Campers Tinfoil Green Beans
Green beans have often been a cornerstone of my cooking. I love them fresh and crisp with a little bit of citrus. But only now am I transitioning my frying pan recipe to tinfoil packets.

Tinfoil Scalloped Potatoes
BTSP (Before Tinfoil Scalloped Potatoes) I was of the mind set that scalloped potatoes are too fancy for camping. Camping calls for hearty meals, plaid lumberjack shirts, harmonicas, and neckerchiefs. Ideally, conversations should revolve around close encounters with bears or fish and be punctuated by spitting into the fire. Scalloped potatoes would be too "frilly" for such an ambiance.
Campfire Bacon Bourbon BBQ Chicken Kebabs
After traveling through Kentucky, I got on a bit of a bourbon kick. So, along with a few other bourbon-y experiments, I thought it only appropriate to try out a recipe meant for a kitchen with power plugs and food processors. My results were the Campfire Bacon Bourbon BBQ Chicken Kebabs.
Big Boys & Girls Boozy Campground Orange Sticky Rolls
Look, when I was 7, I loved sugar like all the other kids out there. But after graduating from puberty and passing through the nihilistic black hole of my teens, I started to look for a bit more nuance in my life. There was more to life than just stuffing as much butter and sugar as possible into every pastry. So, even when I take a short cut and use pre-made dough and oven ready rolls, I need to bring something original to the fire.
Campfire Bacon And Eggs Hash
Campfire Bacon And Eggs Hash is the perfect recipe. It combines all the necessities for a hearty breakfast: bacon, eggs, and cheese. Plus, it adds some nice extras like onions and hash browns to form a padding between the eggs and the hot pan bottom.
Blackberry Bourbon Smash
It's fall in the South, but the weather hasn't quite gotten the memo. I had been looking forward to our latest camping trip for a while, but found that the heat really deprived me of much motivation to do much more than sit out in my camp chair and observe: "Warm today. Warm yesterday. Warm tomorrow, too."
Chicken and Prosciutto
Some people think that bacon makes everything better. I maintain that prosciutto makes everything better. Tonight, I wrapped chicken thighs in prosciutto to cook in the cask iron skillet. Having learned from my time consuming first experience of cooking chicken over a campfire, I bought boneless chicken. It was skinless—the prosciutto would make a more flavorful replacement. While I did add some salt and pepper, truly, the prosciutto was what defined the meal.
Salmon, Green Beans, and Quinoa
Well that's just great. There is no grate. Since we couldn't find a camping spot in Glacier National Park, we had to settle on a private camping ground outside of the park. We settled on one what advertised having WiFi but whose router was on the fritz. But, hey, it was somewhere the sleep.
Salmon, Artichoke, & Quinoa
We are trying something new. We wanted to get a lot of work done so we are spending a week at an extended stay hotel.
Shrimp Kabobs And Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
I had a rare moment of brilliance while provisioning: buy frozen protein for day two so that it will store better. In keeping with my ocean theme, I bought large frozen prawns for skewers, along with zucchini, mushrooms, and red onions.
