We went camping for the first time in a long time. I am pretty sure that our last camping trip
was to the local reservoir and included us bringing the ‘pack-n-play’. Our children loved the weekend of sleeping in
a tent, stoking a camp fire, hiking, and fishing. Like with any camping trip that lacks an
expect angler, we planned ahead for our meals in the forest with food brought
from home. It’s a good thing as none us
could get a bite on our fishing line all weekend.
We made food that everyone could have and cooked over a
campfire and on our cook stove. The
first night we made BLTS and grilled potato. The second night we made campfire quesadillas. We packed plenty of fruit, vegetables, and
precooked foods like brown rice. It felt
like we were bringing more food than we needed, but camping just has a way of
making everyone hungry.
Each evening we made s’mores, even for our child allergic to
so many foods. We had classic
ingredients for s’mores for everyone and brought along special ingredients for
our son. For his s’mores, we used Kraft
Jet Puffed jumbo marshmallows, Newman’s Own Wheat Free, Dairy Free Newman O’s,
and Enjoy Life chocolate bars.
Neither my son, nor my dad is big on sweets, but they each
enjoyed second helpings of s’mores. The only we would do different next time is bring more
food!
Get out there!
