Camping Menu

6/8/2011

I'm working out the menu for our first full camping weekend, and thought I'd share it with you...

This is a 2 1/2 day menu, Friday dinner - Sunday dinner.

Friday Night:
Macaroni Salad
Hot Dogs on the grill

Saturday:
Breakfast - Cereal & Milk with fruit
Lunch - Tacos/Burritos , Salad, Corn Bread
Dinner - Meat Pies, Foiled Potatoes

Sunday:
Breakfast - Cereal & Milk with fruit
Lunch - Scrambled Egg Pies
Dinner - Grilled Pizza

I'm looking forward to making the pies. I plan on buying pie crust (Gasp! I know, I know, but I can't do everything!) and folding them over to make pockets. I'll make meat pies with ground beef and veggies, a bit like a regular meat pie with less gravy; and the egg pies will be eggs, cheese, onions, peppers and bacon all cooked together tucked into a pie crust. These will be cooked over the grill. Can't wait!

The pizza is super simple - I'll mix up some 15 minute Pizza Dough (thanks to my Mom's favorite cooking resource, Fanny Farmer, and cook it on the grill each side. Add the sauce, meat and cheese, heat through and voila - pizza. Yum!

I'll be sure to take pictures so you can see how they did (or did not) come out!

Dear Ros,
Here's a quick and fun idea to make tacos for the kids, they love it. Use small individual packets of nachos, they are made with foil like plastic and can hold the ingredients. Cook up your hamburger with the spices, add separate little dishes of the peppers, onions, cheese and all the tacos ingredients. Each child and /or adult can make their own Walking Tacos to their liking, no mess, just give them a disposable fork, and off they go. Great for family or even a group, like Mom's.
Love you my friend
