Camping: Dessert Apples

So... I wanted to also find a simple dessert that wasn't too heavy.  My boys will sit and eat apples all day if I let them, so I decided to find an easy apple dessert.  Searching all my pins - and success!!

INGREDIENTS:
Apples: peeled and sliced, not too thin
Few tablespoons of lemon juice
Brown sugar
Marshmallows
((Forgive me for not measuring my ingredients.... by now you should know I don't like to measure unless it's absolutely necessary.  lol))

DIRECTIONS:
* Peel and slice apples ahead of your camping trip.  Lightly coat with few tablespoons of lemon juice to keep them from browning.  (I made my apples the day before camping and we ate them on day 2 of  camping and they still weren't brown.  Yay!)
* Place all your apples in a pot safe to use on the grill, or over an open flame
* Put a good amount of brown sugar on top of the apples.... I'd say I did about a cup over my 5 apples
* Top with a handful of marshmallows.... stir all together.
* Cook over the grill until the apples are tender then devour!!

Man.... my boys were SO happy eating this... warmed up their tummies on such a chilly camping night!

Camping: Ranch Salsa Chicken

Super easy.... that's what's important when you're camping.  It's supposed to be relaxing and calming and a nice time.  So complicated food takes away the 'chill' nature of it.

SO.... foods that appear complicated but aren't are my favorite while camping.  Again, I scoured the internet (mostly pinterest) and found a good chicken recipe.  

INGREDIENTS:

You're favorite salsa (mine was a homemade recipe I made a few days earlier, had tomatoes, green peppers, black beans & corn in it.  I let it sit for a day before eating it, then mix in some coumin, garlic powder, chopped onions & 1/2 pkt ranch seasoning.  YUMMY!!)

Chicken breasts

Water

DIRECTIONS:

* Pour water into a tin dish (or whatever you plan to use while camping & grilling)... about 1 cup will do

* Place chicken in the dish

* Top with your salsa

* Cook over fire until done.  If the water is gone, add a little more to keep chicken cooking & juicy

* When you serve it, scoop the salsa on top of the chicken. 

* Eat & Enjoy!

Camping: Breakfast Burritos

I've read many, many blogs.... posts.... pins about what to make when you go camping.  Lots of them were directions on how to make breakfast burritos.  Yum!  So I've combined what I liked most about each one and made them!  They were delicious!  

Make Ahead:

Brown 1 lb your favorite ground sausage (I added in 1 can of black beans at the end)

Make 1/2 bag of hasbrowns (season as desired)

Bake 18 scrambled eggs, add chives & seasons as desired

** Roll the burritos together and wrap in tin foil before you go **

Sausage

Hashbrowns

Eggs

Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese

Once you're camping and it's time for breakfast, just throw them on the grill.

Ours got a bit black, but it added to the flavor.  

YUMM!!

I used a whole bag of cheese & made 7 burritos... I think, I'd use more cheese in the future, so it 'glues' everything else together a little better.  You cook, you learn.  

=)

ENJOY!
