Creating Family Connections One RV Adventure at a Time
Today I’m sharing another one of my favorite, easy camping recipes: Camping Stovetop Goulash. It’s hearty comfort food that you can pull together in as little as 30 minutes, so after a fun day of exploring you can get dinner on the picnic table in a jiffy. You can prepare this versatile recipe on an RV stove or camping stove, or you can cook it in a dutch oven over a
Last week I shared with you my secret tips for no-fail RV menu planning. When plotting our travel menu, I like to select easy camping recipes that can be prepared in a variety of ways–some nights we’ll have a campfire meal, other nights I dish out of a slow cooker, and some nights I whip up a one-pot wonder in the camper kitchen. My goal is always to keep things
On our October camping trip to Assateague State Park, the days had grown crisper and the fall air was brisk along the shore. It was the perfect opportunity to gather around a campfire while this smoky BBQ chicken and potatoes simmered in a dutch oven. The smell was tantalizing, and our little group of campers said it earned the “finger-lickin’ good” seal of approval. The inspiration for our version of
One of our family’s favorite parts about camping is the fun we have cooking around the campfire. And after the main meal is cleared away, it’s time (as Jarrett’s great-grandmother would say) to get the grease out of your neck … i.e., have some dessert! S’mores are generally our family’s first choice, but with the recent development of a gluten-sensitivity for one of our camping kiddos,
This past year I have been on the hunt for more gluten-free recipes to add to our camping meal repertoire. Fortunately there are a lot of great recipe ideas out there, but not all of them are a great fit for camping. I like my camping meals to be kid-friendly, simple (this is supposed to be a vacation after all), and ones that use easily obtainable ingredients
If you have not gathered by now, we love trying new desserts in the dutch oven! So I wanted a bit of a challenge and decided to make a cheesecake. I went to my trusty Scout’s Outdoor Cookbook and found a cheesecake recipe that I modified a little bit. And it turned out really good! The next time around I modified the recipe a little more to
Kristin and I had the chance to have a meal by ourselves on our last campout since the kiddos spent the day with their grandparents. So in preparation for an “adult” meal I went looking for some good side dishes to go with the steaks and potatoes I planned to cook. These bacon wrapped carrots with a maple-syrup glaze looked amazing so I thought I would
You know by now that I am always looking to expand my dutch oven cooking repertoire–and our recent trip to Charles Mill (review coming soon!) was the perfect opportunity to experiment with a new dessert option. We have been doing more gluten-free cooking here at home, so I found a recipe for dutch oven seven-layer brownies that I tweaked to be gluten free. Ingredients: 1 gluten-free brownie mix
As many of you know by now, when we are on our camping adventures we are often out exploring the region–whether hiking, biking, driving, or touring. So I rely heavily on my crock pot to take care of dinner preparations while we are out and about having fun. While we are away visiting the Outer Banks of North Carolina, I will be using the crock
For many families making their rounds of the Utah 5 National Parks, a visit to Bryce Canyon is a highly anticipated stop. With its sweeping vistas and spectacular hikes, Bryce offers something for everyone. But with most of the camping options concentrated immediately around Bryce, families that want to escape the crowds and explore Bryce…
For many families planning a trip to the Utah region, their itineraries often center on hitting the high points of iconic stops like Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, and Arches. Several lesser-known parks are also worth the stop, though, and for families looking for ways to escape the crowds, Cedar Breaks National Monument should be on…
