Creating Family Connections One RV Adventure at a Time
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
Before our last camping trip of the year I experimented with making some of the various fire starter ideas I had seen on Pinterest. I shared one of the ideas with you earlier and promised to update you. So here we go: The Egg Carton Lint Starters: These burned, but not as well or as long as we had expected. It’s possible I didn’t use
A couple of years ago we found a great chilli recipe that works fantastic cooked over the stove top or in a dutch oven over a campfire. Here’s our campfire chilli recipe so you can give it a try: Ingredients: 1 pound of ground beef 1 onion 2 T oil 4 T water 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce 2 tsp cocoa 2 tsp ground cumin 2
Several months ago I had found a Rachael Ray recipe that looked like a great campfire meal: Pigs in Ponchos. I tweaked the original recipe a bit for our kiddos and we gave it a go over our last camping trip. Ingredients for the piggies: 8 hot dogs 1 16 oz can of refried beans 16 flour tortillas (8-inch) 1 cup salsa Yellow mustard 2
Over our recent fall camping trip we did a lot of campfire cooking, and we dished out some fantastic food! Today I’m highlighting our Campfire Kielbasa Skillet with flatbread. This is mouth-watering, classic campfire comfort food folks! And the best part? It’s so simple to prepare! Skillet ingredients for about five servings: 1 package of kielbasa sausage (whatever kind you prefer), sliced 5 medium yellow
We stayed at Croft State Park in Spartanburg, S.C., while visiting family in the Greenville, S.C., area earlier this year. This 7,000 acre park has 45 campsites, so it’s not a very big campground. Since we spent most of our time with family, we didn’t have a lot of time to explore the park, but it offers 12 miles of biking and hiking trails as
The next time we go camping, we want to try out an idea we saw on Pinterest: lint fire starters. The great thing about this idea is that the supplies to make them are probably already around your house–starting in your dryer vent. Supplies: Dryer lint Cardboard egg carton Wax (old candles or crayons would work for this) Wax paper or foil (to protect your
Over one of our recent summer camping trips we had some leftover tortillas as well as cream cheese and homemade rhubarb jelly on hand. After making our tasty pie iron tortillas Jarrett whipped up this creation, which we’ve dubbed “campfire pastries.” We unfortunately didn’t take any pictures of him making this, but I recreated the steps at home except for the part where rather than
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…
