Recipes and food tips for camping

Eggs

Crack your eggs into a plastic bottle (add vegies and cheese for an omelet) – easy transport

Bacon

Buy pre-cooked bacon – it is the way to go !!!! Way less time for cleanup, no grease!

Milk

Tetra packs

Breads

Tortilla, flat breads, bagels, pita – they don’t get squished. Prepare your own flat bread (bannock) mix and cook at cabin in fry pan, wrap around a stick or wrap in tinfoil and cook over the fire.

“Wrap”

Anything wrapped up in a tortilla or pita is delicious, better yet wrap them in tin foil and heat over the grill or fire – really yummy- breakfast, lunch or dinner!

Meats

Burgers -mix ingredients & prep patties in advance. Chop, dice, marinate meats in a ziplock & freeze. Pre-boil sausages – ready to heat on fire pit or grill in a snap, no worries wondering if it is cooked or charred trying to cook it.

Pancakes

Buy pre-mixed or prepare it yourself (add liquids at cabin).

Juice

Bring frozen concentrate, add water.

Lunch

Hard cheeses, dry meats – travel well and less fragile at room temperature.

Fruits & vegetables

Choose hearty fruits and veggies that hold up to travel and won’t spoil quickly: oranges, apples, melons, carrots, celery, root vegetables, onions etc.

Potatoes

Per-bake at home, add all sorts of stuffing’s & seasoning, wrap in foil and heat over camp fire.

Snacks

Nuts, granola, trail mix, bars, energy balls, vegies & dip.

S’mores

Rollo’s stuffed into cooked marshmallows over the fire or buy already covered chocolate cookies and sandwich a cooked marshmallow in between. Adult version: place cheese curds on a stick, warm over the fire, place on a cracker or baguette!

Spices

Bring a camp kit of your favorite spices (onion, garlic powder, basil, oregano, Montreal steak spice). Cabins have S&P.

Wine

Wine in a box or tetra packs, no bottles to bring back.
