People who like camping

[brittmk0922]

My favourite is actually a dessert that we make. We take Dad's brand oatmeal cookies (I don't know why, but it just has to be Dads lol) and put raspberry jam between 2. Then wrap this 'sandwich ' in tinfoil and sit it down in the edge of the fire to get warm. Its something I've been doing since I was a kid... lol

Do you have pie iron? We use ours a lot when camping.

Okay, I don't love camping, but I'm pretty good with cooking while camping. Eggs, bacon, pancakes are always easy. For dinner I used make my own pasta ( whatever noodles, sauce, etc) and seal it in a recycled milk bag ( use an iron and a towel- it sounds weird but it's not hard). And boil it in a pot of water. Walla. Yummy pasta dish without bugs mixed in.

I'm thinking now that you weird Americans don't have milk bags so it's like I'm talking nonsense.

Omelets. Boil water in a pot over the fire. Put eggs & fixings in a large ziploc, smoosh around. get as much air out of the bag as possible (we use a drinking straw), close it up, and let it boil inside the bag until the eggs are done.

Pita pizzas on a small weber: Grill one side of the pita, take it off, flip it over and put the toppings on the grilled side, then put it back on the grill with the lid on to cook the bottom and melt the cheese.

[birkbop]

basically any dish that's skillet-centered works I've found.

I like making skillet cornbread and in a separate skillet heat up beef stew and then pour it on top of the cornbread.

we go pretty easy on dinners. veggie kebabs, baked potatoes, cans of baked beans, steaks. Foil packets with fish/herbs/lemon wedges, diced veggies/mrs dash.

for dessert: whole bananas slit down the side and stuffed with peanut butter, marshmallows, chocolate chips. Wrapped in foil, tossed in the fire till gooey.

you can also take waffle cones, stuff with marshmallows/chocolate chips/strawberries, wrap in foil and toss in the fire.

OR cut a hat off the top of an orange, hollow out the larger part, fill 3/4 way full with instant vanilla cake batter, put the hat back on, wrap in foil, and toss in fire until cake is ready.

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO LIKE CAMPING??



::faints::

[Jalapeñomel]

Dutch oven peach cobbler

Portabella mushrooms stuffed with brie (fancy smancy)

Chicken foil dinners

[Groomz McFinehiney]

Why would anyone want to iron a pie? Did you know that camping has been known to cure AIDS? Science is fascinating.

[Deleted]

and also, everything tastes better outside. i dont know why, but it does.

like, grilled sausages, veggie kebabs and slices of cheddar cheese can be the BEST FREAKING MEAL EVER when you eat it outside.
and dont get me started on the tastiness of bacon and coffee outside.

[scotty]

I like putting corn, ground beef or cut up hot dogs and potatoes, and onions in aluminum foil, closing it up, and sticking a stick into it, and cooking it over the fire.

Or, taking an iron skillet, putting butter in the skillet, poking a hole in bread, and cracking an egg into it. Salt and pepper.

[mrsjuleshs]

burgers, steaks, baked potatoes and veggies in foil.

[iamgrace]

Yes, I think a ziplock would work very well in place of a milk bag. Lol. I'm now wondering why the hell I went to all the trouble of recycling milk bags.

Oh yes, I was 18 and my mother had a thing against ziplocks.

[MWOS]

The only time I ever went camping, the Forest Police confiscated 75 beers from us while we were all on our first ones. I was high as shit and it was 4th of July weekend so I proceeded to yell about my freedom being infringed upon and then we went to sleep and our tent was on a Daddy Long Legs nest.

[oliveyou]

I like drinking and eating around a campfire. But then I prefer to go to a hotel to sleep. I'm high maintanence like that.

Mmhmmm. This is why we have the cottage.

[Le Olive]

I'm usually so tired from it all that I sleep like a baby on that air mattress. As it slowly leaks air all night. lol.

That first coffee in the quiet woods by the fire in the morning is pretty great.

[peachdragon]

popcorn
steaks
grilled chicken
baked potato
baked beans

If you don't have cast iron cookware, you must get some. At least a dutch oven with the campfire legs on it.

Why would they take your beers?? We're you underage? My friends and I got kicked out of the house we were renting last fourth of July and did similar ranting.

One of us was underage, but you couldn't have alcohol at this state park. We were pissed because we canoed at a different state park earlier where you COULD have alcohol. Same state. We also had all our pot and paraphernalia on us. I woke up at 4:30 am, saw the spiders, flipped my shit, grabbed my roommate and left. We were eating McMuffins and back on the road by 5:15am

My mom always saved the milk bags and put our sandwiches in them. I think it had to do with the Depression, lol.

Are you in ON? We are renting a cottage in the Kawarthas rather than camp with two little ones, I'm pretty excited.

Some campsites have a no alcohol policy. I always ignore it. What's the point of camping if you can't get drunk around a campfire??

Yes, yes, central Ontario. Cottage country! Lol.

I'm listening to Pandora and "Beer" by Reel Big Fish came on just now. It's like it KNOWS.

[lazyphoque]

Foil packets with cubed ham, sweet potatoes and apples is one of my favorites. And chicken fajitas. And pancakes with berries picked while hiking (but only of you ate positively certain).

Coffee while camping is heavenly.

[CaliSpiderman]

Camping donuts are a must. They're 75% of the reason we go camping.

You need a metal coffee can, and these are becoming hard to come by. Put a few inches of Crisco in it (we use the butter flavor because....butter). Heat that until it turns to liquid. Then take a roll of biscuit dough and cut them in half. Drop them into the liquid Crisco, turn after maybe a minute until both sides are golden. Then take them out using a slotted spoon and put it in a paper bag with a cinnamon/sugar mix. Give it a shake to coat. And then die happy little deaths with each bite. Trust.

[scotty]

Lucy, the Canadians don't understand the deliciousness of drinking from a carton to get that sour-y taste from the cardboard lip drinky part. MISSING OUT.

I like grilling sausages (Hot Italian is my favorite) and sauteing bell peppers and red onion and eating with or without a bun. A splash of balsamic vinegar makes them even better, but depends on how much shit you want to lug with you.

I also like cooking up some orzo, adding a shit ton of bacon and mozzerella cheese along with some olive oil and basil. Very simple, but tastes great camping. Especially with the addition of a fine box of red wine.

[shellybelly]

home made hamburgers
chicken asada tacos
pulled pork from costco that you just re-heat
bbq chicken

big breakfast is our favorite.
