AMAZING!!  If you like to CAMP and KAYAK - this is a must :)  As I was there - someone pointed out I should add the food we had to my cooking blog - and since we camp a lot, I thought "heck yes"....so here are some ideas for next time you hit up the outdoors!!

GARLIC BREAD
Ingredients:
French Bread
Garlic
Butter
Tin Foil

Cut slices (but not all the way through) into the french bread - stuff with minced garlic and butter.  Then wrap up in tin foil - and place on a nice fire (like the one Becca made)!  Cook for about 10 minutes or until lightly toasted - and yummy!!

PESTO PASTA
Ingredients:
Spiral noodles
Pesto
Tomatoes
Zucchini

Make up the noodles - cut the tomatoes and zucchini - and mix in the pesto.  For real - BEST camp meal EVER!!!

BURRITOS!!!

Ingredients:
Salsa
Black olives
Lettuce
Cheese
Tomatoes
Tortillas
Home-made quac

So quick and easy - and yet, OH SO GOOD!!  Thanks WI for such yummy food on our trip!!


 

GRILLED CHEESE

Ingredients:
2 slices bread
Cheese slices
Cooking spray
Sandwich maker

 
Spray both sides of the sandwich maker with cooking spray - put your bread in, slice of cheese (or 2...who are we kidding) - then close and stick in the coals.  Probably my favorite thing in the world!!!

 
PIES
Ingredients:
Sandwich maker (above)
2 slices Bread
Cooking spray
Pie filling

Spray both sides of the sandwich maker with cooking spray - put your bread in, fill with pie filling - then close and stick in the coals.  Little dessert heaven-ness!!

TACO IN A BAG
 I have to admit - this might be my FAVORITE all time camping meal.  We didn't have this at Apostle Islands, but this is a staple when the Sodahls go camping!!


Ingredients:
Hamburger
Taco seasoning
Cheese
Tomato
Lettuce
Black olives
Sour cream
Bag of your favorite Doritos (go for the $.99 grab bag)

Cook up the hamburger with the taco seasoning....then crunch up your bag of Doritos (probably the only time it's ever ok to do this...) - then throw everything in - mix up - and EAT!!  You'll want to camp every day!!

OMELETS IN A BAG

Felt like since I was on the "bag" theme - I would add an awesome bfast option.  We had this about every am when we were in Yellowstone - can't go wrong with a filling breakfast!!

Ingredients:
freezer bag
2 eggs
ham
cheddar cheese
onion / green pepper
mushrooms

All you do is fill the bag with your "omelet wants" - then press most of the air out of it - and seal.  Throw this in boiling water for about 13 minutes - or until your eggs aren't running, and roll out and serve!!  If you aren't like "backpack camping" - you could throw on some salsa too!!

PIZZA

Ingredients:
Pita sandwiches
Pizza sauce
Pepperoni
Shredded mozzarella cheese
Canned mushrooms
Onions, chopped
Tin Foil

Throw all your toppings in the pita - wrap up in tinfoil and throw in the coals of your fire.  Then eat away :)

STEAK AND POTATOES

Ingredients:
Steak
Potatoes
Tin foil
"Secret" seasoning
Shredded cheese
Sour cream / butter

If you don't know how to make this - then you shouldn't be camping anyways :)
