It really depends on what type of camping you are doing, If it's tent camping, your choices are limited to what you can fit in the cooler. We have a 5th wheel trailer, so I've got all the conviences here. But foods for camping are so much fun.Quote:

For bread, a favorite for camping with my crew is take the loaf of bread, cut it in slices, but not all the way through, leave the bottom inch attached to keep the loaf together. Spread the slices and butter one side, then add grated cheese/roasted garlic and green onions. push the slices back together and wrap the loaf a few times in heaby tinfoil. It can be a meal in itself, or I like to make chili ahead of time and heat it on the grate on the fire and serve them together.
Wrap large potatoes in a few layers of foil and bring them along, once the fire has a nice bed of coals, throw in the potatoes, make sure you turn them every 10 minutes or so, when they are soft inside the are ready (and they taste so sweet and wonderful this way) you can pile the potatoe with cheese, butter, sourcream and whatever else you like.
You can buy these square pie makers (thats what I call them) at canadian tire for about $5 each. They are on a long handle like a hotdog roasting stick. You push a slice of bread on 1 side, them you can pile cheese, slices of peperoni, veggies, a bit of sauce into it, then put another piece of bread on top. Close the square and roast it over the fire. They are fabulous. You can also fill the bread with jam for little pies. It's like a pizza pop maker that you add your own filling too :)

Hope this helps you out some.
I always bring frozen foil packs (rectangle foil pans from dollar store) to put by/over the coals & fire :) I make things (or freeze leftovers) like pene, macaroni & cheese. Perogies & kielbasa. Potatoes, butter & onions. They cook up great.
Breakfast in a foil tin: yesterday's potatoes & veggies, throw in a few breakfast sausages and crack a few eggs over it & throw it on the coals until its cooked.
I also bring cans of food, veggies (like corn & peas), soups & chili. Open up the can or at least puncture and put over coals or heat.
Now I want to go camping!
Cinnamon buns...but I didn't blend the butter with icing sugar enough so it's lumpy...I'll try again.
I love cinnamon buns. Haven't made any in a month or so, thanks for the reminder :)
wow Holly!! Super baker!
Last night I made cinnamon buns with chocolate icing as opposed to the regular cream cheese icing .... think I'll stick with the regular, but it was a nice change! :)
I have baked bread for years. My family has always liked it way better than the store bought type. I do have to purchase it at the store once in awhile though, if I don't have time to bake. I give bread to my 5 dd's and their families as well (for some strange reason they don't want to learn to make bread???) :)
I love baking, and cooking, it's peaceful and I love to experiment with new flavors and spices. I love taking a basic recipe and putting my own twist on it, it can be so much fun.
My mom used to make her cinnamon bun icing with strawberry jam mixed in - it made it seem so special when we were kids!Quote:

It's a paltry 26C here tonight.
My eggs and flour are chanting. "Use us! Use us!"
Dare I???
I think I'll settle for pi.
As in, "The Life of Pi" by Yann Martel. I've never read that book and it's looking like a good night to curl up in the porch swing with a good read. :cool:
